You’ve found your dream wedding dress but now is the time to work out the finer details to complete the perfect look.
We’re talking wedding day jewellery and deciding on the perfect hair and make-up that will elevate a good look to a show-stopper!
We enlisted talented wedding suppliers for our styled shoot at The Weaving Shed in Dundee to showcase fashion-forward hair and make-up paired with some killer jewellery looks.
Read on for all the details…
Matrix 0.25ct diamond ring in 9ct yellow gold ring (£1,726) Sheila Fleet Jewellery with gold pearl and crystal cluster necklace (POA), Rachel Scott Couture.
What better way to show off all this gorgeous jewellery than with a beautiful structured floral tabletop arrangement (POA) and loose blooms?
We enlisted Helen Hardman of The Greenshed Flower Studio who employed local and seasonal flowers including chrysanthemum, hydrangea, dahlia, snapdragon, cosmos, scabiosa, nigella, ammi, astrantia, feverfew and eryngium along with scavenged copper beech, birch and ivy.
“I achieved this look by creating a base of foliage and balanced it with flowers with whispy stems to give that classic Greenshed Flower look,” she says.
“The mechanics are all reuseable, recyclable and biodegradeable,” Helen adds.
Kirsty of Kirsty MacPherson Hair and Makeup Artist worked her magic on our model Kathryn to create three distinct looks for this shoot.
She began by creating a waved textured ponytail using the BaByliss 29mm tong, along with Moroccanoil texture spray to give the tousled effect and then pinned in some of Helen’s gorgeous flowers.
For the make-up she used the new Vieve foundation balm with Vieve skin nova primer to give a dewy finish along with Dior highlighter and her favourite lipstick, ‘Midnight’ by Illamasqua.
Kirsty then progressed to look two; brushed out waves, again done with the tong, and smooth control cream from Moroccanoil to tame any fly-aways.
She used Victoria Beckham’s satin Kajal eyeliner in cocao and black to give the eyes a smudged soft look and finished off with her number one bridal lipstick;
‘Modesty’ from MAC.
According to Kirsty the final look was “so much fun!”
She blended an orange-toned eyeshadow with a pink, then used Karla Cosmetics’ opal multicoloured shadows in ‘Nightfall’ in the corner to give a more mystical finish.
Dior highlighter brought shimmer to Kathryn’s cheeks with Pat McGrath’s ‘Divine Rose’ lipstick.
The look was finished with a messy knotted bun with a little lift for height and Kirsty used Kyk powder to texturise the bun.
