Weddings aren’t just a celebration of love — they’re a beautiful weave of story, connection and unforgettable moments. That was especially true for Lizzie’s wedding at Thornbridge Hall in the Peak District — a day full of romance, elegant style, and heartfelt meaning.

A Special Bridal Connection

I first met Lizzie not as a bride — but as a bridesmaid. She was part of her friend’s wedding at Wilderness Reserve in Suffolk a few years ago, where I was the makeup artist. I had the joy of doing her makeup on that day, and she loved the way her look felt — natural, glowing and authentic to her style.

Over the years, she had her makeup done by other artists for different occasions, but she always remembered the confidence she felt in her look that day. When it came time for her own wedding, Lizzie knew exactly who she wanted by her side to create her bridal beauty — and she sent me up to the Peak District for her wedding day at Thornbridge Hall.

It was a true honour to be chosen — not just once, but again — by someone whose trust means the world.

Bridal Beauty for a Peak District Bride

Lizzie has a naturally graceful and timeless beauty, and her wedding vision was all about soft, radiant, modern elegance. We worked together to design a bridal makeup look that felt:

💫 Fresh, natural and glowing
💫 Photogenic from morning until dancing
💫 Softly defined, yet beautifully modern

Her makeup enhanced her features with luminous skin, subtle shading around the eyes and a refined finish that perfectly matched the refined yet relaxed atmosphere of Thornbridge Hall.

This was a bride who wanted to look like herself — only the best version of herself — and that’s always my favourite kind of wedding makeup to create.

Why Thornbridge Hall Was the Perfect Dream Venue

Thornbridge Hall in the Peak District is truly a storybook setting. With its stunning gardens, historic architecture and breathtaking landscapes, it provided the perfect backdrop for the day — and for every photo that captured Lizzie’s smile.

From the elegant bride prep in the morning light to the joyful celebration of the evening, every detail of the day felt connected to nature, beauty and heartfelt intent.

A Wedding Full of Joy

Lizzie and her partner created a day that was emotional, beautiful and unforgettable — full of laughter, warm moments with family and friends, and personalised details that made every moment feel rich with meaning.

Working with her again — this time as her bridal makeup artist — was a privilege I’ll always remember. Her trust and warmth made the journey from weddings past to her own special day so meaningful, and her soft, modern bridal look was the perfect complement to the romance of her Peak District wedding.

Congratulations, Lizzie — may your married life be as radiant as your wedding day!
