Your Relaxed Bridal Morning…

This is something that I feel is so important on the morning of a wedding. 

Your wedding morning should be stress free, fun and relaxed. That’s why makeup artists set out a schedule for the wedding morning so that all involved know what’s happening and that someone is always in the chair. 

Generally, if we set a time for 8am that means I will arrive at 7:45am and get set up to be ready to go at 8am.  As a rule makeup generally takes anywhere from 30-50 mins with the bride generally 60 minutes.

The schedule for a bride if her ceremony is at 1pm is that I like to have her in my chair for about 10:30am so that when the photographer arrives for 11 am that he/she is capturing the bride’s makeup moments and final touches. That way by 11:30 she is done and has ample time for a glass of bubbles and to get into her dress and have those precious moments with family and friends.

Our Process & Prices

We will go over various factors to allow me to envision your special day and create a makeup look not only to suit you but to work harmoniously with your entire day. 

After the mini client consultation, I begin the client’s makeup application, being sure to stop and ask questions along the way so that my client feels comfortable with the look I am creating for them. There is always room for small adjustments, but the trial is always limited to one makeup application. After the look is executed, I always suggest for my clients to wear the complete look throughout the day, so that they can get a sense of how the makeup hold up through daily activities.

As with all parts of your big day, you will want to know the details before committing to us.

    Gemma!!!! I honestly can’t even begin to thank you for the incredible job you did on Friday!! You made us all feel so at ease and just added to the gorgeous vibes of the getting ready (as well as making us all look sensational!!). Your calm energy really rubbed off on me and I so so loved having you there to do those final touches in the palace suite - that bit was so magical!! You’re an absolute dream and the girls couldn’t speak highly enough of you. I’m sure you’ll be getting a few messages over the next couple of years from the many fiancés that were at that wedding 😅 Again, I just want to say how truly amazing you made me feel on the best day of my life 🧡🧡🧡

    Gemma is just incredible!!! She did my make up along with 7 bridesmaids and my mother in law for my wedding and I genuinely can’t fault her. Not only did she do all our make up perfectly but got it done in plenty of time so she could make sure everyone was happy and do some touch ups. Gemma is such a lovely person and remains calm and professional at all times whilst bringing good vibes - exactly what you need on the morning of your wedding! She didn’t leave until right before I walked down the aisle to make sure I was happy and she could do last minute touch ups. Can’t recommend her enough!!!

    Gemma did the makeup for myself and seven bridesmaids for my wedding. She was so lovely in the build up and I knew I was going to be happy following how at ease I felt and how much I liked the trial look. Along with being so lovely she’s also super talented. All 8 of us were really happy and felt the best versions of ourselves. Gemma really listened to what each of the girls wanted and had a wide variety of products to suit all skin types and the overall desired look. It was a really hot day and everyone’s makeup stayed all day and night. She brought a relaxed vibe to the morning and made everyone feel their best. Couldn’t recommend her enough and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you!
