Snowy winter wedding!!

Antonia is absolutely wonderful! I felt completely transformed into the best version of me, but I still felt like me, which is what I wanted. She has a lovely calm presence which was so reassuring on the day, and while being unobtrusive was very good at keeping us on track in terms of timekeeping. She set out a clear plan and also gave excellent skincare advice. It felt amazing to be in such skilled hands, and the resulting pictures are just incredible! I would recommend Antonia to anyone!

Antonia is phenomenal

If you want a natural look for your wedding, or are nervous in any way about your hair and makeup - look no further. Antonia is absolutely amazing. She was diligent, attentive and creative with what looks would suit me, and helped me work out what I was looking for. I've never felt so confident - and that was down to Antonia's amazing skills. If you have curly hair too - Antonia is the perfect artist for you.

Fantastic and professional service

I feel so incredibly lucky to have experienced Antonia's talents for my wedding. From the moment I rang her to make an initial enquiry, through to my trial and on the day itself she has been an absolutely pleasure to work with - warm, friendly, caring, a calming influence on the morning of the wedding, and so so talented.

She really took the time to listen and understand how I'd like my hair and make up, and what feels most natural to me. I wanted to feel glam for the day, but also still feel and look like me and was initially worried about feeling 'caked' in make up. She delivered everything I wanted and more...Skincare advice and product recommendations in the run up to the wedding and when the day itself came around I felt amazing and still like myself. The make up products were light, fresh and comfortable, expertly applied and they lasted right through to the early hours of the morning with not a single touch up (other than lip gloss after eating) needed.

Antonia gave me great advice and consultancy on my hair style throughout the prep period as I couldn't decide between fresh flowers or a hair piece. In the end, we used fresh flowers and she created something on the day that I absolutely loved without a brief - she was that much in tune with the theme and style of the day. All of our hairstyles (myself, 3 bridesmaids and my Mum) were still in tip-top condition by the end of the night!

What a lovely lady and what a wonderful business. I can't recommend Antonia and Elle Au Natural enough. Next up, I'm keen to book in for some of her make-up lessons...!

The hair and makeup was exactly how I imagined

Antonia did my hair and make up for me on my wedding day and reception evening. I just wanted to say a big thank you to Antonia. The hair and makeup was exactly how I imagined it to be. I felt like myself.

Antonia was calming presence on the day. She is one of the most professional people I have met and truly talented. I would definitely recommend Antonia.

I would like to thank her for making my day so special.

Such an artist

Antonia did the hair and make up for me and my sister for my wedding in Pangbourne in August 2018. She was just brilliant; so professional and such an artist. Although me and my sister wanted very different styles she took it all in her stride and gave us both exactly what we wanted. She was such a calming presence in the morning for me, my sister and my Mum! I couldn't believe how gorgeous we all looked for the whole evening despite the rain and a lot of ceilidh dancing!! Thank you so much!!

My Hair Was Perfection

I wanted to email you and pass on my huge THANKS for my beautiful hair on our wedding day. I know things were a bit rushed and there were slight changes to the style, but you were so professional and delivered amazing results. My hair was just PERFECT and it framed my face so well, matching well with my tikka and dress. I had so many compliments from my friends and family about my hair and my husband loved it. I really didn't want to take it out at the end of the day.

Thank you for my mum's hair too. She absolutely loved it herself and the hair accessory complimented the style so well. I have never seen her with hair like that and she looked beautiful.

Thank you again, I would highly recommend you to anyone I know that is engaged.

I’ve never felt more beautiful

Thank you so, so much for doing my hair and makeup on the 2nd June. Not only did you make me and my bridesmaids look beautiful but you were a delight to have around on a very special and personal morning. I LOVED my makeup, I’ve never felt more beautiful and my hair with the extensions was everything I dreamed of. Most definitely worth the money! I know my bridesmaids were really happy also and my sister won’t stop talking about the makeup brand you used! You did an amazing job, thank you. I’ll be sure to pass your name onto future brides.
