For the last 3 years I am delighted to firstly have neen nominated in the Mrs2Be Choice Awards, but also have been lucky enough to have reached the finalist stage. The lovely folk over at Mrs2be put these awards together in the and it is so nice to even be nominated, as they are not at all about numbers or going to hunt for votes, it is based on real reviews from real brides. So again this year, to receive the email that someone has taken the time to nominate me was a delight and then a few weeks later to realise that Brides actually took the time to submit a review about me, really blows me away. So I just wanted to say thank you to each of my lovely Brides that took the time out of their day to do so.

I have been in this industry a long time now and take extreme pride in my reputation and I thank my lucky stars every day to do a job I love, and to receive a little recognition for it beyond my control is is heart warming.

So thank you again,

Claire from Ardmore, got married last Summer in the beautiful Barnabrow House . On what was such a beautiful day, the sun was shining and everyone could not have wished for a better turn out with the weather! Claire was the picture of a beautiful Bride.

Thanks so much Claire for sending me on these beautiful pictures, and more so again for having me as part of your special day.

I hope you all enjoy!

Bye for now,

Everyone was completely taken and in love with Claire's little daughter Lana, I think you will agree :-)

Claire's fabulous bouquet by Bloomsday Flowers in Cork. Every wedding that I am part of that they are the florists, I know them the minute I see the bouquet. The girls are so so talented at what they do!

For her makeup Claire wanted to keep her look natural, and pretty. No work needed here, Claire is such a natural beauty but we kept her skin nice and natural with a flawless dewy glow. Also keeping her eyes neutral using warm tones and great lashes, paired with my favourite MAC lipstick in shade Syrup, which is a perfect shade for brides, especially if Blonde.

Claire and Herman's big day was also featured in The Sunday Independent. Such a lovely memoir for them to have to featured in such a massive publication. Her photographer, Katie Farrell captured each and every image to perfection.
