THE EXPERIENCE
Your wedding morning should feel calm, exciting and completely effortless. From your first enquiry to the moment you walk down the aisle, I am here to guide you through every step of the journey, creating beautiful, timeless hair and makeup while ensuring you feel relaxed, confident and truly yourself.
Every bridal booking is fully tailored, carefully planned and supported from enquiry to the aisle
01. Enquire
The first step is to complete my enquiry form and tell me all about your wedding day.
I’d love to hear about your vision, your venue, your bridal style, your wedding party and everything you’ve been dreaming of for your day.
I personally respond to every enquiry with availability and pricing information. Even if I am unavailable for your date, I will always let you know so you’re never left wondering.
Once you’re ready to proceed, a booking fee will secure your wedding date in my diary.

02. Your Bridal Preview
Once your date is secured, it’s time for one of the most exciting parts of the journey – your Bridal Preview.
Held in my private bridal studio, this relaxed and personalised appointment allows us to explore every detail of your wedding look together.
A makeup-only or hair-only preview is allocated up to two hours, while a combined hair and makeup preview is allocated up to four hours, giving us plenty of time to create and refine your perfect look.
During your appointment we’ll discuss:
Your wedding vision and overall aesthetic
Your venue and wedding morning plans
Your dress, accessories and veil
Your inspiration images
Your bridal party and their requirements
How your hair and makeup will complement every aspect of your day
Most importantly, how your look will feel authentically you
Together we’ll create your chosen hair and makeup look before making any refinements needed until you’re completely happy.
Once perfected, your look is photographed for reference and every detail is meticulously recorded on your personal face chart and bridal notes, which I bring with me on your wedding day to ensure complete consistency.

03. The Preparation
Following your Bridal Preview, I take care of the finer details behind the scenes.
Using the information gathered during your appointment, along with my experience of wedding mornings and venue logistics, I create a bespoke wedding morning schedule tailored specifically to your day.
Your schedule is carefully planned to allow plenty of time for:
Hair and makeup services
Dressing
Photography
Veil fitting
Final touch-ups
Quiet moments to relax and enjoy the morning
You’ll receive all remaining invoice and payment information, and I will create a personalised inspiration board to keep every detail aligned with your vision.
From this point onward, I’m always available to answer questions, offer advice and provide support whenever you need it.

04. Wedding Day
When your wedding day arrives, you can relax knowing every detail has already been carefully planned.
I arrive with plenty of time to set up at your chosen location and create a calm, organised atmosphere for the morning ahead.
With years of wedding experience, I understand that my role extends far beyond hair and makeup.
Throughout the morning I am there to support you however I can, whether that’s helping to keep the schedule running smoothly, assisting with getting dressed, steaming a dress in an emergency, drying bouquets, or simply providing a calm and reassuring presence when emotions begin to build.
My professional emergency kit is always on hand and includes essentials such as sewing supplies, body tape, stain remover, safety pins, tissues, mints and many other wedding-day lifesavers.
Unlike many artists, I remain with you right up until it’s time to walk down the aisle.
This allows time for any final adjustments, touch-ups after emotional moments, securing your veil perfectly and ensuring every detail is flawless before you leave for your ceremony.
You’ll also receive a complimentary bridal touch-up kit, including your lip colour and carefully selected essentials to keep you looking and feeling your best throughout the day.
When it’s finally time to walk down the aisle, you’ll do so feeling confident, beautiful and completely yourself.
“Thank you so, so much for Saturday!
You did the most amazing job and made us girls genuinely feel the best we’ve ever felt!!! You were the nicest people to have around on the wedding morning and the most amazing, calming presence and professional attitude to the whole thing. Can you send me a list of the products used? I’m genuinely obsessed!”

“With hundreds of wedding mornings behind me, I understand that beautiful hair and makeup is only part of my role. Creating a calm, seamless experience that allows you to feel completely present, relaxed and taken care of as you prepare to walk down the aisle is just as important.”
Frequently Asked Questions
-
I recommend booking as soon as you've secured your venue and date. Most brides reserve their wedding hair and makeup 12-18 months in advance, particularly for peak season dates across the Midlands and Cotswolds. Once your booking is confirmed, your date is exclusively reserved for you and your bridal party.
-
A bridal preview is always recommended, as it gives us the opportunity to refine every detail of your wedding look and ensure you feel completely confident ahead of your big day.
That said, it's not always possible. Some of my brides live overseas, have demanding schedules, or are travelling back shortly before their wedding. I've worked with brides who have booked based on my portfolio, experience and reputation alone, and we've created beautiful bridal looks without a traditional trial.
If an in-person preview isn't practical, we can arrange a virtual consultation to discuss your vision, inspiration, dress, styling, skin concerns and wedding plans in detail. This allows us to get to know each other and create a clear plan for your wedding morning.
While a trial is always encouraged where possible, it isn't absolutely essential to achieving a beautiful, personalised bridal look.
-
Yes. I use luxury professional products and techniques specifically chosen for bridal hair and makeup, ensuring your look remains beautiful, comfortable and camera-ready throughout the day.
From emotional ceremonies and endless photographs to windy days, dancing late into the evening and everything in between, longevity is always a priority when creating your bridal look.
Many of my brides comment in their testimonials that their hair and makeup lasted through happy tears, unpredictable weather and a full evening on the dance floor. You can read more about their experiences on my testimonials page.
-
Of course. I regularly work with bridal parties of all sizes and can arrange additional trusted artists when required. This allows everyone to enjoy a calm, organised and enjoyable morning while maintaining the same high standard of service throughout.
-
Without question. My approach is centred around creating elevated, polished versions of my brides rather than heavily transformed looks. The goal is for you to feel confident, beautiful and completely comfortable when you look in the mirror, while still recognising yourself.
-
Absolutely. Most brides come to me with inspiration images rather than a fully formed vision, and that's completely normal.
Drawing on my experience, I'll help guide you towards styles that complement your features, dress, wedding aesthetic and personal style. Together we'll create a look that feels elevated, timeless and, most importantly, like the very best version of you.
