Our small team of hair stylists and makeup artists are renowned for creating dreamy bridal hair and natural makeup looks. Soft textured hair paired with natural luminous makeup are our speciality. Our calm and personable approach creates a beautiful relaxed environment for you to be pampered in on your wedding day and makes us highly sort after by brides, designers and photographers.

Pre-wedding trials

Trials are the perfect opportunity for us to connect and get to know one another. We want to meet you and get to know your style. Our aim is to design a look that is perfect for you allowing you to feel beautiful and confident on your wedding day. Brides often refer to our work as ‘a more polished, glamorous version of themselves’. Making you feel amazing but still true to yourself is very important to us.

The best time to hold a trial is 1 – 2 months prior to your wedding day. Our hair and makeup trials are by appointment only and typically take 1-1.5hrs for either hair or makeup or 1.5-2hrs for both hair and makeup. We hold all our hair and makeup trials at our stylist’s addresses throughout the Hunter Region. As our weddings occur on weekends, our hair and makeup trials are strictly limited to weekdays only.

At your trial we will discuss your dream wedding day look and what you’re hoping to achieve. We’ll dive into your inspiration and offer our advice and suggestions. Once we complete your hair and makeup look we will document all products used and take some photos of you so that we have a record to replicate on your wedding day. Our goal is to have you leaving this appointment feeling beautiful and confident.
