Prom 2014

Ahhhhh finally a blog post on mine and Abbie prom!!! It was amazing and actually felt like a dream! The venue was amazing and the views were amazing as it was at a golf club which meant good pictures! It was so pretty and the way the prom comity decorated everything was lovely and how the group pictures were done and we even had props to have pictures with! So this blog post is just some pictures of our prom and how me and Abbie arrived in style in our cute gold Rolls Royce!


First was my makeup which I loved we used a lady called Tamsen who is a makeup artist and  we knew from my hairdresser who got married, so we invited her round and had a few consolations as I could not decide how i was going to have my makeup the first trial the eyeshadow was way to dark and it really didn't look like me and I wanted to look back when I'm older and to be like 'omg look at little me' aha so then a few weeks later  I had another trial  and this time we used light browns and glitter and no fake eyelashes and it looked like me so that's the one I went for and I loved it!


Next was the hair and again had several trials as I could not make my mind up of how I wanted it so I started with to the side with lots of curls and then all down and then finally tired half up and half down and boom that was the one! I love my hair curly so my hairdresser just did tighter curls in my hair and pinned my fringe ( which is growing out) and some pieces of my hair to the back and pin it up to in a way make a ball of hair at the back of my hair aha! sounds ugly but it was so beautiful and we ended up buying some hair pins from the one and only Claire's and they were little pearl balls with diamonds in them they were so cute and went lovely with my dress! 






Then my nails! These were prom nails/holiday nails and it took me ages to pick a colour as I have gel on so I have the colour for like 3 weeks so I have to really like it! I finally went for a colour called "cake pop" from CND and I went for crystals on my ring fingers and glitter tips on the rest sounds horrible and tacky but they are lovely and I plan on having the same colour on for my holiday and the same crystals on the ring finger as they were pricey but then I had exactly the same on my toes and had crystals scattered on my big toe as my shoes were peep toe and of course wearing sandals on holiday!


Next is the best part the dress and the accessories.... My dress was perfect I absolutely loved it and it fit my perfectly! I ended up having it made by someone who my family are friends with and this was only because 1)The sizes were too big in the prom dress shops for example put on a size 4 was too big and Abbie had the same problem with the sizes and 2)Nothing stood out to me and I didn't want anyone having the same dress as me:S anyway we went to Birmingham and brought all my fabric for the dress and it was a lovely experience picking the colours and seeing how it all went together and every couple weeks I would get pictures or she would come and I would try it on and I loved it and it was nice seeing how it all come together! The dress was baby pink with a corset back and scattered crystals on the bottom of the dress and a crystallised bodice and it was lovely I'm in love with it, and I'm so grateful that my mom agreed on it and I'm grateful for how much my parents did! Next are the bag and the shoes! My shoes were something that me and mom thought was a brill idea which was crystallised heels! So we went to next and brought some gold shimmery kitten heels and asked a lady called sparkle with emily who has done a lot for us ( and I really recommend her to everybody)to crystals my shoes and she did and they are so beautiful! I then forgot about a bag and this was a last minute buy as the shop that does my nails has a shopping area and I found the most delicate crystallised clutch which would go perfect with the dress and then I was done!








Then the car!! It was beautiful, me and Abbie went for a gold Rolls Royce and it was so pretty and vintage we really liked it and it was such a reasonable price so Thank you Kerry for finding it us. And the man who drove it was so nice and actually played along with mine and Abbie's sarcastic jokes we do so after he picked me up my mom followed me to Abbie's house were we met up and then travelled to the venue and it was such a surprise as we kept our dresses a secret and I don't know how we did that but we did!







Overall the night was amazing! And we really enjoyed it and the venue was lovely we had a load of pictures with our friends and group photos with silly props and stuff but I don't think they would appreciate me and Abbie putting pictures of them up on the internet;) I really hoped you enjoyed this post it's something different but I will be doing my holiday makeup and will post it before we go on holiday!

Thank you:)
