Wedding Day Makeup

Bridal Makeup

Packages start from £450

* Includes Bridal Trial Appointment

Looking and feeling fabulous on your wedding day is paramount. With over 28 years’ experience working with brides, I truly understand the importance of flawless bridal makeup. As you will be in the spotlight, looking your best but still like yourself is essential, making sure that you feel radiant from the first look to the end of the night.

Based in Nottinghamshire and regularly working with brides across the Cotswolds, I travel to country houses, barns and private estates to create timeless, flawless bridal looks.

I will remain with you for any final touch ups and photos until you depart for the ceremony. For larger bridal parties a second makeup artist would be required to ensure everyone is camera ready on time.

The Trial

The 2-hour bridal trial takes place at my studio in Cropwell Bishop, Nottinghamshire, usually around one to two months before your wedding day. If preferred I can travel to you for an additional fee or arrange your trial for an earlier date.

During the session I will use a selection of premium products including Mac, Dior and Charlotte Tilbury to design a look that beautifully enhances your natural features and compliments your personal style. The trial is your opportunity to see how the makeup wears throughout the day, ensuring you feel confident and reassured ahead of your special day.

At the trial I will also create a schedule for the wedding day to serve as a guide.

My Bridal makeup service Includes:
