Claire’s beautiful Oxford Wedding

Tuesday, February 27, 2018

This was such a beautiful classic Oxford Wedding. 

I arrived at the renowned Old Parsonage Hotel where Claire was getting ready. Old Parsonage Hotel is very beautiful with lots of natural light, making it a perfect place for makeup and hair. 

Setting Claire's Hair

Claire had decided to go for a natural wavy hair down style which I thought looked fantastic on her wedding day xx

First and foremost was to set Claire’s hair. By adding Heated rollers they would set curl that would hold. With a natural flowing look, this step is absolutely essential to ensure that thet last the entire day.

Claire wanted a very soft natural makeup, that would enhance her natural beauty.  I used an Illuminator Primer to give Claire’s skin a natural glow.  I added a Perfect Luminous liquid foundation from Dolce & Gabbana, which also gives a soft natural glow to the skin.

Eye makeup was kept simple using a soft cream base from Tom Ford. I contoured the eye with a soft brown Coffee shade from MAC.  Individual small lashes were only added to the side of the eye to open the eyes, keeping the look natural. 

A natural blush from NAR's called Orgasm was added to the cheeks and a little bronzer to give a natural sun-kissed glowing look.  

To finish Claire’s hairstyle I added some real hair extensions to give extra length and thickness. I pulled all the hair to side and pinned it in place.

Their ceremony was held at glorious Worcester College chapel of Oxford University. Claire looked breathtaking walking down the aisle. It looked an increasable Wedding day from start to finish - A day very special day which will be remembered forever.
