I adore these photographs. When I received them from Francoise,
I was absolutely in love. Funny, I had
been doing makeup for about two years and when I saw these pictures I suddenly
felt like a Makeup Artist. It is some of my favourite work even to this day.
Francoise had her wedding at House Higgo in Northcliff. The
venue had suited her vintage taste as as well as her French theme. There was so much
excitement in the air, House Higgo was buzzing. I recall Francoise having black
stone hearts on her table settings as gifts for the ladies. Only in the last
year or so has hearts become fashionable and already back then did Francoise
have fun shabby chic ideas.
I also did the makeup for her two bridesmaids. We obviously
went for red lips and liquid liner, luckily the girls were game for the red lips. Each bridesmaid had on a
different shift dress and head band. We had actually decided to change the
makeup on the wedding day. We had made it darker and smokier. I think it suited
her dress and as well as her beauty. Francoise has eyes that are very caring (as she is a doctor)
and you cannot help but smile back.
I still see Francoise for a spray tan once in a blue moon.
We always have a laugh and I get to steal interior decorating ideas from her home. Anyway, please enjoy!
