Question 2

I'm getting married abroad, do you travel outside of the UK?

Accepted Answer

How exciting! As an adventurer at heart, I absolutely love a destination wedding!
 
Organising a makeup artist for your wedding abroad can seem like a daunting task. That's why I will organise all of my own flights, visa, travel, car hire, accommodation and kit, so you don't need to stress about any of that!
 
I will also prepare a makeup schedule for your destination wedding to ensure everything runs smoothly once I'm there.

Question 3

What about the trial?

Accepted Answer

Bridal consultations are available during the off-peak season on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at my home studio in Bristol. Please note, weekends and bank holidays are reserved exclusively for weddings. Trials typically last between 1.5 to 2 hours.

If your wedding is abroad, I can arrange to arrive a day or two before your wedding to complete your makeup consultation.

Question 4

When should I book in my trial?

Accepted Answer

I operate on a two-month booking system and will contact you at the right time with a link to view my calendar and schedule your appointment!

Question 5

Do I need to bring anything to my trial?

Accepted Answer

I encourage you to wear something in a similar colour and neckline as your wedding outfit, this will really help us to visualise how your makeup will look on the day!
 
I love to see your inspiration for your look so please share images of styles you would like to try out.

I also love to see photos of your dress / outfit and any other details that will help us to imagine how the final look will come together.

Question 6

Do you offer makeup trials for the wedding party as well?

Accepted Answer

Due to high demand, I prioritise bridal makeup trials and therefore I’m unable to offer trials for the wedding party. Your bridal party are welcome to browse my Instagram or website to get a feel for my style and find inspiration ahead of the day. I always do a mini consultation with each person before we start their makeup to chat through their preferences, likes/dislikes, and the look they’d love to achieve.

Question 7

How long will you need on the wedding morning?

Accepted Answer

My aim is to ensure your wedding morning runs as smoothly as possible! This is where having a makeup schedule is super important and is something that I will prepare for all of my wedding clients.
 
Typically I allocate 45 minutes per wedding party makeup, with 1 hour - 1 hour 15 minutes for the bride. We will run through the schedule together at your trial to ensure we're on the same page with start & finish times.

Question 8

How many people can you manage on the wedding morning?

Accepted Answer

If you have a large wedding party, it's not a problem! I may need to bring one or more additional artists along to assist me on the wedding morning.

One or more assistant artists will be required for the following bookings:
- Where more than five adult makeup services are required
- Where the venue has access time restrictions
- Where the required makeup services are unable to be completed within a specific timeframe

Question 9

Do you have a minimum booking requirement?

Accepted Answer

A minimum booking total of £605 applies to all wedding bookings (excluding travel & accommodation expenses)
 
Bookings that do not reach the minimum will still be charged at the equivalent minimum cost.

Question 10

How do I secure my wedding date in your diary?

Accepted Answer

A booking is secure once a non-refundable booking fee of £100 has been paid.
 
The booking fee covers the reservation of the date and any administrative costs related to supplying makeup services.
 
This booking fee is non-refundable and non-transferable. It will be deducted from the outstanding balance which is due 4 weeks before your wedding date.

Due to high demand I am unable to hold any wedding dates in my diary and the date will remain open to other enquiries until the booking fee has been paid.

If you would like to proceed with your booking you can do so via the link included in your quote email.
