Natural Bridal Hair and Makeup at Casterton Grange Estate (and Other Stunning Venues near Carlisle)
For brides dreaming of a wedding day that’s as effortless as it is elegant, Cumbria offers some of the most breathtaking venues in the UK. As a bridal hair and makeup artist, I’ve had the pleasure of working at one of the region’s finest locations, Casterton Grange Estate, and I’m excited about the possibility of bringing my signature natural bridal looks to other beautiful venues in the area.
Why Casterton Grange Estate Is a Dream Venue
Nestled in the picturesque countryside of Kirkby Lonsdale, Casterton Grange Estate is a perfect blend of timeless elegance and modern luxury. The estate’s beautifully restored interiors and sweeping views make it an idyllic backdrop for a romantic wedding day.
Having worked with a bride at Casterton Grange, I can say the venue offers everything you could wish for on your big day—from stunning photo opportunities to a relaxing bridal suite. The natural light in the suite enhances every step of the getting-ready process, helping me create fresh, radiant looks that photograph beautifully.
Creating the Perfect Bridal Look for Casterton Grange
For this venue, I recommend a bridal style that enhances your natural beauty while complementing the elegance of the estate. Soft, dewy makeup with neutral tones works wonderfully against the venue’s romantic ambience. When I worked here, the bride opted for a fresh-faced, timeless look that perfectly matched the serene surroundings.
