Dont Tell the Bride - Link to iPlayer.
Its been around 3-4 months since we filmed Dont Tell the Bride. Late one Thursday night when we we’re finishing off clients the producer came in and asked if we’d like to take part. Weddings being such a big part of Peaches , I love the show so jumped at the chance, however when automatically asking for dates, times and numbers etc it started to dawn on me that true to the nature of the show it was to be a very last minute booking… to say the least. Despite not knowing what lay ahead ( a nightmare for anyone who knows what a control freak I am) we agreed to take part and arranged to meet the groom the following day…. I was abit confused when the produced refered to she but soon caught on that it was a Lesbian wedding.
A very stressed groom arrived at Peaches in tears the following day and revealed the wedding was the day after (Saturday)… now anyone who’s tried to get an appointment on a Saturday at a weeks notice will tell you the chances are slim if none, so squeezing in a whole wedding party hair and makeup the day before is impossible, but then nothing is impossible for Peaches as we’ve proven. So after a quick move about of some appointments we pulled her out the ‘poo’ as Jade would say, and never one to miss a ‘Mare’ll fix it moment’ Big mare arranged to make a mini mareband for the baby bridesmaid and some mareclips for the older ones! After leaving on a high I then had to break the bad news to Nic and Polly who I’d arranged to do my dirty work for me…” You’ve got an hour to do 4 hair and makeups”, you can only imagine what they said to me, I reassured that they would be ok and that atleast they didnt have to do the Brides hair but still don’t think they were impressed!!!
The following day we all waited tense back at the shop hoping the girls had arrived on time and that it wasn’t too much of a rush, and eager to see the bride and groom as they were getting married over the road at the Town Hall. I can’t remember what time it was when Anna and Jade ( Groom and Best man) burst through the doors looking fab in there suits so we pimped them with abit of eyeliner and some blue nail varnish courtesy of Scratch. We got a big wave off the bride as she drove past, then Nic and Polly arrived back with tales of chaos but you can see from the footage they did an amazing job anyway as I new they would.
Sian (the bride) and Anna came in the following week with thankyou cards and presents, they are a great couple and we wish them all the best for the future. If you didn’t see the show you can watch it on BBC3 iPlayer it’s one of the best episodes they’ve made.

Beware if your out shoppin in L1 today, Big Mare is on the loose! Armed with her book of raffle tickets I’ve told her not to bother coming back till she’s sold 1000! Just incase I’ve lost you… she’s out raising money for Children in Need selling raffle tickets for the chance to win a Golden Ticket to Peaches & Cream. At just a £1 they’re well worth the chance to win £160 worth of makeover treatments just intime for christmas! Don’t panic though if your not in town today, we have extended selling up untill 7pm tommorrow night when we will draw the winner!
With fundraising well under way we’ve already had a charity spray tan victim in from the passport office. Amidst alot of heckling from his workmates, he was a good sport allowing Nic to transform him into Keith Lemon! Wonder if they’ve told him it’ll be even darker tomorrow… and probably won’t wash off till Wednesday????

Its Children in need on Friday so tempting as it would be to dress Big Mare up as Pudsey and make her parade up and down Dale Street with a bucket, we’ve opted for the less comical but more valuable idea of raffling one of our famous GOLDEN TICKETS!
In true Willie Wonka fashion the Peaches Golden Ticket entitles the winner to our full range of fabulous treatments, including: Hair up or Curls, A Whipped Cream makeover inc. lashes, a Brow shape and Tint, a Spray Tan and Shellac,Minx or Rockstar nails for hands and Toes! Raffle tickets cost £1 ( a snip for £160 pounds worth of pampering)and are available to buy instore all week up untill 7pm on Saturday, when we will draw the winner!
So if your in town this week please pop in to get your ticket and help us support such a great cause!

OMG, What a crazy day this was! Kate AKA Devil wears Prada and Nicola AKA Avatar arrived at the shop at 7.30am to do their makeups. The other girls turned up one by one laughing at how Nicola had outdone her previous legendary Medusa outfit from Peaches and Scream 2009. There was Poison Ivy Polly, Liz as a Standard Sexy Cat, Little Kate as a dead fafi doll, Harry as Beetle Juice, De as a skeleton, Big Mare as Cruella/Black Swan and Rosaleen as . . . well no one could work out what she was, a zebra/lion halfbreed!? Kate had a little break and this was when Eyeleen (Kates little sister Rosie) was born. We all said Gaga would be jealous of this one! Funniest moment of the day was when Kate nearly sacked Big Mare for spilling her favourite M.A.C glitter over with excitement! We all had such a great day which ended up in our favourite Greek, Eureka. It was all too much for Avatar so she bailed home, she couldn’t cope with being papped anymore! The rest of the Peaches partied the night away ending with thriller renditions in Rose’s student halls taking shots out of one of eyeleens homemade eyeballs!

To cut a long, crazy story short Nic ended up coming to Frankfurt with me for Rebecca’s gig for the International motor show. I just couldn’t take the chance that a few squirts of rescue remedy would get me there in one piece. Everything happens for a reason though; we had some good bonding time, loads of fit food including 30 euro burgers in bed and a proper laugh at Elmer a German makeup artist from berlin who had also been booked as a backup. God knows what Bec would of ended up looking like if I hadn’t of made it, his kit was box fresh as in there was no evidence he had ever even used it!!!

The multi talented Lizzie joined our team this year. She’s actually my brother’s sister in law so we are kinda related although now she’s a peach that’s more of a sisterhood than any blood tie. Anyway aswell as being a makeup artist she is also a cake decorator ( by the way this is all squeezed around looking after her 15mth year old son)! Liz unveiled her Peaches cake this weekend at the Hilton, its amazing! She’s handpainted the wallpaper from the shop (which actually used to be a vintage dress of mine) onto a wedding cake! Check out more of her creations at www.lizzieslarder.co.uk.
