BRINGING A SENSE OF calm TO YOUR wedding morning
You may have already been a bridesmaid and felt that last-minute panic, when nobody knows what to do next. Dresses still need steaming (how does a steamer even work?!), no one knows when to get dressed and the bouquet stems are still wet… this is the kind of chaos I help you avoid!
When you book me, you're not just booking an artist, you're investing in a wedding professional who knows how to remain grounded and calm throughout, while offering gentle guidance to your bridal party and ensuring we stick to the timeline as best as possible - allowing you to relax and enjoy the getting ready process.
Get ready to feel more beautiful than ever on the biggest day of your life!
You'll never be photographed more than on your wedding day and I'm here to make sure you look sensational both in real life and on camera (including flash photography and 4K video)...and yes, it's going to last!
Your wedding morning is one of the most emotionally charged times so it's important to choose an artist who can keep you calm and grounded while creating your dream look. Your glam team will help set the tone for your big day. As a bridal expert who's worked hundreds of weddings, I know the intricacies of a wedding morning and you'll want someone helpful and willing to jump in when the bridesmaids have forgotten to dry the bouquet stems, or your mum's nerves made her hands too shaky to button up your dress. Need safety pins? I've got them. Scissors for dress tags? My most requested item!
I'll be there to help you with little last minute things but I also know exactly when to step back and let you have your moment with your loved ones. You'll be able to relax completely and enjoy the process - after all, getting ready is half the fun.
On average, I spend around six hours on-site on a wedding morning, often alongside a support artist to ensure everything runs seamlessly and everyone is ready with time to spare.
If you value quality, you’ll appreciate that I’m not going to rush through your look, as perfection takes time and a well-orchestrated morning avoids any last-minute mayhem.
With my carefully planned timeline, you’ll have time for that last sip of bubbly and a proper moment to see yourself in a full-length mirror (as a whole bride!) before taking the most meaningful walk of your life to marry your best friend.
The Vibe
REFINED STYLE
If you love natural, radiant makeup and soft, effortlessly elegant hairstyles then we're a great match! I work with your individual features to enhance your unique beauty and leave you feeling the most beautiful and confident you've ever felt! You'll look amazing both in person and on camera.
CALM APPROACH
Each person who sits in my chair gets individual attention and a consultation before we begin, this includes your bridal party members. You won't find copy-paste looks or assembly lines here, just tailored beauty with a refined touch.
As one of my brides, you can be sure the lead up to your wedding will feel calm and organised - I've got a booking management system in place and you'll never be left wondering whether or not I'll be there on the day.
