First things first..

What's your style? Are you a boho babe, cool girl next door, red carpet glamour or simplistic and chic (to name a few) When looking for your ideal make up artist get a sense of their style and personality..does it align with yours?

When looking to book your wedding hair and makeup with me there's a few things i need to know

*When are you getting married? and what time!

*Where's your venue, is this different to where you are getting ready?

*What services are you hoping for? Hair and makeup? mums? bridesmaids?

Time to book in!

Ill then send you all the booking info including my T&Cs and payment details.

Bookings are confirmed on receipt of a 30% deposit so don't delay or you risk your date being snapped up.

Now you can put your feet up and scroll Pinterest (well maybe not Pinterest due to damn AI!) to your hearts content gathering all those beautiful hair and make up inspiration pics ahead of your preview

Top Tip! Make sure you look at women of a similar age, skin tone and hair colour/ texture to help get a truer sense of how this style could look on you

Preview time!

Time to trial out those gorgeous styles!

Wedding previews take place up to 6 months prior to your big day at my house in Burnham, Berkshire on Fridays- Sundays during quieter periods. Hair and Make up trials take approx 3 hours, hair or make up 1.5hrs. You are welcome to bring one person with you.

This is also a perfect time to assess your skin care routine and discuss any final details i may need to be aware of in the morning i.e. parking or access arrangements, adding on that extra bridesmaid or needing to add an assistant stylist!

Lets talk timings!

Once details are confirmed ill create a schedule of your morning. Details of timings, when ill arrive and who goes when. I always schedule everyone to be ready an hour before the ceremony (plus any travel time) to ensure there is time for you to put on your dress and relax with a glass of bubbles! Note.. the bride never goes last!

Final details

The final balance is due 3 weeks prior to the wedding, so there's no need to be worrying about outstanding invoices on the day!

Any other questions or queries crop up during the process? No problem, you are welcome to email or text me and ill be more that happy to offer advice and support!
