Your trial

Your trial day will be held at my Brighton studio and can be taken immediately following the consultation, by prior arrangement. Another member of your bridal party may join you, but please allow an extra hour for any further trials. This must be pre-booked.

I offer a unique and in-depth service to all my brides. We will spend up to three to four hours creating your vision for the big day – experimenting with different looks and styles until you are 100% happy.

We’ll discover what hair and make-up really works best for you to accentuate your best features and enhance your natural beauty, but without altering your individual style. We will also discuss how the pre-wedding preparations may work for the location you have chosen to get ready in.

After taking all things into consideration I will have a clear understanding of the time that will be required. I will then be able to provide you with a time schedule so that everyone involved will be assured as to what is happening and when they will be needed on the day.

All images found in this section were taken by me during actual bridal trials, not models and have not been retouched!

Bespoke guide and
follow up report specifically for you

If you choose, I can also supply you with a comprehensive and detailed personalised follow up support and report of your trial. This includes detailed photographic images of you, before, during and after the process. Together with written notes with observations, suggestions and further recommendations.

This way you can see exactly how your hair and makeup works from each and every viewpoint.

Not only will you be able to show your friends and family, but you will have a clear reference as to how you will look on the day and a beautiful document and keepsafe.
