Just back from another wedding at Leez Priory.  Very sorry I have not had the chance to blog very much but I am completely snowed under at the moment with weddings and trials.  For almost every wedding there is a wedding trial and I often hold two trials a day just to keep up.  Recently I have been working at Leez Priory, Gosfield Hall, Prested Hall, Gaynes Park, Newland Hall, Maidens Barn, the Reid Rooms, Blake Hall, Braxted Park and I could go on…….if you follow me on Twitter, you will have more frequent updates of my whereabouts and also the brides hair and makeup styles I carry out on the actual day of the wedding.  I also try to post on Facebook regularly.  Both of these social networks are accessible from this website so please do try and follow me.  I am still getting many calls for weddings in August, even though I have announced that I am fully booked.  I pride myself on one wedding per day so that I can give myself totally to the bride for that one special day.  Its unusual for me just to carry out hair and makeup, I normally end up helping the bride and bridesmaids into their dresses, assist putting on their jewellery, I take photos for them all and I am generally a spare pair of much needed hands in many cases.  I do also know when my job is done and it is time to leave and I then make a discreet exit.

For the past two days I have been at Leez Priory and have not long returned so I am feeling rather tired.  Yesterday Laura McCarthy married and became a Mrs Pooley, she had a very big wedding party.  She looked stunning.  Today’s bride, Melanie, also had a large bridal party.  They were all in the Police Force so it was a very entertaining day listening to all their stories.   I now enter a very busy week again with trials and some wonderful weddings.  One of my brides this week still has no idea where she is getting married, as her husband has organised absolutely everything!  Her wedding trial was tricky as I was given strict instructions not to discuss her wedding day.  So I am really looking forward to working with this particular bride this week.   I have also been practicing my backstage hair and makeup for the production of Grease the Musical, by Young-Gen.  I will be working backstage on Grease for a week in April and I cannot wait.

Well, I’m off now, to rest my weary head and feet as they are particularly sore as I was with my bride from 9am to 3.30pm. Catch up again soon.
