A Dream Team Member: The Bridal Hair and Makeup Artist Who Made Me Feel Radiant

As I reminisce about my wedding day, one person stands out like a shining star among the many talented vendors that contributed to the magic of the occasion - my bridal hair and makeup artist. From the moment she walked into the bridal suite until the last touch-up before the ceremony, she radiated positivity, talent, and professionalism. I am beyond grateful for her exceptional skills and the way she made me feel like the best version of myself.
Natural makeup was the look I desired for my big day, and she absolutely nailed it. She struck a perfect balance, enhancing my features without ever making me feel like a completely different person. The end result was simply stunning - a flawless and timeless look that accentuated my natural beauty.
But her talents went beyond just the technical aspects of hair and makeup. She possessed an incredible ability to understand my vision and adapt it to suit my unique features and personality. With her gentle touch, she transformed me into the radiant bride I had always envisioned.
One of the most remarkable qualities she possessed was her ability to ease my pre-wedding jitters. As nerves and excitement ran high on the morning of the ceremony, her calming presence and reassuring words provided the comfort I needed to stay composed. She not only took care of my appearance but also took the time to ensure I felt relaxed and ready to embrace the day ahead.
Throughout the entire process, she proved to be an invaluable member of our "dream team." She collaborated seamlessly with the other vendors, contributing to a harmonious atmosphere that was palpable. Her positive energy lifted the spirits of everyone present, making the day all the more enjoyable and stress-free.
As a bride, having the right suppliers is essential, and I am incredibly grateful to have had her as part of my wedding experience. From the initial consultation to the final touch-ups, she demonstrated professionalism, talent, and a genuine passion for her craft.
In conclusion, my bridal hair and makeup artist deserves nothing less than the highest praise for her outstanding work. Her ability to create a natural look that made me feel like the best version of myself, coupled with her calming presence and teamwork, made her an irreplaceable asset on my wedding day. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to any bride-to-be looking to feel like a true princess on their special day. Thank you for being a part of my wedding dream team!

Excellent wedding make up - thank you Niki!

From the first communication with Niki, she was friendly, professional and very helpful. I booked for Niki to do my make up and the make up of my bridal party on my wedding day having been told about what a good job she did for a friends wedding. During the make up trial she did a wonderful job and I left feeling amazing and knowing that I'd made the right choice for my big day. Niki gave me all the details of the make up products she had used during the trial, which I found so helpful. On the day itself Niki was warm and kind and my make up was exactly what I was hoping for. She also did a brilliant job with my bridesmaids and my mum. I'd highly recommend Niki to anyone looking to get their make up done for a wedding or special occasion of any kind. Thank you Niki!

Bridal Party Makeup

Nikki was wonderful from start to finish. She was so responsive when I first sent a request and always followed up promptly.
In the trial she took time to listen to my preferences and made meticulous notes so ensure everything was captured for the day.

We had a busy wedding morning with lots of bridesmaids to get through. Nikki worked relentlessly and was the perfect calming and structured prescience that was needed.

Nikki did such a wonderful job my MOH wanted to book for her wedding! I would definitely recommend ☺️

The best hair & make up for my big day

Niki did my make up for my big day back in April and all I can say is WOW. From the moment I went for my trial with Niki, I knew she was the right MUA for me! She made me feel comfortable, relaxed and listened to all my wants. I felt like an actual princess on my big day, and that was thanks to hair & make up from Niki! Thank you Niki :)

Fantastic make up artist for an asian bridge in Hertfordshire

I really wanted a make up artist who could adapt and understand my skin. I had bridemaids who all had different skin tones/types too and Niki was so professional and accomodating. I'd 100% recommend her to any one and everyone. She's super cool under pressure but the quality of her work never dropped. It was lovely to have her with us on the morning of the wedding - can't thank her enough!

Perfect wedding make up

Niki did an amazing job doing the make up for me, my bridesmaids, my mum and mother-in-law for my wedding day. Everyone was really pleased with the results and it all looked very natural - definitely how we wanted it.

Niki was super helpful in the run up too, very responsive and put me at ease with a great make up trial a few months in advance.

I would deifnitley recommend Niki!

Perfect Natural Makeup

Niki is an expert when it comes to natural looking makeup. Having never had professional makeup done before, my fear was that I’d come out looking orange, shiny or so made-up that my fiancé wouldn’t recognise me; but Niki did the most amazing job! She even had makeup that was suitable for people with sensitive skin, meaning that my mother-in-law, who reacts to nearly every product out there, was absolutely fine. At the trial, Niki took all of my thoughts into account and took the time to make sure I was comfortable with everything. I could not have asked for better, everything was perfect and I am so grateful to Niki for all of her support.

Look no further for a perfect MUA!

I hired Niki for myself, my bridesmaids and my mum for my wedding 27th May. Nikki put us all at ease on the day, and was happy to take into account each of our preferences for make up looks. On the lead up to she was super responsive to emails, and was happy to facilitate a couple of trial sessions as I was a little uncertain of the style I wanted to go for. I'd thoroughly recommend Niki to anyone looking for a brilliant MUA, thank so much to her for helping us all look and feel fabulous.

Beautiful Natural Makeup

I was struggling to find a makeup & hair artist for my wedding who could do natural looking makeup and make me feel comfortable with the look I wanted regarding thin hair. Niki was amazingly professional, kind and put me at ease straight away. I saw she was a recommended supplier via Offley Place and when I went for the trial I immediately felt relaxed and was so happy with the results. Niki & her assistant were amazing on the day and all 6 bridesmaids and myself were really happy with the result. Thank you for being the perfect person for hair and makeup on the day - now looking to see if I can attend a workshop to learn from you!

Super talented - 100% recommend for bridal hair and make-up!

Niki is absolutely fantastic, I couldn’t recommend her enough for bridal hair and make-up! I contacted Niki after finding her on Hitched and seeing that she specialises in natural makeup.
Niki got back to me quickly with all the details, and we arranged a trial which was great - Niki was so professional and friendly, and totally put my mind at ease as I knew from that she’d do a brilliant job on the day.
Niki did mine and my mum’s hair and makeup for my wedding. It lasted all day and was just perfect, I couldn’t have been happier! And I had so many lovely comments on my hair as well.
Niki is so talented - you won’t regret choosing Niki for your special day!
Thank you so much x

Incredible service

I found Nikki's details on Hitched, she was so quick to respond with all the information I needed and luckily was available on my wedding day! I booked, not sure what to expect. I've never been to a MUA before. The trial was so much fun in her home studio. She listened to my feedback and made adjustments exactly how I felt comfortable. Nikki arrived on time and made us all look and feel beautiful. I would highly recommend Nikki!

If Niki is in your bridal glam team, you're guaranteed to look amazing on your special day!

Niki is so friendly, knowledgeable, and was open to different ideas from the trial run, to the day of the wedding.

Being one of the first faces you see on your wedding day, she's a calming presence who also just happens to be an absolute pro. The moment I saw my make up on my wedding day, I instantly felt so beautiful, and ready to take on the rest of the day! I never even managed to get away for the day for retouches but my make up stayed flawless for the day!

She worked on me, my 3 bridesmaids, and 2 mums in one morning and she just got on with it and made sure everyone was sorted. She even helped my mum with her fascinator! Definitely recommend Niki if you want to feel like the best version of yourself on your special day.

Thank you Niki for all you did for me and the girls.

Niki is awesome!!


Niki did my makeup and hair on few occasions! She is very understanding of what you want and delivers exactly (even more) what you wished for. My wedding makeup lasted all day and night until the next day. :) I can’t recommend Niki enough!
