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.

I will also prepare a makeup schedule for your destination wedding to ensure everything runs smoothly once I'm there.    Please do get in touch for a personalised quote for your big day!

What about the trial?

Accepted Answer

Trials take place during the week at my home studio in Bristol, weekends and bank holidays are reserved for weddings. Trials usually take between 1.5 - 2 hours.    If you are based outside of the UK, I can arrange to arrive a day or two prior to your wedding date in order to complete your trial.

I recommend we book in your trial 2 - 6 months prior to your wedding date.   Trials take between 1.5 - 2 hours so please allow plenty of time.

Question 5

Do I need to bring anything to my trial?

Accepted Answer

I encourage you to wear something to your trial 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 do come armed with images of styles you would like to try out. Create a Pinterest board and get pinning!   I also love to see photos of your dress / outfit and anything else that will help us to imagine how the final look will come together.

Question 6

Do you do trials for the wedding party as well?

Accepted Answer

Of course! I'm more than happy to offer trials to anyone in your wedding party to have a practice run of their makeup for your wedding day!   Wedding party trials are £50 per person and must be booked for the same day as your trial.

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 50 - 60 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

Do you have a minimum booking requirement?

Accepted Answer

Due to high demand, a minimum booking total of £365 in 2022 and £395 in 2023 (excluding travel & accommodation expenses), this applies to all weekend wedding bookings from April 1st - October 31st and throughout December.   Bookings that do not reach the minimum on peak dates will still be charged at the equivalent minimum cost.   Bank holdiays are classed as peak.

Question 9

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 drop me an email or give me a call and I'll send over all the deets!
