For my brides
Preparing for your wedding morning
A few simple steps in the weeks before, so your skin, hair and morning are ready for your most confident day.
3–6 monthsBefore
- Have your bridal preview at my Kent studio. Bring your veil or accessories if you have them, photos of your dress, and your inspiration.
- Wear a top with a similar neckline to your dress, so you can see the full look together.
- Can't make a preview? A 30-minute Zoom consultation lets us plan your look in detail, including whether extensions would help.
6–8 weeksBefore
- Confirm your final bridal party numbers, ceremony time and getting-ready address.
- Book any colour, gloss or toning appointments, ideally 1–2 weeks before the day.
- Avoid trying new skincare, treatments or facials from here on.
The week ofYour wedding
- Hydrate, sleep well and keep your skin routine gentle and familiar.
- Wash your hair the day before unless advised otherwise, and skip heavy oils or serums.
- Choose a button-up top or robe for the morning, so you can change without disturbing your hair.
The morningOf your wedding
- Come to your chair with clean, moisturised skin and no makeup.
- Have breakfast and water close by, and let yourself enjoy every moment.
- Leave time for dressing, photographs and your veil, so nothing feels rushed.
