LET’S CHAT

A quick call or email comes first, where we can get to know one another. I will ask you to create a Pinterest board or send over some images of the type of look you would like to achieve.

A non refundable deposit of £90 will be taken to secure your wedding date. This will then be used as pre payment for your trial.

THE TRIAL

A full on, 3 hour bridal styling session where you can try as many looks as you would like. This is held at your home, and your bridal party are more than welcome to join us for either their own trial or just to enjoy. I bring lighting and a bag full of all things beauty- all you need on the day is clean, dry hair and a clean, makeup free face.

THE FUN STUFF

Engagement shoot, hen night, mehndi party, rehearsal dinner- the list goes on!

If you and your I do crew would like to look your very best for all your wedding moments, I am available at a special rate for all your exciting bridal occasions.

THE BIG DAY

Your hotel , home or venue- the choice is yours.

I can happily accommodate up to 8 services within a reasonable time frame (4x hair and makeup or 6x Makeup and 2x hair, etc) . Very early ceremonies and large wedding parties may require a second makeup artist, whom I can happily recommend to you.

After our trial, I will create a schedule for the morning that will be tailor made just for you, as particular styles may require more or less time.

As a guide, if it is just the Bride having hair and makeup, I will usually arrive 3 hours before her departure. For a full wedding party of 4, I like to arrive 6 hours before the car is booked to leave. This includes time for dressing, touch ups and will also take into consideration your photographers schedule. Two brides getting ready together will need to allow around 5 hours for full bridal glam.

RED CARPET EXPERIENCE

Thinking about a change of look? Or perhaps you would just like to have someone on hand to keep your lipstick topped up and your wedding party looking gorgeous. Whatever the reason, I can be available for you from early morning right until the end of your reception, keeping you looking and feeling like a total star.

COFFEE?

Things that I love- caffeine and conversations!

Perhaps you are not one for phone calls, but still have so many questions! If you would like to meet up first to see if we are a good fit, I am available for a quick coffee and chat anytime.
