Well where do I even start?.... I booked Helen over 2 years ago, I think she was the 4th person I had booked, after the venue, registrar and photographer.
I originally found helen from just a simple google search and she was at the top of the list on the search. I looked through pictures and thought WOW this woman can sure do some amazing makeup, so I thought I'd message Helen and see if she was available - and she was!!!
So I quickly decided to book Helen even though I had never met her or spoken over the telephone, I just had a feeling that everything would be ok.
I have spent the last 18 months watching all the other beautiful brides have fantastic make up done by Helen and was waiting in anticipation for my big day which felt like a lifetime away.
I later met Helen for the first time at a wedding Fayre at Burntwood Rugby Club last year and from when I met Helen, I just knew that everything was going to be a million miles away from just "ok" - I knew I was in for an absolutely phenomenal make over.
It finally came to my trial in July/August 2017. I showed helen a few pictures of the look I wanted and she just worked from that. I didn't see what she was doing throughout the process until she handed me her mirror to have the first look at my makeup. I lifted the mirror and looked into it and just the most incredible feeling ran through me, I couldn't believe it was me. I felt a million dollars!
Everything was absolutely perfect.
Helen made me feel at complete ease and that nothing was too much trouble. She made sure that I was completely happy with everything and she takes so much pride in what she does. I just couldn't wait for my wedding day now and to see everything come together.
So, on Friday 22nd September 9am
Helen arrived with the biggest smile on her face, I couldn't wait to share my morning with her. Helen did the make up for my mum and mother in law as well as my own and I just cannot describe the emotion that ran through me all over again. This time though it was just incredible. Helen worked her magic in the morning and got us all ready by our 12 noon deadline and none of us felt rushed or stressed. Helen made me feel completely relaxed and she truly is a star!
I cannot put into words how incredibly honoured I am to have had such an incredible make up artist on my wedding day to do one of the most important things for me. My mum and mother in law felt amazing, they were so happy with their makeup too and it even lasted until the next morning!!!
Helen, thankyou so so much for all of your efforts I would completely recommend you to any bride who is looking for makeup. Money can't buy the feeling I had when you did my makeup and I am so glad I booked you when I did. You were worth every penny.
Love you xxx
