Every bridal booking is designed as a complete luxury experience rather than simply a makeup appointment.
Your booking includes:
A personalised bridal preview trial
Luxury skin preparation tailored to your skin
Bespoke bridal makeup designed around your features, dress and overall wedding aesthetic
Premium lashes if desired
Long-wearing products chosen to photograph beautifully and last throughout the day
Final touch-ups before you leave for your ceremony
My goal isn’t simply to create beautiful makeup, it is to create timeless photographs that you’ll still love in twenty years.
-
Yes. Every bride begins with a personalised bridal preview.
During the appointment, we discuss your dress, hairstyle, flowers, jewellery, colour palette, skincare, inspiration images and personal style before creating your bridal look together.
The preview gives us the opportunity to refine every detail so that on your wedding morning there are no surprises, only excitement.
-
I believe your wedding booking should feel clear and stress-free.
The process is simple:
We book your bridal preview (trial) appointment.
A 50% non-refundable deposit secures your bridal preview.
After your preview, if you’re completely happy to proceed, a separate 50% wedding booking deposit secures your wedding date.
Once your wedding deposit has been received, your date is officially reserved in my diary and your pricing is locked in, protecting you from any future price increases.
The remaining balance is due one day before your wedding. This allows you to enjoy your wedding day completely stress-free, without having to think about payments or any last-minute administration.
-
How far in advance should I book?
Most of my brides secure their wedding makeup between 12 and 24 months before their wedding, particularly for Fridays and Saturdays during peak wedding season.
If your wedding falls between May and September, I always recommend booking as early as possible, as availability becomes very limited.
However, you may be luckier than you think. If you are planning things at the last minute or have a date that’s come together unexpectedly, don’t hesitate to reach out. Every so often, a last minute availability appears in my diary, and I’d love to help if the timings work.
-
Absolutely.
Although only the bride is required to have a bridal preview, bridesmaids, mothers of the bride and mothers of the groom are very welcome to book a trial if they’d like one.
These appointments usually last around two hours and are ideal for anyone who would like to explore different makeup options before the wedding day.
-
Yes.
I regularly travel throughout the UK and also welcome international destination weddings.
Travel and accommodation are quoted individually depending on your wedding location, travel requirements and schedule.
-
Yes, where possible.
Tattoo cover-up is offered as a separate service because every tattoo is different. The best approach depends on its size, colours and placement.
Some tattoos require specialist products and techniques used within film and television makeup, particularly if the area is exposed or likely to come into contact with clothing.
A photograph of the tattoo is always required before providing a quotation.
-
My philosophy is built around timeless beauty rather than trends.
Every face has its own natural balance and harmony. Rather than masking your features, I enhance them using techniques inspired by proportion, light, structure and what I call The Divine Ratio.
The result is elegant, modern makeup that feels like the very best version of you, beautiful both in person and in photographs, without ever feeling overdone.
