Your Bridal Details 

I truly believe there is no better time to enjoy the luxury of a makeup artist than on your wedding day. You can finally sit down and enjoy the day you have spent so much time, love and energy on planning. I like to make sure that my makeup feels like an experience, from the minute you get in touch, to the moment your head hits the pillow after you say "I do".

Looking after you

When you book me, you're not just securing your makeup artist for the day. I pride myself on being there for my brides throughout their planning journey. ​

You'll have access to your very own private bridal portal, where we can message directly, share inspiration images, and keep everything related to your special day in one calm, organised space. ​I'll share my thoughtfully written guides created just for my brides, offering gentle support around things from makeup and beyond = sharing my insights from being part of so many beautiful weddings, and understanding what really helps make your day run smoothly. 

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel".

Your Bridal Makeup Trial  

Your bridal makeup trial should always feel like a special moment. Arriving can make it suddenly start to feel quite real. It also marks the start of your bridal preparation and pampering, and offers a space to slow down and enjoy being looked after. 

 

Before your appointment, you'll receive my bridal trial preparation guide, to help you gather inspiration, understand what you're drawn to and how to prepare, so that you arrive feeling confident and ready.  Your trial is a relaxed, unrushed appointment where we will explore ideas together, adjusting and refining your look as we go, shaping something that feels comfortable and completely you.

On the big day, from the moment Ellie arrived it felt less like having a supplier there and more like having a calm, supportive friend on such an overwhelming, emotional day. She has such a reassuring presence and completely put me at ease when I was nervous - something I’ll always be grateful for.

On the day

Your Wedding Day is here! It might be an early start. You might not have had much sleep. But don't worry, it's all under control. I'll have arrived nice and early to get set up. We'll have agreed a schedule, along with your hair stylist, so that you and your bridal party know exactly when and where you need to be. We'll start by prepping your skin so that its the perfect base for the rest of your make up. Your makeup will be expertly applied and set so that it looks fresh and perfect well into the late hours. I'll also provide you with a personalised touch up kit just in case you want to refresh throughout the day.  So many of my brides tell me that when they sit in my chair, a wave of calm washes over them. In fact, the only thing you need to worry about is who is going to open the bottle of bubbles!
