I was so happy to be a part of lovely Annabel’s wedding. In fact, I’m a pretty lucky girl in that all the brides I work with are really lovely. For a bride who’s spring wedding was being coated in a thick blanket of snow, she was amazingly upbeat and calm, as well!
I’ve never been to the York and Albany before but it’s a great venue. A gorgeous English pub/hotel run by Gordon Ramsay opposite Regents Park. Just wonderful. Annabel was getting ready in one of the suites there and it was a really fun atmosphere with her Mum and friends all getting ready together.
For the run down on Annabel’s pretty makeup, keep on reading.
