Do I need a bridal makeup trial?
Every professional bridal application starts with a trial. It is where your look is actually created, not guessed at on the morning. Gessica uses the trial to learn your skin, your undertone, your vision, and to plan your entire wedding morning timeline. Brides who skip it are the ones who spend their wedding day feeling slightly uncomfortable in a look they never properly tested. Book the trial. It is the most important appointment of your bridal prep.
How does the trial work and where does it happen?
Your trial is at Gessica's studio in Darlington, County Durham, or she can come to you with travel added on top. It lasts about 90 minutes. It is £100 on its own, or included in the Bride Only Package (£300). Your look is created and your wedding morning is planned together, so nothing is left to chance on the day.
What is included in the trial?
Ninety minutes with Gessica. Skin type and undertone analysis. Your full wedding day look created and photographed. Custom shade notes saved to your file. Your wedding morning timeline planned together. A pre-wedding skincare prep guide.
How much does bridal makeup cost?
Getting ready on your own? The Bride Only Package is £300 and includes your trial and your wedding morning makeup. With a bridal party: trial £100, bride on the wedding day £150, bridesmaids, mothers and guests £90 each, children up to 13 £30 each. Travel depends on where you're getting ready and is shown in your quote.
Does Gessica travel to me?
Yes, across the North East. Travel is free in Zone 1, £20 in Zone 2 and £40 in Zone 3, depending on where you're getting ready, and it is always shown in your quote. Your trial is at her Darlington studio, or she can come to you with travel added on top.
Can Gessica do the full bridal party?
Yes. Bridesmaids, mothers of the bride and groom, sisters, aunts and guests can all be added at £90 each, and children up to 13 at £30 each. There is no extra travel cost for each party member. Include your full party size when you enquire so the morning timeline can be planned accurately.
How far in advance should I book?
For UK weddings, 6 to 18 months ahead is typical, particularly for peak season dates between May and September. If your wedding is sooner than this, do not assume Gessica is fully booked. Reach out at [email protected] to check availability for your date. Last-minute dates do come up and it is always worth asking. Gessica is now booking 2026 and 2027.
Do you travel for destination weddings?
Not at the moment. Gessica focuses on weddings across the North East.
What if I don't love my trial result?
Tell Gessica during your trial. The trial is the time to try things and change your look before the day. The trial fee is not refundable once your trial has taken place.
What happens on the wedding morning?
Gessica arrives calm, prepared and on time. She manages the full morning schedule so every member of your party is ready without anyone feeling rushed. The look has already been created at the trial, so the morning is pure execution. No decisions, no surprises, nothing improvised. The timeline is planned with you in advance so everyone knows exactly when they need to be ready. You are looked after, exactly as planned.
