#NWWA19 Finalist!

2019-06-19 By Laura-Louise Leave a Comment

It has been an incredibly busy month as a wedding makeup artist in Cheshire and North Wales now we are in peak wedding season. However flaming June hasn’t really arrived yet and…. well…we are all saying”flaming June” for the wrong reasons with some of Cheshire and North Wales being submerged last week in 12 inches or more of rain. Fingers crossed that summer is on its way and we can start whinging about how hot it has been instead!

I wanted to tell you all about last Wednesday, when I got all dolled up in my pretty black dress and headed over to an awards ceremony at the Mere Golf & Spa Resort near Knutsford, Cheshire.

Each year, County Brides Magazine based in Cheshire hosts the prestigious North West Wedding Awards.

I was nominated in 2018 and again in 2019 and having the support all of my previous Brides, I was proud to make it to the finals. Exciting!

Leaving Chester, the weather was pretty grim, dressed up to the nines, my phone was pinging with over twenty+ messages from previous Brides wishing me all the luck in the world. I felt so incredibly proud to have so much support and so privileged to be a makeup artist to my Brides.

When I arrived at the Mere Golf and Spa Resort, the car park was full to bursting but I managed to sneak into a space near the main entrance. I struggled with changing into my heels, almost head butting the steering wheel on one occasion! I even plucked up the courage to make a video for facebook, saying thank you to each and every person who voted for me. You can watch it here: Pre-Awards Video

As I got out of the car, I opened up my brolly and started to run, as well as you can in stilettos. My phone continued to buzz all night with “good luck” messages but I made the most of the event chatting and networking with fellow wedding suppliers from Cheshire, Merseyside, Wirral, and the rest of the North West of England. Wedding suppliers had travelled far and wide, from Carlisle in the North to Stoke in the South.

AS I walked in, I had my virgin bucks fizz (sensible, as I was driving) and queued up for the photo mirror (on my own, how brave!) provided by “A Touch of Glamour” and listened to the talented solo artist who was entertaining the crowds.

There was a really fantastic atmosphere and I was standing there, taking it all in when we were called into dinner. The coolest green lighting in the room made it a really “wow” moment as I entered and headed for my table, Magnolia. The meal was amazing, as were the singing waiters, the charity Auction to raise money for Destination Florida Children’s Charity and on the night, raised a staggering £6503.50.

The awards ceremony began about 9.30pm and yet seemed to be over in a heartbeat but unfortunately, this year wasn’t my year. A huge congratulations to all the nominees and the worthy winners. My hands are still sore from all the clapping. I left the awards evening feeling upbeat and proud knowing that I am working to a fabulously high standard, amongst the best in the north west, in an industry that is fabulous from head to toe.

When I jumped in the car, I checked my phone for one last time before setting off and read this message from my Daughter. As you can image my heart burst with pride.

Once again, a HUGE thank you to each and every Bride who showed me all of your love, kindness and support and here is to winning in 2020!

Two Further Award Nominations for Laura-Louise Makeup Artist

2018-04-11 By Laura-Louise Leave a Comment

I have some FABULOUS Awards Nomination News to share with you all!

Last week, I received a message on Facebook saying:

 

“Congratulations! Your customers have been voting for you and we can officially confirm that you have been nominated for the North West Wedding Awards 2018. For further information and for you to ask your past customers to vote for you from the last 2 years. www.countybrides.com/awards

I was ecstatic to say the least!

Awards raise the profile of any business, especially new businesses. The brilliant thing is that they are voted for by my customers, my Brides who have already experienced me at work and my service from beginning to end.

Knowing that it can only be voted for me Brides adds even more sparkle to the news about being a nominated in the North West Wedding Awards 2018 so you can imagine my surprise on Monday morning when I opened up my email and read…..

I can’t quite believe how incredibly lucky I am to have such wonderful Clients

I’m sitting here in my office in shock and I can’t quite believe how incredibly lucky I am to have such wonderful Clients who think that I am good enough to be nominated for an award. I consider myself very lucky to have been trained by the best that there is to offer and have also worked alongside a list of super talented wedding suppliers who have also been so supportive of me and my dream to be a successful makeup artist. Then there are the Brides, their Bridesmaids, their Mums, Mother-in-Laws and friends who like me and love my work…I’m just so incredibly lucky!

I’m feeling emotional just writing this….but if you are reading this, THANK YOU.

From the bottom of my heart. Thank you for nominating me and putting my name forward among so many wonderful makeup artists. I know it’s only April…but you have made 2018 a magical year for me, you really have

I will now go downstairs and break the news to my Daughter…no doubt you’ll hear the screams and see the fireworks as she bursts with excitement at the news! I’m glad you won’t see the horrendous celebratory happy dance we do in the kitchen when we are celebrating wonderful news! 😉

Love to you all,

Laura-Louise x
