Marilyn’s Timeless Wedding Look with a Minimalist Veil at Hengrave Hall
On the 6th of August 2024, Marilyn celebrated her wedding day in the exquisite surroundings of Hengrave Hall, a venue renowned for its historic charm and timeless elegance. Her bridal look was nothing short of breathtaking, featuring a stunning asymmetrical gown by Vivienne Westwood and our minimalist veil, Paige, with a blusher and simple edge. The simplicity of her gown combined with the ethereal beauty of the veil created a look that was both classic and contemporary, perfectly suited to the grandeur of the venue. The two layer chapel veil added a touch more length to Marilyn’s look for the ceremony and created the perfect finishing touch to her modern, minimalist wedding day look.
Minimalist Veil: The Perfect Match for a Contemporary Bridal Style
Marilyn’s choice of a silky, asymmetrical gown by the iconic Vivienne Westwood was a bold yet elegant decision. The gown’s clean lines and luxurious fabric highlighted her natural beauty, creating a sophisticated silhouette that needed a veil with the right balance of subtlety and grace. Our minimalist veil, Paige, in pale ivory, with its simple pencil edge, provided the perfect finishing touch. Our Paige chapel length veil in pale ivory, with its simple pencil edge, provided the perfect finishing touch. The two-layer design added gentle fullness, enhancing the flow of the gown without overshadowing its elegance. The veil’s minimalist style brought a touch of tradition to her modern bridal style, flowing beautifully as she walked down the aisle.
Classic Bridal Beauty: Hair and Makeup
Marilyn’s bridal beauty was crafted by some of the best in the industry. Her makeup was handled by Faye Neill, who created a classic soft bridal glam look with shimmering eyes and a soft nude lip. The makeup enhanced Marilyn’s natural glow without overpowering her look, keeping the focus on her radiant smile and elegant gown.
Her hair, styled by Rachel Olivia, was worn in soft waves, half up and half down. This style added a romantic touch to her look, complementing the flowing lines of her minimalist veil and gown. The slightly waved hair perfectly framed her face, while the half-up style ensured that the veil sat beautifully, allowing its delicate layers to cascade gracefully down her back.
