The Bridal Experience

I truly believe there is no better time to enjoy the luxury of a make up artist than on your wedding day. You can finally sit down and enjoy the day you have spent so much time, love and energy 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".

"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 Preview 

​

Your bridal makeup preview should always feel special. Often brides tell me that arriving at their preview makes it all suddenly feel quite real. It also marks the start of your bridal preparation and pampering. The preview is an opportunity for us to meet and ensure that I completely understand your ideal bridal look. I'll ask you to bring inspiration photos and ideas and we can discuss all the other elements of your wedding that will help me design the perfect look that works in harmony with your features and style.

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!

“I HIGHLY recommended Ellie to anyone looking for a makeup artist! She took the time to make sure the look for my wedding day was perfect in our trial, and on the day it absolutely was! Ellie made me feel so comfortable and calm, and I couldn’t have been happier with the makeup on the day.”
