Wedding at The Shelleys Hotel in Lewes

And the bride wore Superwoman trainers!

On the outside, Shelleys doesn't look that big a place, but don't judge a book by its cover!

I was booked on the 31st January to do hair, make up and nails for Maria's Wedding day. She was staying at the Shelleys hotel the night before, which is always a bonus for me as I can arrive any time I want knowing that the bride will already be there.

It doesn't take me long to rearrange the room so that I can set up.... Nails first

Make up set up at the lovely dressing table.

One of the reasons why I enjoy being a part of someones wedding day is that I get to be a little bit nosey! - A close up of Maria's Tiara

Maria isn't really a 'bouquet' type of person so she had these lovely wrist corsages made for her

And then she pulled our her Wonder woman pumps!

I love how brides are sourcing alternative shoes for their wedding day. And these wonder woman pumps are comfortable as well as being funky. Maria added the bridal laces herself.

Once I have painted Maria's nails, using a lovely Shellac Grape colour, It was time do do her hair and make up. - Both of which had already been decided on at her trial 3 weeks earlier.

Wedding pumps fit nicely under that dress.

Was I had finished Maria's hair, make up and nails I helped her to get into her beautiful wedding dress, nice and tight and then said my congratulations and goodbyes before having a cheeky peek downstairs;

How to plan a wedding ?

I often get asked by people how a wedding day transforms and the answer is that each wedding day is very different to each other with some brides being more organised than others, and also a lot of it depends on how the bride is feeling - you will never know how you will feel on your wedding day until the day itself comes! Here is a little insight into behind the scenes on the morning of a wedding day. With thanks to Laura Higgins (nee Lancaster) who has kindly let me share her morning with the world! Enjoy reading and remember, this is just how Laura's wedding transpired, each wedding is individual and every one's wedding day is different to eachother......... Having met Laura for her trial, it was decided that I would turn up at the Norfolk Arms, Arundel where she was getting ready at 07.30 am. Bride and bridesmaids were ready and waiting at the window for me! First things first - turns out the veil had no clip attached so I quickly put the bridesmaids to...
