Things you should Know…
How does pricing work for wedding enquiries? 
Bridal/nearly wed prices start from £400, which includes the price of a trial.
Wedding party/others start from £90 per person.
Due to high demand, weddings that fall on a Saturday and specific peak dates throughout the year have a minimum booking of 3 people OR the cost equivalent.
For more information about my prices, please fill out the contact form and include:
-date of your wedding
-ceremony time
-location (if more than one, please include all)
-number of people
-any other information I might need to know How far in advance should I book?
UK wedding bookings are taken around 12 – 18 months in advance. If you’re getting married on a Saturday and/or during October, I recommend booking ASAP as these are the first dates to go.
International/destination weddings are recommended to book 24 months in advance.
If you’re looking for last minute availability, please contact me as I may be able to accommodate your date! How much is a deposit?
All bookings will be subject to an up front, non-refundable retainer fee to secure the wedding date. This will be calculated at 50% of the total service cost (excluding travel/trials). The retainer fee is mandatory and secures my exclusivity to you for that date. What are your payment terms?
After your non-refundable retainer fee has been paid, the remaining balance (including travel/accommodation costs) will be due 2 weeks before your wedding date.
Trials and associated travel costs are charged as a separate booking and are to be paid on the day of. How far do you travel?
I am based in the West Midlands but I’m happy to travel wherever!
Travel costs are calculated at 65p per mile (round trip) from WV12 postcode plus £15 per hour driving time.
For locations that are 2+ hours away, or a start time of 6am (or earlier) a hotel stay or accommodation will need to be provided the night before. Are you able to do destination weddings?
Absolutely! I'm always up for an adventure.
For further UK locations (Scotland/Northern Ireland) and international locations, I'll fly over. All charges that will need to be covered are listed below:
- To/from the airport including parking costs. Travel is charged at 65p per mile from WV12 or BS5.
- Return flights including hold luggage
- Additional transport to and from hotels and the venue
- Car hire/fuel costs (if applicable)
- Hotel/accommodation
- Additional fee of £75 per day spent travelling (in which I'm unable to take on any other work) How many people can I book for makeup on my wedding day?
I can usually do up to 5 (potentially 6) people by myself, depending on timings.
For larger bridal parties with over 5 guests or a ceremony time prior to 12pm, an additional artist or assistant may be required. Can I book a trial before booking in for the wedding day?
Yes, you can book in for a trial without committing. However, I cannot reserve any dates without a retainer secured. Therefore, there is no guarantee of my availability for your date if you choose to book a trial separately. When should I book a trial?
I recommend having your trial 3 – 6 months prior to your wedding day. Trials are carried out during the week (daytime or evening) and last up to 2 hours. Select weekend dates may become available but will be limited. What happens during a trial?
Trials are a really great way to try a few options if you haven’t decided what you want. I’ll ask you a few questions about your makeup preferences, skin type and concerns, and details of your wedding I.e. colour schemes/overall vibe.
This will allow me to have a better idea of what you want to achieve with your makeup look. It’s also a great opportunity for us to meet and get to know each other so your wedding morning can run as smoothly as possible.
Trials are optional for your wedding party, but necessary for the bride/nearly wed as I won’t go in blind on your wedding day! Do I need to supply any makeup myself?
No, I have a wide variety of products in my kit and I am able to cater to all skin tones, types and textures. However, if there's any products you'd like me to use e.g. your favourite mascara or lipstick, feel free to bring them along! I am vegan or have allergies/sensitivities to certain brands or products, will this be a problem?
Of course not! I carry a variety of different brands in my kit, including vegan/cruelty free products. If there are any brands/products that you know you don’t get along with, just give me a heads up beforehand. I’ll also need to be made aware of any serious allergies upon booking. Can I book on behalf of someone else?
I only take bookings from the bride/nearly wed. If your family are helping with costs, or your wedding party are paying for their own makeup, please have them pay you first! This avoids any confusion and ensures the booking/payment process goes smoothly. Kate did mine and my bridesmaids makeup for my wedding this year. I’ve always been nervous about having my makeup done but she made me feel so comfortable and we all were showered with compliments all day and night! So many laughs and happy tears and the makeup did not budge and was flawless from morning till night! Couldn’t recommend her enough, she’s worth every penny!
