Happy New Year to our Sussex Brides and Grooms - Here's to 2021!

Hello Everyone! We hope you’ve all had a lovely Christmas and celebrated as much as you can with the UK 2020 festive period restrictions in place in Brighton! Christmas has looked a little different this year although we still wanted to wish all our Sussex Brides and Brides-to-be a Happy New Year for 2021!

We absolutely LOVE weddings on NYE and at Christmas time (especially in gorgeous venues such as The Grand in Brighton or cosy Sussex barn wedding venues) and as most of the weddings we had booked in for this festive season were postponed this year we thought it would be nice to share with you some photos from a NYE styled wedding photoshoot we were part of in December!

The wonderful images were all captured by brilliant photographer Archie at Bowl of Corks and the concept, planning and coordination for this photoshoot was entirely created by Abigail at Bowl and Corks Weddings (we recommend newly engaged couples check this wedding planner out - she knows her stuff!) and we absolutely LOVE the on-trend burnt orange tones and colour coordinated theme chosen by Abigail for the shoot!

We styled our beautiful model Lauren’s hair into a low, textured bun with pearl accessories and created Lauren’s make up using a variety of cruelty free palettes including Charlotte Tilbury, Urban Decay and Too Faced. The gorgeous ‘rust’ colour eye look was created using a budget friendly Make up Revolution palette which was a lockdown treat for our kit and hope you love it as much as we do - please get in touch if you want to know which one we used!

Every year we are always thankful to our brides who book their wedding hair and make up with us and our fellow Sussex wedding suppliers from whom the support this year has been truly amazing! We are always grateful for having such wonderful clients and as 2020 has been a year like no other it’s even more appreciated!

We hope that 2021 will be a better year for the wedding industry and to all the brides who had to postpone their wedding in 2020 we’re sending you such a huge amount of love and hope that weddings can resume so that we can all celebrate with friends and family again soon.

Thank you to everyone who booked with us for their wedding in 2020 and 2021 - we wish you all a Happy and Healthy start to the New Year. However you have spent this time at home we hope it was a good one, stay safe and have faith that one day we’ll be reunited with our loved ones, celebrating weddings bigger and better than ever before!

Lots of love and best wishes,

Sarah and the team at Powder and Pin xx
