WEDDINGS
I love weddings and the variety that they bring, from the big extravagant weddings to small and intimate ones. I provide a first class service tailored to each individual client and their needs.
A wedding day is one of the most important days for any bride and I feel honoured to be part of the bride’s special day making them and their bridal party look and feel just how they imagined.
What I can offer
I provide hair and makeup to brides, bridesmaids, mother of the bride/ groom, flower girls and more. For beauty treatments leading up to the big day I can provide all these for any member of the bridal party.
For a full list of beauty treatments I provide, please visit my beauty page. These can be booked with a bridal package or separately. As weddings can be expensive, I have put together some packages that provide a discount. Please visit my prices page to see the list of packages.
Products I use
I use a wide range of brands and products which I tailor for each individuals skin type. I use a specific airbrush application technique for applying a bride’s base makeup using Airbase makeup. However I do also use a traditional method if the airbase application technique is not wanted.
Airbase contains:
Silicone, which is heat-resistant, non-stick and pliable,
Vitamin A, proven to improve the elasticity of the skin and therefore reducing fine lines and wrinkles and
Vitamin E, an anti-oxidant that moisturises and repairs the skin.
By using the airbrush makeup application you can achieve a flawless finish within minutes and does not make you feel or look caked in makeup, but leaves a naturally flawless complexion. It lasts at least 12 hours and there is no need for touch ups throughout the day/ night.
It is a favourite technique used within the TV and film industry, due to its silicone element as it can withstand the heat of set lighting for example. There are also hygiene benefits to airbrushing, as it avoids the potential spread of bacteria and germs across the face that you have by using a conventional brush.
Hair and Makeup Trials
Just like your search for your perfect wedding dress, all Hair and Makeup Artists will advise you to have a trial to create the perfect look you want for your big day. I would advise to have a hair and makeup trial roughly 10-12 weeks prior to your wedding day. Trials can take place either at your home or another location.
I advise you to bring some photos of the hair and makeup styles that you would like to try. Sometimes the look you envisage is not always possible or you find you don’t like it and although this is disappointing, this is the reason why I strongly advise on a trial so that on the day of your wedding you are 100% happy with your hair and makeup.
I also advise you to bring any hair pieces that you are looking to wear on the day so that we can incorporate these into your hairstyle.
At the trial we will choose the best lipstick for the day and I would recommend you to purchase a lipstick similar to the one we use for you to reapply during the day.
At your trial we will discuss the wedding day timings and agree a start and finish time that will allow me to undertake all hair and makeup services you have booked for.
The Wedding day
I will travel to you at the destination where you are getting ready, whether this is at the venue itself, your home or a local hotel. I will arrive at a start time that we will have already arranged.
I will have scheduled to finish an hour before you need to leave for the wedding ceremony for you to get into your dress, final touches and photos.
The only requirements I ask is for at both your trial and on the wedding day is a chair, that is comfortable for you to sit on for an extended length of time, a table for my hair and makeup kit and natural light.
