How it works:
From the moment you secure your booking right through to the finishing touch before you walk down the aisle, my aim is to make the whole experience calm, seamless, and memorable. Here’s how it works when you choose to work with me (or one of my artists):
Securing Your Date
Once you’re ready to book, a 25% deposit secures your wedding date in my diary. From this point, your day is officially reserved, and you can relax knowing you’re in safe hands.
A Warm Welcome
After your deposit has cleared, you’ll receive:
- A booking confirmation
- My terms & conditions
- Helpful guidance on next steps and how to prepare for your trial
Stay Connected
I’ll keep in touch to ensure you feel supported throughout. This includes:
- Skincare and haircare tips in the lead-up.
- Advice on how to prepare for your trial
- Flexibility to adjust any booking details if needed
Preparing For Trial
Before your trial, I’ll ask you to send me:
- A natural photo of yourself without makeup
- A photo of you with hair & makeup done (from an event or night out where you felt beautiful)
- A few reference images of your dream bridal look
Keeping inspiration clear and focused helps us create the perfect version for you.
Your Trial Experience
Trials are usually held around 8–12 weeks before the wedding.
Where:
- With me: trials are typically held at my home (I can offer very local call-outs).
- With one of my artists: trials are held at a location of your choice and arranged directly with them.
When:
- Trials are usually during the week, Monday–Friday between 9am and 3pm.
- Weekend slots are very limited, as Saturdays are wedding days and Sundays are my family day — though I’ll always try my best to accommodate.
Timings:
- Hair OR Makeup trial: up to 2 hours
- Hair & Makeup trial: up to 3.5 hours
What happens:
- We’ll create one version of your chosen look, with scope for subtle tweaks.
- We won’t run through completely different full styles, but instead refine one look until it feels perfect.
- I take plenty of photos and video clips in natural daylight so you can see your look from every angle.
- After your trial, you’ll get direct WhatsApp access to me, where you’ll receive a special AI mock-up image. **This won’t be your exact dress, but a bridal gown and styled background will give you a keepsake and a clearer vision of how your finished look will come together on the big day.
Final Balance
The final balance is due 2 weeks before your wedding day.
- Payments can be made by bank transfer in advance.
- With prior agreement, you are also welcome to pay in cash on the day (arranged with me or directly with your artist if you’re working with someone from my team).
Bespoke Wedding Morning
To create a personalised timeline for your morning, I’ll ask in advance for:
- A reference photo of each bridal party member
- Their chosen hairstyle and/or makeup style
- Confirmation of lashes (strip or cluster) if required
This allows my team and me to plan timings perfectly so that everyone feels relaxed and the morning runs smoothly.
Typical timings:
- Makeup: 45 minutes – 1 hour per person
- Hair: 45 minutes – 1.5 hours per person
Your Wedding Morning
On the day itself, you can expect:
- My arrival in plenty of time to set up
- A calm, well-organised schedule
- Beautiful hair and makeup for you and your bridal party
- Final touch-ups before you step out for photos and make your way down the aisle.
Optional Extras
To make your bridal experience even more special, I also offer a range of luxury add-ons, such as:
- Bridal Morning Content Creation (mini film of your morning)
- On-hand touch-ups throughout the day
- Second look or evening glam styling
- Guest beauty station at your reception
