www.makeupbysian.co.uk I adore weddings and I find myself in the extremely lucky position to be sort after by many brides seeking a little more than the typical bridal style. If I am not in my brand new studio teaching or trialing, you’ll find me styling beautiful weddings in Essex, Suffolk, Kent, London or surrounding areas. I know how important booking your bridal hair and make up is. You’ve spent time picking your dream dress and perfectly paired your accessories, your hair & make up is the final piece of the puzzle. Leaving how you look in someone else’s hands can, understandably, be overwhelming. If you would like to talk more in depth about booking your bridal hair & make up or any other services listed below I invite you to get in touch.

Things that bring me joy make up artist edition ✨
Last one might be my favourite of all time 🥹
Every bride has a story 🤍
This bride planned her entire London wedding in just six weeks!
Emma booked her bridal hair and makeup without a preview, after fewer than ten emails, and trusted me to create a look that felt completely like her on the day.
From getting ready at The Landmark, to saying “I do” at Marylebone Town Hall, before a very glamorous outfit change for the evening celebrations at The Ned, she embraced every moment!
The part that still makes me smile? Before the wedding day had even finished, she’d already left me this beautiful review.
It’s a reminder that there isn’t one “right” way to plan a wedding. Some brides spend years making every decision, while others trust their instincts and create something just as unforgettable.
✨ Every bride has a story. This was
Would you have booked your bridal artist without a preview, or is a trial a non-negotiable for you? I’d genuinely love to know?

Still not over this perfect lakeside wedding with my beautiful bride Sophie Wilkins
Last minute touch ups always
Sophie opted for a rose golden colour palette for her summer wedding make up
What a view 🥹
Back of hair shot. This tussled style was one that worked perfectly with Sophie’s hair colour and texture and that fact it was outside so could withstand (and maybe even improve) with some breeze in the air.
Sophie and her lovely mum who’s make up was done by my team member Sam 🫶🏼
After doing Sophie’s hair and make up for multiple weddings she booked based on my availability - what a compliment! 🫶🏼
Thanks for having me Sophie!
What a dreamy bride 😭🫶🏼

No caption will do my bride justice! The gown, the immaculate energy of the morning, the oozing of her understated bridal era 🔓
Olivia opted to stick to her usual natural look just elevated with this dreamy blowdry styled wave and lightweight, glowy make up. Wow wow wow! Congratulations Olivia 👰🏼♀️💫
There’s something so powerful about a bride who understands that the magic is in the details ✨
This bridal look is the perfect example of modern bridal glam done right. A clean Pammy-inspired updo paired with my signature clean bridal glam makeup, creating that effortless but elevated finish that bride’s dreams of.
What made this look so special wasn’t just one thing… it was every choice working together. The pearl dress, the accessories, the flowers, the softness of the glam, the structure of the hair, everything felt intentional, polished and beautifully balanced.
The hair prep in the months leading up to the wedding was also spot on. The right colour, a great cut, healthy condition and the right prep on the run up make such a difference when creating styles like this. Beautiful bridal hair always starts long before the wedding morning.
The calm atmosphere made the whole morning feel seamless. A beautiful bridal suite, lovely bridesmaids, and a well-planned schedule meant everything flowed exactly as it should; relaxed, luxurious, and stress-free.
For the modern glam bride who wants simplicity but still wants to feel unforgettable… this is your reminder that understated doesn’t mean unnoticed ✨

There’s something so special about being asked back 🤍
Four years ago, I was part of her sister’s wedding morning… and now it’s her turn. Same family, new chapter and just as much love in the room.
These are the moments that mean everything, when my brides become part of my journey, not just one day 🤍
No matter how many weddings I do it is absolutely not wasted on me. Forever grateful to be trusted with memories like this ✨
