ON THE WEDDING DAY-

Helen will arrive as early as required on the wedding day, and will aim to finish in plenty of time; usually one hour before the ceremony, to allow her brides time to change into their dress, possibly have a few images taken, and in most cases enjoy a well deserved glass of Champagne!

Timings are dependant on style of makeup, but as a general rule 1 hour for bridal makeup and 45 minutes each for other members of the wedding party, with 30 minutes at the end of this for finishing touches and lipstick application, is an ideal schedule.

She is lucky enough to have had experience in working within many different and fabulous venues, and also frequently from client's houses. No space is too big or too small, but for best results it is best to have a room with plenty of natural daylight. Travel is included within 20 miles of her home address, with weddings outside this distance just incurring a small additional fee.

​Helen is able to work alongside hairstylists, photographers, videographers and other suppliers, so that the morning runs smoothly and without complication. A rota will always be provided in advance of all bookings.

​She also able to bring along an assistant artist for larger wedding parties, to reduce preparation time if needed or preferred
