A Lovely Thankyou!

It's always nice to get mail, and when it's in the form of delightful praise from a bride I can't help but get all fuzzy inside. In fact this one almost had me in tears!! Just had to share....


Dear Natalie,

I will send a proper thank you note but I wanted to write before we leave on honeymoon to say thank you so much for all you did on Saturday.

I was so delighted with my hair and make up - when you arrived I was feeling so stressed and tired after a few sleepless nights but you transformed me into a princess for the day. I have to admit I had not been 100% sure about having my hair and make up done professionally but my Kate's (her sister-in-law and a previous bridal client of mine) recommendation convinced me to go for it and I couldn't be more pleased that I did. It really took the pressure off when I was feeling anxious before the ceremony to have someone take the reins while I sat back and took a moment to be quiet and reflect on what was to come.

You were such a lovely, relaxing person to have around and your calming influence was felt not only by me, but also my mum and the bridesmaids (who absolutely loved their hair). By the time I arrived at the ceremony, I felt so beautiful and confident which I am sure helped me relax and enjoy the day from that point onwards.

Thank you for all the little extras you did for us too - from helping mum with her hair, pinning on dad's button hole, putting on my veil, fixing my last minute spot issue (sorry again for asking you do to that!), fastening my bracelet and giving the bridesmaids a spray of make up fixer. It didn't go unnoticed and we all appreciated it so much.

Best of luck with planning the final aspects of your own big day. I hope you have better luck with the weather than we did but I have to say it didn't matter a jot in the end and our wedding couldn't have been more perfect - sun or no sun.

Best wishes, Helena

Aaaawwwwwwww, is'nt that sweet?! 
I love my brides!

Ivy Hair Vine - Gorgeous Bridal Hair Accessory!

There are many gorgeous bridal hair accessories on the market these days, but there are styles that I see over and over again.

Combs and pins with sparkles or pearls and they are popular because they work with most hair styles, are secure in the style, and are easily accessible.
Every now and then I come across a bride who has hunted out something really different for her wedding hair style and I'd like to share with you the accessory that I got excited about at Isabel's wedding!
It's a hair vine that can be woven through the hair, bended, molded and manipulated to fit any hair style.
Isabel chose to wear her hair down and the vine worked really well being woven through her curls. It was easy to secure with a bit of backcombing and pinning at the roots which are hidden under the top layers of lovely wavy curls!
These hair vines are available from Camias Jewelry Designs.

So here it is my latest editorial hair styling work, featured in  C-Heads Magazine.
This issue the theme was wonderland, and our shoot was entitled 'Bird of Paradise'...
