Hannah and Sam’s vibrant summer wedding was a joyful celebration full of love, laughter, and colour. The couple said “I do” in the beautiful Ribble Valley area of Lancashire, with Hannah’s family farm serving as the perfect backdrop for their fun, festival-style celebration. The couple wanted their day to be a reflection of their personalities – laid-back, creative, and full of life. For her bridal makeup, Hannah turned to Make Me Bridal Pro Artist, Nicola Miller of Nicola Jane - Makeup Artist, who perfectly understood her vision for a fresh, natural look that would let her embrace that bridal glow.
Hannah’s natural beauty was the focal point of her bridal look. She has beautiful skin and didn’t want to mask it with a lot of makeup. Nicola worked closely with Hannah to create a look that was light and fresh, opting for a skin-reflecting foundation that enhanced her complexion without feeling heavy. Instead of bold, dramatic eyes, Nicola chose subtle lashes to frame Hannah’s eyes in a way that kept her look soft and approachable. The star of the show was a bold red lip, which added a pop of colour that perfectly complemented the vibrant rainbow wedding palette, especially the red roses that were part of her bouquet. Nicola’s approach ensured that Hannah felt like herself, just with an extra touch of glam, while allowing her to be comfortable throughout the day’s festivities.
Held on Hannah’s family farm in the picturesque Ribble Valley, the wedding was truly a labour of love. Almost every detail of the day was homemade, giving the celebration a personal, heartfelt touch. The couple embraced a fun, festival-style theme, with guests staying in tipis on the farm and enjoying the relaxed, outdoor setting. The vibrant décor and colourful flowers added to the joyful atmosphere, all lovingly arranged by Hannah’s mother, who had taken a flower arranging course specifically for the wedding. The venue was filled with DIY charm, from bunting and handmade signage to mix-and-match floral centrepieces. The mix of rustic and vibrant elements, along with the stunning natural surroundings, made for a truly unforgettable celebration that reflected Hannah and Sam’s unique style.
