First off, massive congrats on your engagement!

Now comes the exciting part – planning your dream wedding. We know it can feel a tad overwhelming, so let's dive into the fun stuff – choosing your wedding makeup artist. Here are some nuggets of wisdom to make your journey a breeze.

When to Secure Your Makeup Artist

Once you've snagged your dream venue and said 'yes' to the dress, it's time to lock in the rest of your dream team. And let me tell you, when it comes to bridal makeup in Surrey, early birds catch the glam. Booking in advance ensures your chosen artist is available for your big day, avoiding any disappointment if they are already booked. So, if you find a makeup whose vibe resonates with you, don't hesitate – book them in!

The Importance of the Makeup Trial

Picture this: your wedding day, surrounded by love and laughter. To make sure you shine like the star you are, a makeup trial is a must. Whether it's a year or a few months before we can do this. We consider seasonal changes in your skin tone, time of year etc. So we take notes and a photo, so we know exactly what to do on the wedding day. So, on your wedding morning you can sit back, relax, and let the magic happen. Its good not to leave it too close to your wedding day, just so you’ve had the trial and its something to tick off your list.

Why Bother with a Trial?

Your natural look is as unique as your love story, and you don't want to spend your wedding morning in a Q&A session about your makeup preferences. Trust me; a trial is a game-changer. Once you've experienced the magic, your chosen artist – be it me or one of my fantastic team members – will be there to pamper you on your special day.

The Big Morning

Fast forward to the wedding morning – the butterflies, the excitement, and the glam squad ready to roll. We can't wait to be a part of your magical day. Whether you're all about a serene, intimate vibe or you thrive in the midst of music and laughter, your makeup artist should adapt to your unique style. I'm all about making your morning exactly as you envision it – whether it's just you or a whole squad, my team's got you covered.
