What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
If guests are making it hard for you to decide on something, just remember that you're not going to please everyone so you might as well make yourselves happy. It's your wedding.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
I always love it when a personal touch is to do with music - there's something magical and special about music so it's very meaningful to incorporate that in.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I usually deal with the bride who will enquire for hair and makeup. I'll let you know if me or others in my team are available, and you can pick the artist you want (portfolios for each artist are on my website). Then we'll arrange your hair and makeup preview which is where we'll discuss your vision, your usual look, your wedding style etc and come up with the perfect look. Then we won't see you again until your wedding day, unless you book in for a facial or some hen party hair and makeup/glitter.
What do you love most about your job?
Celebrating with you that you're getting married!
What is your No. 1 beauty tip for a bride?
Use proper skincare, ditch the wipes.
How do you keep the bride feeling calm on her wedding day?
I have been told that I have a very calming presence, that's quite natural to me. I create a schedule too for the wedding morning and will have you all ready to get in your outfits 1 hour before the ceremony, so there's plenty of time. Oh and eat a good breakfast.
What advice would you give to brides to stay looking great throughout their wedding day?
It's good to have a touch up kit with blotting paper/lipstick and powder for later on. I think a bright pop of lipstick for the reception is always fun too.
