Orange Tree House Shoot

Every now and again I get the pleasure to work with some crazy talented people. This shoot was one of those occasions. My wee daughter Florence even got to have her modelling debut at the tender age of 2. I could not of been prouder. She is a wee star in the making, hehe.

Getting married and wondering where to hold it? Check out Orange Tree House in Greyabbey. It is run by a beautiful lady called Jan who will make your wedding day so special. 

The credits below show who was involved with the shoot. Check them out and they could be exactly what you're looking for for your own wedding.

Booking your Bridal Dream Teams

You’ve said “YES”, you’re literally floating on cloud 9. Venue and date are set, planning has begun. If hair is of great importance to you, DON’T put booking your favourite wedding hairstylist off. You may have been following their work on social media and would love to book them.

If like me, their bridal diary could be booked up months, to a year in advance. You don’t want to be disappointed in not booking part of your dream team.

Think about style and how you invision yourself on your big day. Book hairstylists who will travel to your home/hotel on your wedding morning. Let us come to you. It takes the pressure off you. 

Contact hairstylists directly via phone, email or their website. Once contacted by brides, I always check availability of their date against my bridal diary. If I'm available I then forward my wedding letters and pricing to them and we take it from there.

Meet your potential bridal hairstlyist for coffee (green tea for me) and seek their guidance in regards to hair accessories and viels. You can get a real feel for someone once you’ve actually met them.

I like to meet all my brides for chats to find out their style and vision for their big day.

Make moodboards – pinterest, images from websites or magazines. It’s better to have actual images you love rather than trying to verbally explain. It gives us a better understanding of what your bridal vision is. We don’t mind looking through the images, it’s our job and we love it!

The internet is a wonderful crutch for wedding planning. Do your research.

 Search blogs – Inspire , One Fab Day, Both do Real Life Weddings

·      Websites – Facebook - Instagram

·      Stalk people (it’s okay to stalk and have a good nosey)

·      Set yourself a budget

·      Decide on what kind of bride you want to be

Last but not least, remember your future hubby or wife have asked YOU to marry them, not a version of what you think a “bride” should look like.

Don’t be afraid to be yourself.  A bride is YOU!

My Beautiful Brides

I get to meet so many wonderful people in my line of work. Bridal hair is something I have an insane passion for. I just love creating soft natural styles that stay. Here are some of my favourite images captured of my beautiful brides.

Wedding Hair

“I will come out to your home or wherever you need me to be on the morning of your wedding. My aim is to make you and your bridal party feel as relaxed as possible on the morning of your big day. I stay until you and your bridal party have been dressed just so I can do the finishing touches and attach your veil if you wish to wear one. I will only ever take on ONE wedding per day as I pride myself on personal service and being there to make your hair as beautiful as you are for your special day”

Love Lynette xo
