Frequently Asked Questions
-
Most brides book 12-18 months in advance, especially for peak wedding season which tends to be the summer months. I always recommend securing your date as soon as possible.
-
Your date is confirmed once your deposit of £100 has been paid and you have received your booking confirmation.
-
Yes I do. My minimum bridal party requirement is 3. Otherwise there is a supplement of £50.
-
A trial isn’t essential, but I do highly recommend having one. This way, we can perfect your look and you can feel completely relaxed and confident on the day.
-
I will be in touch in the January of your wedding year to encourage you to start thinking of a date for your trial. If you want one sooner, this can be discussed when booking. I always suggest tying your trial in with another event so you can enjoy the makeup and see how it wears.
-
Trials are held at my place of work in Chesterfield. I allow 2 hours for your trial. This allows for lots of time to chat about your likes and dislikes. It also allows for changes to be made. It is a gorgeous relaxed environment and you should enjoy the experience!
-
I typically take 45-60 minutes per person depending on the look. When timing the wedding morning…I always take an hour off the ceremony time and then allow an hour per person. This means we have a buffer for natural pauses during the morning. This also allows for enough time for you to get into your dress without rushing. Consider these timings when booking your ceremony time (can be quite an early start)
-
I will not leave you until you are in your dress and 100% ready to get married. I can do any top ups in this time. If you feel you may be particularly emotional during the ceremony, I can stay up to 2 additional hours. This can be negotiated and included in your final cost.
-
Yes. I work with some wonderful makeup artists. Additional artists can be arranged to accommodate larger bridal parties.
-
I specialise in natural, modern makeup - think you, but elevated and bridal. You’ll still feel like yourself, just the very best version!! Your makeup will be flawless and long lasting without ever feeling heavy or cakey.
-
Yes. Everything is tailored for longevity. All of the products and techniques used have been tested and developed over years of experience. I have had some brides send me a photo the morning after, still with full makeup (I don’t recommend) but it’s a great test!!!!
-
Absolutely. I have a luxury kit that holds a large range of products to suit all skin types and tones.
-
Yes. I will travel to wherever you are getting ready in the morning. I will include the cost of my travel in your quote. If the journey from my home address to your venue is more than 2 hours then accommodation must be provided the night before.
If there is a change of getting ready venue during the morning - sometimes you can’t get into your wedding venue until later in the morning - an additional fee of £30 is added to the quote. This covers time and travel.
-
Keep skincare simple. Don’t try anything new too close to the wedding date, especially the night before. Stay Hydrated!! If you have specific skincare that you like to use, make sure you have this with you on the day.
-
If you need to cancel up to 4 weeks before your wedding date, your £100 deposit would be retained as it is non-refundable.
Cancellations made within 4 weeks of the wedding date will require the full balance to be paid.
