BIG NEWS!!

After 20 amazing years in the wedding industry, I’ve decided it’s time for a new chapter.

While this wasn’t an easy decision, I’m choosing to follow a path that allows me to focus more on an exciting new career venture.

All existing wedding bookings will be honoured, and I’ll continue to respond to enquiries over the next month. After that, I won’t be taking on new wedding bookings.

I’ll still be offering hair and makeup appointments from my home studio for special occasions, along with group makeup lessons.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the last 20 years. I’m incredibly grateful for every client, booking and recommendation.

Here’s to what’s next. More to come soon. ✨

🪷 4 reasons to have a wedding morning schedule! 🪷

You might think having a strict time schedule would take the relaxed feel out of the morning, but I'm here to tell you why it helps to CREATE that relaxed feeling. Read on to find out how...

No.1 It keeps everyone on time and shows clearly who needs to be in the chair and for which service. No chasing people around!

No.2 It gives a guide as to how long each service takes. Some of the wedding party may have longer/thicker hair, some may want more or less makeup applied, but having a guide per service means everyone gets enough time in the chair

No. 3 It shows other suppliers i.e your photographer what time you will all be ready for those pre ceremony pics!

This helps them focus on other aspects and know exactly when to be back with you for those beautiful reveal shots!

No. 4 It's one less thing for you to worry about. When everyone has a guide of what they're doing and when, it stops everyone floating about not knowing what to do and gives some gentle structure to the morning. Leaving you to sit back and enjoy a pamper!

So really, having a wedding morning schedule is the best way for everyone to keep calm, relaxed and focused on enjoying the rest of the day!

I create your persoanlised wedding morning schedule in the 6 weeks leading up to your wedding, so you have plenty of time to share it with everyone who needs to know.

Save this post for later or share it with someone who needs orgnaising!

🖤 I'm glad they didn't book me🖤

Not every bride is my bride, and honestly, that’s a good thing.

Every now and then, I’ll hear from someone who decides to go with another artist because they found a cheaper quote, and that’s completely fine.

Your wedding morning isn’t just about makeup or hair. It’s about connection, calmness and feeling safe enough to be utterly yourself. That level of trust and comfort is where the magic happens. It’s why I do what I do.

So if you’re choosing your artist for your wedding day, listen to your instinct. Choose the people who make you feel calm, confident, and authentically you.

I don't want you to book me because I'm the cheapest option, I want you to book me because you connect with what I can provide you.

🪷 I’ve got long thick hair, will it last? 🪷

If you're blessed with long, thick hair and aren't sure how best to wear it on your wedding day, let me introduce the mermaid braid!

This is the perfect combination of many different styles. It holds it's shape, you don't have to worry about curls dropping, you won't get too hot, it frames your face without being too heavy, and can be accessorised in so many different ways.

Don't have long thick hair but love this style? Fear not! Nothing a few clip in extensions and some hair padding wouldn't be able to fix 😉

Save for your perfect wedding day style.
