Wedding Day Hair & Make Up at Miss Fox

As you may have already read in my previous post, I had my hair set in curls on the Friday night, and slept in them. I sleep on my tummy usually, but sleeping on my face was a whole new kettle of fish. I would fall asleep and then wake up petrified that I was going to smoosh my face and wake up with creases.

When I tried to sleep on my back, my head just kept bouncing like it was on a trampoline. Odd.

I was pretty stressed out on the Friday night as I was behind schedule by 45 minutes, and hate to be late to appointments. When I got to Miss Fox, Victoria rustled up some nurofens, water and a delicious herbal tea which helped me relax. Miss Fox is my happy place.

These photos are from Saturday Morning....

I don't know why I look so tanned, I had zero fake tan on!
Shirley Temple eat yo' damn heart out.

Cat feeding Henry. He is so cute dammit.

I forgot my veil and Goanna went back for it. I'm so silly. How does one forget their veil when going to have hair done for their wedding?!

Jo gets married on October 7, cannot wait!

All 3 of my sisters chose their own hair styles and make up.

Liz had a fantastic high bun - just like how I wanted my hair originally until S persuaded me otherwise...

Jo & I

I love this shot!!

These bunnies kill me with cuteness.

I was surprised to find out that the make up they use is Mineral Make Up. I always thought Mineral was crap and gave zilch coverage. I stand corrected.

"Hellloooo?"

My dress is from Review, and the flower is a random one that I pinned on...

Mum & I

Luna completing her magic. Seriously, the woman is a genius.

Loving life in my veil!!!!!!! That "Wow, I'm a bride!!!" moment kicks in about now...

I am so, so, so happy with how my hair and make up turned out. It was 100% perfection. I cannot fault a thing.

After having our photos outside my hair was ratty from the wind, so I stupidly brushed it out before the reception and it looked nice for an hour or so, and then after all the dancing, hugging, kissing, people grabbing me etc, I ended up with a birds nest of hair.

I can't say that I cared though!!!! Looking at photos from the end of the night is terrible though, my hair is matted and insane!!!!

Hair and Make Up Trial

I had my hair and make up trials on Saturday and I am not 100% with either of them, but we know we are heading in the right direction and I am 100% confident in both of the artists.

The mistake of blowdrying my hair straight, and then curling it was made, and I knew my hair would not hold the curls.

I am however satisifed that it will look good on the side like this.

Make up.

Talk about a close up of my mug.

I told Blanka to do whatever she felt was right for the day, with the ceremony being at 1PM and me not usually wearing much make up and this is what she did. It's very fresh and natural, but I think I want more of a smokey eye. She is amazing at what she does though. It definitely is not wedding make up worthy. This is me going shopping.

My hair was ruined the second I walked out of the salon and into the rain and gail force winds! How is it going to last on the day? Who knows what the weather will be in September. 

S said "You look beautiful, but you look like every other day" in relation to the make up, he also said I look pale, which is no shock considering I've been avoiding sun for 10 months and have a cold!

Either way, as with lot's of the details about the wedding, I'm not going to be devo if I end up with a pony tail and fresh face on the day. As long as we get married I'll be happy.

How do you take a smokey eye from a 1PM ceremony to a night time reception?

I'm going to keep having trials. Sigh.
