Sally’s Wedding Day Preparations


I don’t normally think to take “before” and “after” photos but Mika from Heaven on Earth Photography has captured some beautiful shots from the morning of Sally’s wedding day so I thought I would take this opportunity to give a “behind-the-scenes” look at the beauty preparations on the wedding day.

We know the boys usually spend a few hours in the pool or having a hit of golf, but this is what the girls get up to on the morning of the wedding day!

The mother of the bride is up first and it all starts by prepping the skin with a girl’s best friend…moisturiser… while that’s settling we put the hair in hot rollers.

Next… we apply a water-proof, sweat-proof, tear-proof foundation with build-able coverage…in between some healthy snacks!

After setting our base we work on the eyes, blending and building with shadows to shape and define.

The bridesmaids are next!

Again we start by moisturising then building a base.

Once that has set, we focus on the eyes with waterproof mascara and eyeliner to create a fresh, natural look for Sally’s garden wedding ceremony.

By now, it’s mid-morning and we are really on a roll.

The photographer has been snapping away and the videographer is capturing all the excitement as the countdown begins.

With her bridal party looking beautiful, it’s time to make Sally shine!
