Just a few messages from Clare's gorgeous brides.

I just wanted to write to say a huge huge thank you for the make up that you did for Laura, Emma and myself. It was absolutely perfect and just what we asked for, especially the 'natural look' for me. I had so many comments on the day and they continue now when I see people about how good the makeup was. You made me feel very special and relaxed and helped make the day just perfect!
Rachel - Married on 10th March 12 at Rodborough Church then Kingscote Barn

Just wanted to say thank you on behalf of everyone who had their make-up done at my wedding on the 5th April. It was lovely having you play a part in such a special day. I only wish that I could have you as my personal make-up artist everyday! Your warm friendly manner helped us all to relax and enjoy the experience. Thank you for playing a very crucial role in helping me with my dress and getting into the car! I don't know what I would have done without you! I would definately recommend you to others and was very impressed with the service we received.
Lucy - Married on 5th April 12 at Cripps Barn (I worked with Chris Fordham)

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!
I just wanted to drop a quick note before I head off on honeymoon to say thank you again - you are fantastic! I absolutely loved my make up...just lovely and natural just as I wanted!! The girls looked fantastic too and were very happy with their look for the day! Everyone at the wedding was very complimentary and I've given you name to a number of future brides! Having you and Chris was great - you work so well together. I was just so relaxed with you both - it was lovely. It was a genuine pleasure having you both there. I had such a great morning.....and the wedding was just perfect!! I loved every single second of it....i don't think I stopped grinning all day!! I know you've got loads of weddings coming up and I hope they all go well...and that there aren't too may early starts for you!! As I said to Chris, I'm now jealous of all the brides to be out there that have all the fun to come!! Thanks again - it's been lovely to meet you.
Kate - Married on 30th Mar 12 at Cripps Barn (I worked with Chris Fordham)

I am emailing to say a huge thank you to you for doing the make up for Anna and I on my wedding day. We were so pleased with the results: you made us look stunning but also natural which is exactly what we wanted. I had wondered about whether to have professional make-up but it was absolutely the right decision: it was a relief to be able to hand over to you and Chris on the day and I felt very confident that you'd both do a great job. It was also lovely having you there on the day for a nice relaxing chat! I also can't thank you enough for staying to help me get into my dress: this was the only part of the day that I felt a bit stressed and Anna also appreciated having an extra (experienced) pair of hands for this. This was above and beyond the call of duty so thanks again.
Sarah - Married on 25th Feb 12 at Kingscote Barn (I worked with Chris Fordham)

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to both of you for helping myself and the bridesmaids look and feel very special on the day! Everything went perfeclty and it was simply the best day ever! A link to the photos is below - I think you'll agree the hair and make-up for all three of us went perfectly with dresses, venue and the general vibe of the day!
Zoe - Married on 3rd March 12 at Stone Barn, Aldsworth (I worked with Chris Fordham)

Hi Clare, I just wanted to say thank you so much for doing mine and Melissa's makeup at Clearwell Castle on the 5th. We had a fantastic day and our makeup stayed put all day long and we had so many compliments! You really helped to keep everything calm and relaxed whilst we were getting ready and I loved having you there to help us.
Lisa - Married on 5th January 12 at Clearwell Castle

Thank you so much for doing the makeup for my mum, bridesmaids and I on my wedding day. You made us all look beautiful and lots of people told us so. Even Ben commented on my makeup which is quite remarkable! We had a truly wonderful day, it really couldn't have been more perfect.
Emma - Married on 16th December 11 at Kingston St Michael

I just want to say a massive thank you for the makeup you did for me on my wedding day. I absolutely the loved the way you did my makeup on the day and I know my mum did too. As you know, I had not slept a wink the night before and so the way that you hid those huge bags was a miracle! Also, when you arrived I was a nervous wreck and by the time you had finished, I felt so much calmer and so able to enjoy the last few moments of getting ready. The rest of the day was amazing and it really was the best day of our lives. I would be more than happy to recommend you again and again
Lorraine - Married on 23rd December 11 at Egypt Mills, Nailsworth

A quick note to say a huge thank you for your professional and friendly services to us all on the occasion of Amy's and Henry's wedding.
We all looked wonderful! At least we set out like that.....Zoe blubbed for England all day!!! she even managed to set me off in the ceremony! However we dabbed rather than wiped or rubbed and we still looked good! You were right about brides huffing and puffing buy Amy went one step further and made small animal noises! Thank goodness for Chris's drugs run!
Pauline Mum of Amy - Married on 3rd December 11 at Guyers House

You were so calm and relaxed and your makeup made my sisters, my mother and myself feel confident and truly special. It really was the perfect day!

