Although based in Kent, Brides-to-Be Makeup covers the surrounding counties and will also travel further afield too. There are team members based all over the South East and in the Cotswolds.
'I have always had a passion for makeup and hair and decided to turn my dream into a reality. I started off by training at a private academy and then went on to achieve my Level 3 in both makeup and hair. The rest is history! I have since attended many master classes with both MAC and Jemma Kidd. You can never stop learning in the world of makeup and hair!'

'I love working with brides and their wedding party. Seeing the before and after of my work, as well as that of my team, is wonderful, as is simply being part of the bride's special day. It is especially rewarding when you receive thank you messages and photographs.'

'I am inspired by my peers, as well as various trends throughout the year which I translate into my work. My signature style is vintage with a twist. I also like fresh, polished, flawless skin. Mix the two together and you have the perfect makeup and hair for any occasion.'
