Gatsby!

For anyone who has seen this amazing film you can grasp the sheer opulence and glamour that this era evokes. Pearls, lace, fringing and dramatic makeup was the order of the day.
Fiona Coyne of Heaven Scent  was the brainchild for this shoot having returned from London after a prestigious makeup course for this style.  She applied the different striking looks to our lovely models Suzi Coombs and Paige Martin.  Hair looks were created by Michelle Forrestal also at Heaven Scent.
The stunning Gatsby inspired headpieces were courtesy of Emily Jean- O' Byrne. A great inspiration for you brides out there considering this style of wedding...!

Our fabulous location in Newtownsmith was  BORN clothing store. They had a lovely array of dresses and shoes that we utilized for the day. Born happens to be my personal favourite store in terms of clothing and decor and a great place to go for food too!  Thanks to Sinead Ni Neachtain and Debbie Norman and Born staff for their help and patience on the day - ladies ye were an absolute pleasure to work with.

Final big thanks to Home Gallery upstairs who gave us the opportunity to also shoot there for the chandelier shots. All mirrors, lamps and chaise longues are available in home gallery just pop upstairs and be amazed by the beautiful furniture in all styles.

Some select dresses, wigs and props were dug out of the Boudoir Girls dress up box -  we stock many old style props and costumes for different looks for hen parties and girly photoshoots.  If any of you ladies are looking to recreate this look or any others with your friends either for a makeup night or photoshoot don't hesitate to contact us at Boudoir Girls  ( 087) 6332611 or the fab ladies at Heaven Scent  091 567192.

Popstars Hen party Galway!

I love it when a group of hens put huge effort into their outfits. This was the case with our popstars Hen party for Ms Kirana last summer . She was Madonna and all her buddies came as different pop stars. There was Lady gaga, katy perry, Spice Girls, Posh, Marilyn, Amy winehouse, cheryl, Jlo etc even a Miss piggy!.
We had a great shoot in the Victoria Hotel Galway and everything ran like clockwork under the careful planning of Jenni in Posh Fizz:  posh fizz on facebook
we had such a giggle posing along to the relevant tunes and they looked just fab - everyone got really into character.
Great idea as an icebreaker for your hen party as everyone has such a laugh at the costumes. It does not even have to be expensive to pull off! We provide several props for this theme - you can come in any costume that you like.

                                                  Madonna - perfectly preformed by Ms K!

Tattooed Beauty!

Here is a sneak peek at my recent shoot with the lovely Keelin.
Keelin is an apprentice at  'A.W.O.L.' tattoo shop in Galway with great promise and a love for the retro pin-up styles. I mentioned  a roller girl look might be cool and as fate would have it  her boyfriend had actually bought these for her 2 days before!!
The second look was more alternative bride - for those ladies who like to rock their tatts and still look pretty. Boudoir Girls cater for alternative styles and tastes as well as the classic bridal looks - Rock that frock , Tattooed Boudoir shots, Retro pin-up  and of course if you have any tattoos you would like to showcase we can do the whole 'Miami/LA ink look for you in studio or on location.
Hair styling in the 'Rollergirl' shots was by 'Natasha at Shockalocks' (check out her work she is amazing )  Anyone interested to book Keelin to model  for a shoot give her a shout on facebook!

Marilyn Monroe Hollywood Hen!

These fabulous ladies managed to bag a room in the schnazzy Westbury Hotel no less for Ms 'A''s Hen party. After braving Dublin traffic and being guided through the maze of one way streets by the lovely Bella - I arrived at the destination and was met with the most adorable bunch of women enjoying their cocktail class which was all organised by the Posh Fizz team. Quick wonder woman changeover -  all the ladies put on their Marilyn wigs and accessories for this shoot. The stunning Ms 'A' was thrown into poses all round with the gang to the tune of "I wanna be loved by you".  We managed to have a good giggle before the ladies whisked themselves off for dinner and drinks for the evening. Thanks to the Hotel for making the event run smoothly and being so accommodating!

Halloween preparations!

Nom nom - will be lashing into the kids collection of these at Halloween! 

It's all go round here at Boudoir Girls HQ preparing for our favourite time of year - Autumn and Halloween of course! It is the one time of year everyone gets to dress up crazy and have some fun - a good deal like our Hen parties really!! There have been some fun Boudoir Sessions going on with Halloween featuring so stay posted for some updates and sneak peaks  in the near future. It's a crazy month so I am apologizing now for my lack of blogging!
The children are demented thinking about their disco so I decided to trawl the internet for a good Halloween set list  - alas, to no avail.  I wanted to put one together that really covered all peoples tastes. Here is a list of songs that will help you get your party started - I think it caters for all genres and different music pallets  - Also to be sure you get more than ten songs with evil in you need to be a bit creative so I picked anything to do with devil/scary/evil/toxic/magic/heart  etc - you get the idea!
feel free to post more in the comments I know there are plenty more out there that could be added to this.

Ms Roisin's Burlesque Hen party!

Here are some snippets from a recent Burlesque themed shoot we did for a great bunch of ladies.
They first had their makeup applied by the talented makeup team Theresa Danaher and Samantha Craughwell and then slipped into our dress up corsets and accessories.
They all looked amazing and you would never know that  Roisin had hurt her back a day prior to this shoot she could not bend down or up the poor thing. She still managed to pull off some sassy poses with the gang and plenty of laughs were had.