I just wanted to thank you both for a wonderful job you did on making me and my family look absolutely gorgeous on 1st October! It was incredible! I'm sorry it went all very quickly at the end and I didn't get a chance to thank you as much as I wanted to!
I have never felt more gorgeous in my life :) Words cant express my gratitude enough! We all felt incredible and we had the best day ever! I think the words my Mum used were "I have never seen you look more radiant "! I've never felt more radiant either! Not only did you make us look great you also created a bubble of excitement combined with relaxation! The ultimate professionals! Thank you so much!

I just wanted to drop you an email to say thank you! You really did an amazing job on me and my bridesmaids.

Heather - Married on 24th June 11 at Eastnor Castle

A HUGE thank you for all that you did for our lovely wedding - today our wedding photos were featured on the UK's biggest wedding blog and I thought you might all like to have a look - you can view it here. As with all these websites there's a limit to what details they include, so although I raved about all of you in the form I filled in, not everything has been included. However, I am busy trying to blog loads more photos on my own blog, and these will most definitely being telling everyone who did all the wonderful bits and pieces at our wedding. Charlie Burton from The Natural Wedding Company - Married on 21st May 11 at Hatherop

I wanted to say thanks for my beautiful makeup I loved it. As I have told Chris,
my very good friend who I see almost every day looked at a photo of the 3 bridesmaids and didn't recognise me! She said it was cos I looked so beautiful with my hair and makeup!
Rachel sister and Bridesmaid to Jo - Married on 10th June 11 at Manor House Hotel (worked with Chris Fordham)

I can't tell you how pleased I was with the make up that you did for us on Friday! I had so many fantastic comments and truly felt like the princess I never thought I could! Despite our slightly 'relaxed' start to the day(!) you and Sharon managed to get us all looking, and feeling, a million dollars and kept the mood high and jovial. I am truly grateful and look forward to winning the lottery so I can have you on a daily basis ;-)
Anna - Married on 20th May 11 at Birtsmorton Court (worked with Sharon from Truly Gorgeous)

I thought you both would like to see just a few of our pics that Rob & Fran took on our wedding day. I think you'll agree that we all look very glam but this wouldn't have been possible without your help so I would just like to say a huge thank you to you both. If I know of anyone else getting married I'll definitely be recommending you both - you're a great team.
Annette - Married on 19th April 11 at The Glen Yr Afon Hotel (worked with Chris Fordham)

I hired Clare to do mine and my sister's wedding makeup for our winter wedding. She was great! She is obviously extremely talented and took so much care over making us look our best. The photos look beautiful and I only wish that I could recreate what she did! Thanks Clare, you were wonderful!
Jennie - Married on another snowy 22th December 10 at Cripps Barn (worked with Chris Fordham)

Vicky - Married on 30th October 10 at Dumbleton Hall

Thank you so much for the amazing job you did on my make-up I absolutely loved it (especially as I'd never had a good makeover before, had one at MAC & I vowed never to hav one again, I'm so glad I changed my mine for my wedding day!) I was constantly getting comments all day about both make-up & hair! My husband even said it was so good that he wishes he'd had his done too! I can't thankyou both enough, you both did such an amazing job, & I think I was so calm on the day because I was confident you'd both do a wonderful job, & because you're both such lovely, calming personalities (even kept my mum calm! Which is a big achievement!!) & all the bridesmaids loved their hair & make-up which is an even bigger achievement esp Kat who's so unconfident & the make-up gave her a real confident boost!! I will definitely recommend you both to everyone!!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your hard work on my wedding day! It was an absolute pleasure to have you there on the morning, your calming influence was just what I needed!! Our makeup was flawless all day and night and everyone commented on how nice it was. I have worn my lipstick all honeymoon and every day since, I love it! We had lots of fun along the way with organising the wedding but us girls especially enjoyed the pampering part, I think we can safely say we would have makeup trials every weekend! So thank you again Clare for your fantastic makeup skills, helping with ginger cats and laying blankets on the lawn to help protect my bridal shoes!

I will also sort out a few photos when we get them and send them over if you'd like - just because we all looked sooooooo gorgeous! You were amazing.
