I like to see photos and general ideas of everything from your dress to your wedding flowers, shoes and jewellery before a bridal hair and makeup consultation. And most importantly photos of yourself that you love. I like to get to know my brides and what you are after – everyone has a different idea of perfect – that way we create an authentic look that is not only you – but you living your best day.

When it comes to bridal makeup, there is no specific look. It simply means that as a bride, you want your makeup done for your wedding day. Each person has their own individual style and some are used to wearing more makeup than others. The term bridal makeup does not necessarily mean there is one fixed look. When you meet your makeup artist, discuss the look you want that is specific to you and what you’re comfortable with. You want to enhance your features and feel confident with your makeup.

When choosing a bridal hairstyle, it’s important to consider your gown and face shape. Discussing options with your hairstylist and having a trial can help you feel comfortable and beautiful on your wedding day.

The key to long-lasting wedding makeup is a solid skincare routine beforehand, including moisturising, cleansing, and hydration. On the day of the wedding, ensure your makeup artist uses a good primer, setting spray, and finishing powder. Touch-ups and more powder can be added before they leave. With a professional makeup artist and quality products, your makeup should not melt off.

When choosing a wedding hair and makeup artist, consider their experience level. More experience means a higher price, typically ranging from $120 to $180 per person for makeup and $120 to $180 for hair styling. It’s recommended to choose an experienced artist who is familiar with working with brides and can provide support and ensure a smooth morning.
