Victoria Oke Makeup

An update from me.

My business is taking a pause for 2025 and 2026.

This is not a 'Goodbye' but for personal reasons, I have decided to take a break.

I wanted to thank all of my lovely Brides and all you lovely people for your support over the last 10 years.

To all of my Brides that have already booked with me for this year, your bookings are secure and I very much looking forward to meeting you all! This is just for future bookings.

Big love to you all and I wish all Wedding Suppliers a wonderful season and huge congratulations to those getting married!

Finally meeting the Queen of makeup

I remember so well my first ever Charlotte Tilbury products I ever got. I believe around 9 years ago, my mam took me to Fenwicks Bond Street as a special treat and bought me Pillow Talk lip liner and Very Victoria Lipstick (as it was my name and I loved VB). A lipstick I still wear most days.

From there on, my love for the brand grew, and I have been using many of her products in my kit for as long as I have been an artist. They are kit staples.

And for the last year, I have been working as an artist at Charlotte Tilbury and getting to meet her was a real wow moment for me.

She was as lovely, warm, engaging and enthusiastic as I had hoped.

A room filled with love, hope, excitement and nerves.....oh and usually lots of bubbles.

We would like to give a very warm welcome to Victoria Oke Makeup as a new supplier with Wedding Maker UK.

Let's see what this is like then. I love Magic Cream so let's give this a whirl....

🌟 WEDDING SUPPLIERS ARE NOT EXPENSIVE! 🌟

We need to stop the narrative that wedding suppliers are expensive. It is not true! ❌

If a supplier is outside of your budget, that does not mean that they are expensive, it means your budget won’t accommodate them.

If you’ve had a quote and you think it’s a lot, have a think about what suppliers have to pay out for and allow for within each quote;

👉🏻 Their time (before, during & after the wedding)
👉🏻 Insurance
👉🏻 Fuel
👉🏻 Rent & Utilities
👉🏻 Staff
👉🏻 Ingredients/Products

Of course, there will always be a cheaper quote out there. Just be sure that the cheaper quote is;

❓ Like for like on products/quality
❓ From an insured company
❓ A trusted supplier with good reviews and reputation

And, suppliers won’t always be within your budget, which is fine and there are things you can do to stretch your budget further;

💞 Be honest and upfront with your suppliers about your budget

💞 Ask if there’s a way to stretch your budget further by tweaking products/ingredients

💞 DIY or ask family/friends to help

Not everyone has the same priorities when it comes to their wedding and it’s completely up to you which aspects of the day you spend more money on.

What you can’t then do is expect a supplier to provide their products/services at a cheaper price to fit in with that.

I hope this is helpful! If you need any further tips, don’t hesitate to ask! 😊
