Allow me to introduce myself!
If you're looking for a make up and hair artist who will bring over 20 years of experience with even more decades of cheesy tunes, all while making you look and feel like the very best version of yourself, you've come to the right place.

Every choice you make for your wedding is a part of your story, your style, and your vision for the day and your makeup and hair should reflect that, no matter what Pinterest tells you is on trend! So whether that's a radiant glow for your wildflower wedding, rustic vibes for a woodland soiree or a flash of sparkle and drama for your very own festival, I've got you covered. It doesn't matter if you're a barely-there bride or a DM-wearing glitter princess, you've got to feel like you.

I'm also here to bring the vibes for your other special occasions and teach you your very own tips and tricks with one to one makeup lessons.

For me, makeup only has one rule - you've got to be cruelty free, and feeling fabulous!

If that sounds like your kind of style head over to my website or shoot me a WhatsApp and let's talk.

WOODLAND BOHO, BUT MAKE IT MODERN. 🌿🌸

There’s something effortlessly beautiful about a wedding surrounded by nature — and this woodland boho inspiration proves that relaxed doesn't have to mean rustic.

Think sage greens, natural textures, flowing fabrics and delicate florals, brought together with thoughtful details and a contemporary feel.

The result? A wedding aesthetic that feels romantic, personal and beautifully connected to its surroundings.

And that's what we love about modern weddings — taking an idea and making it completely your own.

🤍 Would you choose a woodland boho wedding?

The eighth month of the year brought eight weddings, five bridal trials, nine new brides for 2027, one mini break, and a brand new hip for the husband... I'd definitely say I'm ready for autumn! But I can't thank everyone enough for the amazing year it's been so far and in particular the love and support that has been flowing the last few weeks.

Now the big day has been I can share these pics from Rachel's bridal trial. The brief was a rose gold and peachy glow to match the colour scheme for the day and I just *loved* how much Rachel was feeling it. As always my photography skills are severely lacking so I can't wait to see what @allianceweddingphotography and @burton_media_weddings captured of the actual wedding because the look on the morning was 🤌🏽🍑 if I do say so myself

Bridal doesn't need to mean stiff and structured.
It can mean the soft glow of sunkissed skin, the sparkle on your eyes catching in the dappled sunlight, embracing texture and letting your hair fly in the breeze as you dance.

It's what makes you feel beautiful.

Creating these kinds of looks -  a touch of glam, a dash of fun, but somehow effortless - are some of my favourites. And, as always, 100% cruelty free 🐰

My favourite memories from Chrissy's bridal process (other than the awesome playlist on the wedding morning) are seeing this smile!
Feeling gorgeous from start to finish should absolutely be the end goal every time 🩷

Thank you so much for choosing me and for such lovely words Chrissy x

The sun has finally reappeared - so what better time to show off this gorgeous bridesmaids' glow from Clara's big day during last week's heatwave. 

To compliment the bride's princess-style soft glam and the beautiful dusty pink of their dresses, showing once again how you can add a pop of colour to your day -
delicate pink sparkles with a glowing rose gold cheek and a sheer blush lip 👌🏽
A softly smoked brown liner is always one of my favourite go-to's and it's also the perfect way to offset brighter colour.
