In March, The Scottish Wedding Hair and Makeup Directory brought together an incredible team of Scottish wedding suppliers for a full day of inspiration at The Richmond Events, near Maybole, South Ayrshire. We planned two completely different looks to showcase not only this stunning wedding venue but also the breathtaking coastline just minutes away at Croy Shore Beach.
When it comes to planning a Scottish wedding, one of the biggest concerns we hear from brides is:
“Will my hair and makeup survive the Scottish weather?”
Our latest styled shoot proves that the answer is a resounding yes.
A Luxury Wedding Venue with Stunning Coastal Photo Opportunities
The Richmond Events is one of Ayrshire’s most beautiful exclusive-use wedding venues, offering elegant interiors and picturesque grounds. Just a short drive away, Croy Shore Beach provides couples with an incredible alternative backdrop for wedding portraits, combining dramatic Scottish coastline with unforgettable sea views.
By incorporating both locations into the styled shoot, we wanted to inspire couples planning their wedding in Ayrshire and across Scotland, showing how easily they can enjoy both a luxury venue and spectacular beach photography on their wedding day.
Scottish Wedding Hair & Makeup That Really Lasts
The real stars of the day were our talented directory members:
- Bridal Hair by Morgan
- Jill Rowan Makeup
March in Scotland certainly tested everyone’s resilience. With chilly coastal winds, sea spray and freezing temperatures, model Gemma experienced just about every weather condition imaginable.
Despite this, the bridal hair and makeup remained flawless throughout the entire shoot, even after our model, Gemma, ventured into the sea for some truly unforgettable photographs.
If you’re worried about your wedding hair falling flat or your makeup disappearing after a few hours, this styled shoot is proof that choosing an experienced Scottish bridal hair and makeup artist makes all the difference. Professional products, expert techniques and experience working in Scotland’s ever-changing weather mean your look can stay beautiful from morning preparations through to your last dance.
Behind the Scenes
It was fantastic to collaborate once again with some of Scotland’s most talented wedding creatives.
Rhona Wilson Photography captured every beautiful moment throughout the day, while Rowan Creative documented the behind-the-scenes content, giving a glimpse into everything that goes into creating inspiring wedding imagery.
The styling was beautifully curated by Make Believe Events, with stunning floral designs by Darcey Macguire, creating elegant ceremony and reception inspiration throughout the venue.
Our gorgeous bridal gowns were supplied by Dream Brides Irvine, perfectly complementing both the elegant interiors of The Richmond Events and the wild beauty of the Ayrshire coastline.
