We had a beautiful wedding today at the Outrigger Resort in Laguna with the lovely Abby who is from Oz but living in London.

Abby used to be a model so was super tall and had beautiful long red hair 🙂 her dress was absolutely stunning – lace, very vintage and 1920s inspired and she had a gorgeous head piece we were going to work into her hair design.

Abby had 4 bridesmaids who all had really different hair – both colour and length so we did Emma created 4 different designs.

They were all really beautiful girls so we could do some quite bold make up to bring out the colours of their dresses which were a pretty grey-blue.

It was a really lovely girly day – the villas at Outrigger are really great and it was really nice for Abby to have all the girls around her as she got ready.

Thanks so much for being so beautiful and lovely girls – we got some gorgeous pictures and you all looked amazing 🙂

Best of luck Abby and Derron and massive congratulations 🙂 xxx

Raquel and John were travelling the world together for a year when at the beginning of their trip he asked her to marry him 🙂 so because she had family in Spain, they spent some time there and she had a fabulous veil and dress made which were just stunning!

We met Raquel and John here in Phuket on the final leg of their trip for her make up and hair trial in Karon.

We started her wedding day with a morning of pampering for her and her bridesmaids, manicures and pedicures, before starting on the hair prep and set for her, her bridesmaids, Mum and Mum in Law.

We created individual hair designs for the bridesmaids as they had hair that varied in length, colour and cut so we wanted to design styles that all worked really well for them personally.

Raquel had her hair curled and pinned into an updo. I brought out her beautiful Spanish features and skin tone with her make up and gave her Mum a smokey eye and a fantastic red lip to go with her red dress which looked beautiful on her.

She looked absolutely stunning in her dress, and the veil was just incredible!

Congratulations to you and John my lovely, we look forward to hearing from you soon 🙂 xxx

Emma and I have just got back from a mini road trip to Krabi yesterday for Jan and Michael’s wedding at the Centara. It was about a 3 and a half hour drive there and then a 20 minute boat ride to the hotel – it was quite interesting getting off the boat onto a makeshift plastic pier with 3 massive bags of hair and make up stuff between us! But we made it in one piece!! Phew!

The villa they had booked was beautiful. Jan and her family were Sri Lankan and Michael’s family were from Mauritius, which was really nice as Emma’s Dad and family are also from Mauritius and it worked out that they lived quite near each other!

The colours the girls had chosen for their dresses were absolutely stunning and complemented each other so well – fuschia, lilac and a tealy green – beautiful! Jan also looked like a vision in her stunning ivory dress and veil.

It was a bit touch and go with the weather and whether it would rain but it held off for the ceremony and the reception so we were very pleased for them 🙂

[slideshow]Me and Emma stayed behind to do touch ups after the ceremony and for the beach pictures. Jan and Michael invited us back to the villa for a quick cocktail, which was very kind of them – and we couldn’t say no to after a very long day, so we stayed and chatted to everyone before getting the 8pm boat back to the mainland and driving home. We took a back way home, and because it had just been raining on the hot tarmac, the road was emitting steam and around the Thai roads with no lights it looked like ghosts coming at the windscreen which freaked Emma out a little, bless her!!

Congrats to you both and thank you for a fabulous day!! We hope London is treating you both well!! xxx

Congratulations to Ceci and Allan who got married at Laguna today!!

They had a beautiful traditional Chinese tea ceremony,上頭 in the morning, which we were lucky enough to see from afar, at one of the private Sheraton villas.

As we were getting Ceci, her sister and Mum’s hair and make up done, everyone began to arrive and we could hear friends and relatives of the Bride and Groom laughing and joking downstairs, playing games which sounded like they were a serious amount of fun!

Ceci had a gorgeous custom made traditional Chinese dress – the material was absolutely fabulous so I must remind myself to pick up something similar next time I am in Hong Kong!

After the Bride made her entrance with her Dad, who looked so proud, we sat and watched the ceremony take place. Tea is China’s national drink and it symbolises respect.

We watched Ceci serve tea to both her parents, as an act of respect and gratitude for all the years of love and care. After the drinking of the tea, Ceci and Allan were presented with gifts in red envelopes which contained money and/or jewellery – we could see Ceci receive some really beautiful gold bracelets.

Ceci and Allan, relatives and friends then proceeded to Allan’s family to perform the same ceremony, formally introducing Ceci to Allan’s family. It was such a lovely ceremony and occasion and everyone was really happy and smiling for it all!!

When Ceci returned, we got her, her sister, Mum and bridesmaid Sheila ready for a second change of hair and make up, for the wedding ceremony itself at the Chapel on the Lagoon at Laguna.

Emma and I then drove to the Phuket Pavillions to set up ready to receive the wedding party back for a third and final change of hair and make up. The villas at Phuket Pavillions were absolutely stunning and so beautiful – breathtaking views over all of the island!

Ceci looked absolutely stunning in her red dress she wore for the Cocktail Reception and Banquet, as did her Mum in a gorgeous floor length grey and silver beaded dress.

Everything was organised to perfection, thanks to the wonderful Jeanette at Luxury Events Phuket (luxuryeventsphuket.com).

Me and Emma left to drive home at about 8pm. It was a long day but so enjoyable – the Laus were such a lovely family and we were so happy to be able to be a part of their daughters’ day 🙂 xxx
