Ben and Naomi

     Today was the first time I met Naomi and her family. When I arrived everyone was pretty chilled out but drinking plenty of the energy drinks due to lack of sleep the night before. 

I did Naomi's makeup first and as the wedding theme was bold and bright colours, Naomi wanted a dramatic bridal look with pink lips. I used the Urban Decay Naked palette and bobby Brown black gel eyeliner to create Naomi's eye look with Mac's face and body foundation. 

Gemma from Dream Bridal Hair straightened and then plaited Naomi's hair to the back to create a very classic look. She looked like "red carpet royalty". I had such fun creating this look. She almost shed a tear.

Naomi and Bens wedding was a small intimate wedding with very close family and friends. 

The wedding was at the Fairlawns Hotel, Little Aston. The Fairlawns Hotel and Spa is a private family owned and managed venue situated within 9 acres of landscaped grounds with wedding garden. The reception room was decorated beautifully by Jo from Chic Covers. The bright colour theme carried onto the pretty and simple reception room having various colours of Gerbera flowers as centre pieces.  Which then in turn laid attention on the choice of wedding cake Naomi and Ben had. It was a tower of delicious mini cakes made lovingly by her good friend.

Naomi met Ben at O'neills in Sutton on a night out with friends. Then fast forward  a couple of years Ben proposed on holiday after they finally had their official mortgage offer after a nightmare with other lenders.  

Naomi and Ben have Been planning their wedding since January 2014 when they got engaged in October 2013 but Naomi wasn't allowed to start planning till they had moved into the new house. When Naomi was allowed to plan they decided the colour theme would be Colourful as they are both big fans of bright colours.  

Naomi bought her Mori Lee elegant satin wedding dress from Red Rose Bridal in Boldmere. It has pretty silver and pearl beads as a belt around the waist. We initially had a bit of a struggle with static on the dress but nothing a bit of hairspray wouldn't sort out. 

The whole morning was captured by brilliant photographer Lorna Gilbert who was also a family friend. 

Naomi had two bridesmaids Susie her sister and Alison her close friend. The bridesmaids wore a vibrant pink dress with a black shawl. 

The whole look was stunning.
