What’s next?
Book a Trial
Let’s discuss your personal requirements and meet for a trial, so we can create your desired Hair and Makeup look (at least 2 months prior to your wedding day).
I always recommend Bride’s to invite at least one member of their family or Bridal party to the Trial. This helps having an extra set of eyes from those that love you when making your final decisions on your Wedding Day look.
Bridal Party
I will provide Hair & Makeup for a bridal party of up to 6 people, including the Bride. If your bridal party exceeds this amount, I can hire an experienced assistant to join me on the day.
Consultations will be completed with all members of your bridal party on the day of your wedding. Or they are also welcome to book a trial in advance.
Reception Hair & Makeup
You can book me for a full day or an additional evening makeup service. This may be if you wish to update or change your look throughout your wedding. Please check with your venue that there will be a private room for us to do this.
