I recommend arriving with a clean, moisturised face and freshly washed and dried hair to ensure the best results.

What can I do to prepare for my wedding day ?
Preparing for your wedding day involves a few essential steps. Maintaining a consistent skincare routine in the months leading up to the wedding, staying hydrated and keeping stress to a minimum. Additionally, it’s beneficial to schedule any hair treatments or trims a few weeks before the wedding to ensure healthy, manageable hair on the day. During your preview session we can discussing your skincare routine and any specific concerns to make recommendations for radiant bridal skin.
When should the bride schedule her hair and makeup session on the wedding day ?
I recommend scheduling the bride’s hair and makeup session to be completed approximately 1-1.5 hours before the ceremony. This ensures a fresh and flawless look throughout the day and allows time for dressing, any final touch-ups and photos before your ceremony.
What sets bridal hair and makeup apart from everyday styling ?
Bridal hair and makeup are tailored specifically for the bride’s momentous occasion. Unlike everyday styling, bridal looks are meticulously crafted to withstand the emotional moments, varied lighting, and long hours of celebration while highlighting the bride’s natural beauty. The expertise lies not just in creating a stunning look but also in ensuring it lasts flawlessly throughout the day, embodying the bride’s desired style while complementing the wedding theme and attire perfectly.
