I just got these great photographs back from Sue Yardley who had a wonderful wedding day in October at Bashall Barn Clitheroe.

She was kind enough to write me this testimonial:

 

I found Polly from her website and as I was getting married nowhere near my home I was conscious of finding someone that would be great at make up but also be a positive part of the wedding morning.

From going and meeting Polly for the trial she was so friendly from the outset and made me feel really relaxed! Every girl has bits about their face they are conscious of and Polly was fantastic at understanding this without making me feel awkward and worked with me to make sure I was 100% happy.

I gave Polly some feedback about what I liked and bits I was unsure of and she explained why she had done it and gave me the option to change. As the specialist she explained her reasoning without patronising and making me feel uncomfortable. For example not too much under eye highlighter so it doesn’t show up on the photographs as bright white!

I would highly recommend Polly and so would my whole bridal party…my mother in law wasn’t going to get her make up done and after seeing myself and all the bridesmaids she changed her mind on the morning and Polly happily accommodated!

Thank you Polly!!!

Sue Yardley

A Lake District Elopement wedding… 🤍 Is this your A Lake District Elopement wedding… 🤍

Is this your idea of the perfect “I do”?

Just you and your favourite person, escaping to the Lake District, surrounded by breathtaking scenery, with a private ceremony and a day that’s completely about the two of you.

No seating plans. No guest lists. No pressure.

Or do you dream of celebrating with every single person you love by your side?

There really is no right or wrong way to get married – only the way that feels right for you.

I’d love to know… are you Team Elopement or Team Big Wedding? ✨

Beautiful glowing skin, a soft matte smoky eye using the iconic @makeupbymario Master Mattes Palette — l an absolute staple in my bridal kit — this stunning skin-like glow achieved by using  @natashadenona HY-Glam Foundation.

I always love creating makeup that feels polished and elevated, whilst still looking like real, healthy skin in person 🤍

This look was all about fresh, natural beauty with soft radiance throughout the skin. We used the Charlotte Tilbury Unisex Healthy Glow tinted moisturiser for that healthy lit-from-within finish, paired with the iconic Beauty Light Wand blushers for the prettiest natural flush ✨

Finished with @charlottetilbury Wedding Belles lipstick for that soft pinky nude bridal tone that works so beautifully for wedding mornings 🤍

Fresh skin, soft tones, natural glow… the ultimate classic bridesmaid makeup look.

And just a little reminder… soft glam IS NOT “natural” makeup.

This look was full coverage, sculpted contour, glowing blush, false lashes and plenty of definition — but all kept balanced with soft neutral tones to create that timeless, elegant bridal finish 🤍

Polished, flawless, camera-ready makeup that still looks & feels soft, romantic and bridal from every angle ✨

Sometimes the smallest weddings create the calmest Sometimes the smallest weddings create the calmest, most magical mornings 🤍

This beautiful elopement at the Cragwood Country House Hotel was just the bride, her husband, and their two children… and it felt so relaxed.

No rushing. No stress. Just a peaceful morning getting ready exactly how she wanted it ✨

One of my favourite parts of the morning was helping her into her wedding dress before she walked downstairs to marry her person. Such a special privilege to be a small part of moments like these.
