WHAT IS THE MOST MEMORABLE WEDDING YOU HAVE EVER WORKED ON, & WHAT MADE IT SO SPECIAL?

I had the joy of doing the hair and makeup for one of my lovely friend’s and her bridal party. It’s lovely to be trusted to be a part of the day and their day was so beautiful and really embodied them as a couple!

IF YOU COULD BE A PART OF A CELEBRITY WEDDING, WHO WOULD IT BE & WHY?

Selena Gomez, she just seems like such a down to earth genuine person and would be a joy to work with.

WHAT UNUSUAL OR UNIQUE REQUESTS HAVE YOU RECEIVED FROM COUPLES, AND HOW DID YOU MAKE THEM HAPPEN?

I don’t think I’ve had any unusual requests as such before. The most unique may be for a bright blue eye look. I think you want to feel like you and if there is a certain look that makes you feel your most confident go for it! Don’t think is it not bridal enough it’s you!

WHICH WEDDING TREND ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY LOVING RIGHT NOW, & WHY DO YOU THINK IT IS SO POPULAR?

I’m loving soft waves and the soft neutral makeup. They never fail to create beautiful timeless wedding looks. I think they are popular as this style enhances the natural beauty of the bride. I have also had a few requests for boho style braids and I am absolutely obsessed with these! Think Rapunzel vibes! They look so effective and give a little bit of a princess vibe!

TOP TIP

In terms of timing trust in us. As a makeup artist I create a timeline for hair and makeup on the morning to ensure that you have plenty of time to get ready on the morning. Take the time on the morning to just take it all in and enjoy. Also don’t think too much about what could go wrong on the day. You sometimes find if there is any little unexpected details that they make the day more memorable in the best way!
