QUESTIONS ASKED BY BRIDES...
Where does the trial run take place and do I need to bring anything with me?
The trial run takes place at my hair and makeup studio in Long Ashton, Bristol. I can of course advise on makeup and hair styles but it’s a good idea to bring a few images along with you as well. It’s very relaxed and there is plenty of time to talk through the details. I like to get as many details about the wedding as possible, such as the dress, accessories, flowers and wedding venue etc, as this informs the style we might go for.
I am very experienced and intuitive and listen carefully to your ideas to ensure you are completely happy with the final look. If you have chosen a hair accessory or veil, you are welcome to bring it along, but it is not essential. I can advise on the best hair accessory or flowers to work with your hair style.
At the trial we chat about timings and then I send you a detailed schedule for the morning of the wedding day.
How long does the trial last?
Most trials take around 3 hours but there is no time limit. The trial ends when you are completely happy with your look.
What products do you use?
I use a variety of different brands, such as Bobbi Brown, Chanel, Clinique, Benefit, Laura Mercier, Nars, By Terry, Urban Decay, MAC, Dermalogica, Becca, Dior, Neals Yard, Paul Mitchell, L’Oreal and Bumble & Bumble. If you have a favourite product that you love, and would like to incorporate into the makeup design, please feel free to bring it along to the trial.
I have a large bridal party, will there be enough time to get everyone ready on the wedding day?
I always allow plenty of time to get everyone ready on the morning of the wedding. If you are planning a large bridal party, I can book one of my talented and experienced stylists to support on the day.
Will there be any additional costs?
A travel or parking cost is sometimes added, depending on the location of your wedding. At the trial, you may decide you would like hair extensions for length and/or volume. These will be added to the final price.
Will my makeup last all day?
As a professional makeup artist, I have a deep knowledge of the best products to use with lasting results. The way the products are applied can ensure your wedding makeup stays perfect all day. I advise keeping a lipstick with you on the wedding day for top ups.
