A happy newlywed couple embracing each other on their wedding day.

Hayli and Grant were married in a classic country wedding with elements of boho style in the beautiful Cain Manor in Surrey. With its Elizabethan oak beams and views of wild forest and flower-filled meadows, the barn-style country house oozes English country charm. Perfect for Hayli and Grant’s elegantly rustic style! They highlighted this with a spring palette of blush, lilac, and classic navy. Make Me Bridal pro artist Alice Porter created the perfect hair and makeup look to suit the overall wedding style and highlight Hayli’s natural beauty!

For her hair, the bride wanted a soft, natural updo with a boho feel. She also asked that her bridal hairstyle incorporate a braid. Alice worked with her at the trial to find the perfect style, and the two eventually settled on two Dutch braids folded into a curly and twisted updo, with a few strands left down around the face to frame it. The look was finished off with a pearl and crystal embellished hair vine. For the ceremony, Hayli’s veil was added beneath the hairstyle so that all the detail was visible. The combination looked so romantic with her lace wedding dress.

For the bridal makeup, Hayli requested a natural, classic look which enhanced her features and made her feel like the best version of herself. To achieve this, Alice used Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter as an illuminator, along with Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation as a base. She also added MAC Blushcreme in the shade ‘Ladyblush’ and Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow. For the eyeshadow, she chose the Urban Decay Naked 1 Palette, with Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner to define the eyes. On the lips, Hayli wore a gorgeous combination of Charlotte Tilbury’s ‘Pillow Talk’ and ‘Bitch Perfect’.
