Izabella writes: “From the very first moment we connected with Ana, we knew her wedding day would be something truly special. Her vision of timeless elegance, romantic softness, and an intimate, candlelit atmosphere came through beautifully in every detail she described. Styling Ana’s wedding hair and makeup for her special day was an absolute joy; her calm, radiant energy made the experience unforgettable for our entire team. — and we were so honoured to be a small part of bringing that dream to life”.
Ana’s focus on effortless beauty was a perfect match for the romantic styling of her day. From the very beginning, she knew she wanted a look that felt authentic and timeless — glowing skin, soft waves, and a radiant finish that complemented the stunning and stylish intimate space for her wedding at The Lanesborough Hotel.
Getting Ana ready in one of the hotel’s elegant bridal suites, with its beautiful natural light and serene atmosphere, was a moment we’ll always treasure. We loved being part of her morning — a calm, joyful space filled with laughter, anticipation, and heartfelt excitement.
“I want to express our immense gratitude to Ana for allowing us to inspire and guide future brides by sharing her Lanesborough Wedding experiences and offer a personal glimpse into our vision and work here at Izabella Bordignon London.”
How was your wedding beauty experience with us?
Absolutely amazing! You made the whole process so easy and enjoyable. I felt completely at ease, and my hair and makeup turned out better than I could have imagined.
Why did you choose Izabella Bordignon London?
Your portfolio showed such a beautiful, natural, yet elegant style, which was exactly what I was looking for. Plus, from our first conversation, I knew I could trust you to make me feel my best on my big day!
What was your inspiration for your wedding at the Lanesborough Hotel?
Our wedding was all about timeless elegance with a romantic touch. We had a soft colour palette, lots of florals, and candlelit details to create a warm, intimate space at the Lanesborough.
How did you both meet?
We met at law school. We had been friends for a year, and then Peter came to Brazil (my home country) for the Olympics in 2016. The rest is history!
How did he propose to you?
He proposed to me in Central Park in NYC – I was completely surprised and he had organised it so that my best friend was hiding, in time to capture the special moment.
What did you do to prepare for your special day?
Lots of planning, of course! But I also made sure to take care of myself — drinking lots of water, and focusing on stress-free moments leading up to the day.
What was your inspiration for your hair & makeup?
I wanted a soft, romantic look that felt like the best version of myself. I was inspired by effortless beauty—glowy skin, soft waves, and a look that would feel timeless in photos.
What was a memorable moment for you?
The ceremony – walking down the aisle and seeing Peter’s reaction — everything else faded away in that moment.
Where was your honeymoon?
Bora Bora, it was a dream!
