Most brides have a makeup trial... or at least I thought they did! 🤭

After looking back through previous years, I realised that around 30% of my brides actually skip their trial. And honestly, there are a few good reasons why.

✨ Cost
Weddings come with a big price tag, and sometimes the budget needs to be allocated elsewhere. If you’re comfortable skipping a trial, that’s completely fine. I can always book a call to discuss your vision, preferences and all the important details.

✨ Time & Travel
Mudgee is a destination wedding location for many of my brides, and travelling back and forth while planning a wedding can be a lot. Some simply don’t have the time to fit in a trial and are happy to trust me to create their look on the day.

✨ Simple Makeup Goals
Brides wanting a natural, timeless look may feel a trial isn’t necessary, especially if they already know what they like.

✨ Experience with Professional Makeup
Some brides regularly have their makeup done and have a good understanding of what suits their features, skin type and personal style.

While makeup trials can be incredibly helpful for refining your look and making sure we’re completely aligned, they’re absolutely optional. Every bride is different, and not having a trial is a perfectly valid choice too 🫶🏻

Are you someone who would never skip a trial, or would you be happy to trust your artist on the day? ✨

Winter weddings have a quiet kind of magic. Crisp air, soft light, and cozy moments create an atmosphere that feels both elegant and intimate. From candlelit receptions to rich seasonal florals and luxurious textures, winter offers a beautiful backdrop for celebrating love. There’s something unforgettable about gathering with your favourite people on a cool winter’s day, creating warmth, connection, and memories that will last a lifetime. Winter weddings are timeless, romantic, and effortlessly enchanting ❄️
