Your Yorkshire Wedding - September/October 2020 (Issue 44)

Tell us about your company… I’m a professional make-up artist working across Yorkshire, blending bridal, fashion and commercial work with the BBC and ITV. I’m totally passionate about weddings and I find real joy in making my brides feel truly special. What’s your top feel-good hack? It’s always so busy in the last few days before a wedding, and it’s normal to feel a bit stressed. My tip is to make time for yourself, go for a long walk, get lots of fresh air, drink plenty of water and relax with a massage. Above all else, laughter is free and the best beauty tonic on the market! What’s your favourite way to relax and have some me-time? I love pulling on my walking boots and heading into the great outdoors. We’re so spoilt in Yorkshire as we’re surrounded by the most stunning landscapes. On a winter’s evening, I like to sit in front of the fire with a great book and glass of wine.

What’s your favourite way to relax and have some me-time? I’d run a bubble bath, complete with candles, incense, a good book and a large glass of chilled wine – bliss! Rebecca Asquith | Rebecca Asquith Makeup Artist | www.instagram.com/rebeccaasquithmua www.jessi careeve-photography.com Tell us about your company… We offer a welcoming and individual experience for the modern bride. All our dresses are made by us for you in a bespoke process. The options are limitless, meaning you can create something that truly fits you and your wedding vision. What’s your top tip for brides? Make sure your dress fits properly and you not only look amazing, but feel amazing in it too – confidence comes from within. Don’t feel pressured to look a certain way. You don’t need to lose weight or have a certain hairstyle; be you on the big day and let your confidence and happiness shine through. What’s your favourite way to relax and have some me-time? Like all of us, this is often last on the agenda, but reading fiction, meditation and a spa day always hit the spot for me.
