Beautiful real bride Elma, from Stradbally Co. Laois. I loved every single detail of Elma’s look for her big day. From her glitzy shoes to her fabulous dress teamed with that beautiful smile, she was the picture perfect Bride.

We went for warm smoky tones on her eyes, which really stood out under her headpiece, and on Elma’s lips I went with MAC Cosmetics lipstick in Syrup, which gave a lovely pop of colour and complemented her hair and overall look perfectly. This is probably one of my favourite colours and suits nearly everyone.  I wore it myself on my own wedding day!

Elma's hair was done by the wonderful Val o' Dea. I work with Val regularly and not only is she so gifted when it comes to hair, she is great craic and we always have a fun filled morning.
