Winter Wonderland DIY Wedding Looks

Caroline Robinson — Fri, 22 Nov 2019 12:20:15 +0000

Winter might not be the warmest, but it is definitely the most magical season to organise your wedding. And let’s be honest; a winter wedding is incredibly romantic as well! Cold white colours and little, snowflake-like sparkles and diamonds might play an important role while choosing your dress and of course, your makeup.

In this post, we collected some Winter Wonderland DIY makeup videos for you to achieve the perfect wedding look.

1. Natural Winter Glam

Charlotte Tilbury absolutely nailed this look! This makeup is so natural but at the same time, it looks fantastic.

2. Sparkling Eyes

This look is not specified as a ‘winter’ makeup, however, the sparkling eyeshadow at the end does the magic.

3. Soft Winter Bride Look

This bride was defo born to be a makeup artist! We love this soft bridal look.

4. Again, a natural beauty…

Red lips simply can’t go wrong in winter.

5. Beautiful Blondes

This look is perfect for blondies. The combo of the light eyeshadow and the rose-coloured lips is fantastic!

We hope we gave you some inspiration for your perfect winter wedding! 🙂

Winter Hen Party Ideas

Although it’s more popular for brides to celebrate their last night of freedom in summer, some decide to organise their party during the cold season. Don’t worry, there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, winter parties can be just as entertaining as the ones organised during the summer. We do offer a range of activities suitable for Winter Hens!

Express cocktail making with a Latin Meal
A fun one-hour-long cocktail making session including four cocktails per person, followed by a delicious 2 or 3 course Latin meal. Extra drinks can be ordered and paid for on the night.

Fascinator Making
The ideal crafty activity for your hen. Express your creativity and make something gorgeous you can wear to the wedding. During your two hour workshop, your teacher will show you how to create a unique fascinator sewing together the provided materials while expressing your individual style.

Pizza Making
This fun-filled Hen activity offers you a little trip to Italy… Each member of the party will make their own delicious pizza in one of Cambridge’s Best Pizzerias. Your cooking session will be held by a charming chef, so you will learn from the best! Free-flowing prosecco (or Mocktails or Draught Menabrea) included through the pizza making and meal.

Chocolate Making
90 minutes of delicious heaven for any chocoholic hens! A professionally trained chocolatier will meet you at the private venue and, having already set up and brought all the tools and ingredients with them, will guide you through the history of chocolate making before some demonstrations and practical learning – yummy!

Dancing Lessons
Get ready for the wedding with some killer dance moves during a 90-minute fun-filled session! You can choose any dance style you like. Our most popular ones are Salsa, Grease and Dirty Dancing. Your highly experienced teacher will take you through the moves. (P.S. there is a fully licensed bar operating on the venue to make you feel cool on the floor.)

Halloween Zombie Bride Makeup Tutorials

Caroline Robinson — Thu, 31 Oct 2019 11:06:32 +0000

Zombie Bridal costumes are timeless at Halloween, especially between those lucky ladies who are about to get married shortly. Getting your Halloween outfit ready should not cause any trouble; a white dress and a veil will always do, probably decorated with some fake blood. However, when it comes to the Zombie Bride Glam, there are too many ways to express your creativity.

1. The Corpse Bride

This look is definitely for the make-up pros out there. It is fantastic to watch how someone is capable of such a transformation into a cartoon character.

2. Runaway Bride

This look is easier and can be done by anyone who is patient and artistic enough. You can wear it with our without contacts, but we do think that any unusual coloured lenses would look amazing with this make-up.

3.The Bride of Chucky

Chucky and his wife, Tiffany have been popular since the 1990s, and people choosing to dress like them simply can’t go wrong. This make-up is less extreme; no fake blood, no lenses, no full face painted and powdered to whiteness. In fact, the ‘Bride of Chucky’ look is kind of pretty!

4. Glam Zombie Bride

A little bit of Zombie Bride Glam – who said zombies can’t be attractive? This make-up is so lifelike and creepy, but at the same time, we have to admit that this Bride looks fantastic.

5. Ghostly Bride

We do love the all-white look and do definitely recommend wearing azure or turquoise lenses to complete it. The fake blood around and inside the mouth just lifts this make-up to a higher level.

We hope that we gave you some useful tips for tonight’s Halloween party. Happy Halloween, everybody!
