Personalizing Your Bridal Look: Tips and Suggestions

Remember there’s no right or wrong when it comes to Bridal. Everyone is different, and every single style is unique and personalised to you.  I suggest that my brides have around 3-6 images of things they like, and also that they try to figure out just what it is about it they like in particular. Maybe your keen on having your hair down, or you want a really soft make up look because you don’t usually wear any. Inspiration images can really help me understand exactly what your wedding day vision is and how we can best create that for you.

The Importance of a Bridal Preview Session

As a professional bridal hair and makeup artist, I understand how important it is for you to look and feel your best on your big day. That’s why I offer a preview session to all of my bridal clients around 3 months before their wedding day.

Collaborating for Your Unique Bridal Vision

The preview session invite is a crucial part of your bridal hair and makeup journey. It’s the perfect opportunity for us to meet and collaborate, allowing me to get to know you and your unique bridal vision. During the session, we’ll discuss your preferences, likes and dislikes, and any specific ideas you may have for your hair and makeup on the big day.

Crafting the Perfect Bridal Look Together

Not only does the preview session invite allow us to get to know each other, it also ensures that we achieve the perfect bridal look for you. We’ll work together to create a hair and makeup style that complements your features, enhances your natural beauty, and makes you feel confident and radiant on your wedding day.

Confidence and Peace of Mind: Preview Session Benefits

By the end of the preview session, you’ll have a clear idea of how you’ll look on the big day, as well as the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your bridal hair and makeup is in the hands of a knowledgeable and experienced professional. The preview session is an essential part of your bridal hair and makeup journey. It allows us to collaborate, get to know each other, and create the perfect look for your big day. Please don’t hesitate to contact me to schedule your preview session if you are in need of a specific date, otherwise keep an eye out for the email invitation which should arrive in your inbox when it’s time to book! In the mean time don’t hesitate to drop me a message if you have any questions about the process. I can’t wait to be a part of your special day!

The Bridal Magic of Charlotte Tilbury

As a professional in the bridal hair and makeup industry, I can confidently say that Charlotte Tilbury is a go-to brand for brides on their wedding day. There’s something magic inside those little gold packets and so many Brides to be opting for a ‘Charlotte Tilbury inspired’ look on their big day.  With a selection of soft, pink tones the shades are universally flattering for so many b rides who want to achieve that perfect ‘glow’. The brand offers a range of stunning Charlotte tilbury bridal looks and products targeted as ‘wedding specific’ that will leave you feeling like the absolute best version of yourself.

Popular Bridal Looks: Flawless Wedding Glow & Vintage Vamp

One of the most popular looks is the “Flawless Wedding Glow” which incorporates a dewy complexion, soft contouring, and a pop of colour on the cheeks. This look is perfect for brides who want to look fresh-faced and radiant on their big day.

Top Charlotte Tilbury Products Brides Love

Another popular look is the “Vintage Vamp” which incorporates a bold red lip and sultry eye makeup. This look is perfect for brides who want to make a statement and exude confidence on their wedding day.

Personalized Bridal Sessions: Choosing the Perfect Products

Some of the top products from Charlotte Tilbury that brides love include the Magic Cream, which is a luxurious moisturizer that preps the skin for makeup application.

The Airbrush Flawless Foundation is also a popular choice as it provides a flawless finish that lasts all day ( I use this myself and you’ll also find it in my kit too! )

For the eyes, the Luxury Palette in Pillow Talk is a must-have as it offers a range of beautiful neutral shades that complement all skin tones.

Enhancing Your Bridal Beauty: Product Recommendations & Discounts

And finally, the Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk is a cult favorite and a top choice for brides looking for the perfect nude lipstick. People will often ask me what products I carry in my kit and whilst I do stock various products from specific brands, and I’m more than happy to recommend things that I know will work – what’s most important to me is using a product that will best compliment your skin type. At your preview session is when these choices are made. This allows us the opportunity to decide together what works best for you, what you like, and what I can ensure lasts for the entire duration of the wedding day. You are more than welcome to bring along your favorite products for me to color match or use (many people bring their own lipsticks) but if you’re not sure then please don’t worry – I have everything available here and can even provide recommendations and discounts too – should you wish to go away and purchase certain products for yourself!
