Can you accommodate a large bridal party?

What is a trial and why do I need a trial appointment?

A trial is a pre-wedding session where we discuss your vision, try different looks, and finalise the perfect style for your big day. It ensures that you are comfortable with the chosen look and allows us to test and make any necessary adjustments before the big day. I highly recommend a trial appointment for bridal bookings as they are an invaluable opportunity to get to know one another make sure we are a good fit for your special day.

When should I book my trial appointment and what’s involved?

I recommend booking your trial appointment 6-8 weeks before your wedding. This appointment is usually 1.5-3 hours depending on what services you are booking in for. We will discuss and test your desired hair/makeup looks within the allotted time.
Bring along any inspiration photos and accessories to help us understand your overall theme and style.

How do I prepare for my Wedding Day?

Looking after yourself is key to a flawless finish on your wedding day. Get plenty of sleep, drink plenty of water and establish a good skincare routine leading up to your big day.  We can discuss your individual skin care needs in more detail at your trial.
If you plan to colour your hair for your wedding, it’s a good idea to do this before your trial so you can truly see what the final product will look like.
I will send you more thorough preparation notes before the big day.

Do I need my own makeup for touch ups?
