✨ Meet Cat

Cat’s wedding at the beautiful Ufton Court was the perfect example of how magical a winter wedding can be. With the soft glow of fairy lights and the sparkle of evening sparklers, the atmosphere felt incredibly romantic and festive.

All of the gorgeous images featured here were captured by the talented Ayelle Photography and Cat’s stunning dress was from The Wedding Studio Berkshire.

✨ The Bridal Vision

Cat wanted a bridal look that felt natural, elegant and completely “her.”

Her hair was perfect for glamorous styling (long, thick, and incredibly healthy) so we decided on Hollywood waves, which created a timeless and polished look. The waves held beautifully throughout the entire day and well into the evening celebrations.

For makeup, we kept the overall look soft and natural while enhancing her features. Cat has the most crystal-clear blue eyes, so I wanted to subtly draw attention to them while keeping the rest of the look balanced and fresh.

💄 Creating the Look

Cat naturally has a slightly deeper lip tone, so instead of choosing a paired back colour which is a popular choice for brides, we opted for Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Medium.

Although this shade can appear quite bold on fairer skin tones, it complemented Cat’s natural colouring beautifully and really made her blue eyes stand out. The result was a bridal look that felt refined, natural and perfectly suited to her.

🌸 Wedding Day Details

Cat’s December wedding brought with it all the cosy charm of the season. As the afternoon light faded early, the venue transformed with fairy lights glowing around the grounds.

Later in the evening, the sparklers came out, creating the most incredible atmosphere for photos. The combination of the winter evening light, twinkling decorations and joyful celebrations made the whole day feel truly magical.

From the Bride:

“Ruby was completely brilliant, both at my trial and on the wedding day. She did my hair and make up as well as my Mum's and sister's. She's so lovely, friendly and professional, and created such a calm and relaxed environment. I completely loved my wedding look - Ruby listened to everything I was hoping for and created something which felt really special but still 'me'. Couldn't recommend her highly enough - thank you Ruby :)”
