🥂 Champagne certainly gathers the sparkle of everyone on your wedding day.
So what’s the lowdown around alcohol and a marriage ceremony? 🥂

Well – as much as getting married is a personal journey, it’s also a legal one and the two of you and your witnesses must present as “sober” by law. So your celebrant will be discreetly assessing your sobriety before the ceremony starts, especially if there’s been a few “bubbles” knocked back by the bridal party.

Rule of thumb – if you’re fit to drive (2 units) then you’re fit to get married. And celebrants out there, have this conversation with your couple during discussions and at the rehearsal so everyone’s on the same page.

💍✋🏼🫳🏼💘

For many people, proposals are supposed to be the kind of romantic whirlwind that you hear about in fairytales. The love of your life gets down on one knee, says a beautiful speech while asking for your hand in marriage – an emotional, memorable, and beautiful occasion.

But, have you ever wondered WHY getting down on one knee to propose happens?

If you’re having a flower girl at your wedding who is under the age of 8, it’s unlikely that they will actually throw any petals! Here are some cute alternatives that will actually get used

🎀 Pink Ribbon Day is this month! 🎀

For those who have known me a long long looooong time know I started my working career as a Bra fitter in the wonderful world of Farmers Dunedin.
The time I spent fitting any… all… and had to go boobies… was a time I hold tightly in my heart.
Over recent years I have had the privilege of being involved in lots of ways at Pink Ribbon Breakfasts or events and I have big plans for my future involvement with Breast Cancer NZ, but all in good time!

This year I am so crazy excited to be attending a breakfast hosted by three BEAUTIFUL women, the Bo***es And Bubbles gals!
To support their fundraising I am donating a personalised makeup and glam session to be actioned off at the breakfast, eeeeeeeee ya! I look forward to pampering a glorious human, spending time making them look and feel fabulous!!!!!

To all who have been touched by this awful illness I hold you all in my heart and send all the love out there to your hurting hearts💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓.

For me this year my heart is holding a dear friend of mine, Lady Laura may you rest in such eternal peace, regardless the distance our lives went, I am beyond thankful for the beautiful seasons we had together. I will love you forever x
A Give A Little page has been created for Laura’s beautiful little girls and dedicated husband to help with family life after losing their mummy and wife. Please give if you are able to this truly gracious glorious family x

To all who are attending a pink ribbon event, to all who are raising money for this cause, don’t you just WISH our tears were turned into money, gosh we would have trillions!!! 💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸

As always biggest loves from me to you x

💓💞💗💖💕💓💓💗💞💕💕💓💞

🤩Celebrant - for You by Skye is changing!

It’s been tools down for a few years for me in the makeup artistry space💄💋…

However this past year after getting to know more of my brides I realised the beautiful bonus of not only being of service as your independent marriage celebrant here in Waitaki, but I could add more value to that relationship and your wedding day by being your makeup artist too!

I’ve been duo-ing for my brides now for a while and it’s the BEST!!! 🥳🤩👍🏻

So it’s time now to update my page here to showcase both my celebrant and makeup services! 👰🏻💄 With that in mind we have a NEW LOGO!🤩🤩🤩🤩

Spaces for the 2023/2024 wedding season is booking up, so go go go message me and let’s get you glammed and married!!! 👏🏻🥰🙃

Biggest loves to all x
