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
Jan Valentin – April 2010
Lisa and Emma, I can’t thank you enough for doing such an amazing and professional job on me and my bridesmaids, we all looked so glamorous! The moment you both arrived, you made me feel so comfortable and talked me through exactly how I wanted my hair and make-up, and the result was absolutely perfect. You made me look exactly how I had dreamed and made me feel like a very special bride! All of my bridesmaids were so happy and looked so beautiful. We all had very different complexions and hair textures which you managed with effortlessly. Also thank you so very much for understanding my needs and calming my nerves when I needed it the most, your positive and calming energy was exactly what we all needed! You are both fantastic at what you do and I would recommend you without a doubt!
Lots of love and best wishes, Jan xx
