Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

WHAT PRODUCTS DO YOU USE?

I'm lucky to have had the experience to work with many brands and feel I have amazing knowledge as to what works best for your wedding day. My kit is carefully curated and I only select the best products. I only use luxury, premium make-up products from Charlotte Tilbury, Urban Decay, Nars and more. 

HOW LONG SHOULD I ALLOW FOR MAKE-UP ON THE DAY?

Every wedding is different and we will have more of an idea after your trial, but as a general rule bridal make-up takes an hour, and bridal party is 45 minutes per person.

IS THERE A MINIMUM BOOKING REQUIREMENT FOR MY WEDDING?

My Elopement Package is the minimum package at a cost of £450. 

CAN YOU DO HAIR AS WELL FOR MY WEDDING?

I no longer provide hair styling for weddings, but have know many talented hairdressers that I can recommend to work alongside me on your wedding day. 

I HAVE A LARGE BRIDAL PARTY, CAN YOU ACCOMMODATE US?

Yes, if additional stylists are needed due to your ceremony time, or extra bridal party members, there is a charge of £125 per stylist. 

HOW MUCH IS IT FOR TRAVEL?

Travel is included in your chosen wedding package when it is 1 hour or less to travel from SM6, or travel into Central London. Travel over 1 hour is charged at 50p per mile. Travel time is worked out using google maps at a similar time of day. 

Travel for occasion appointments is charged at £30 every 30 minutes.

up to 30 minutes £30

up to 60 minutes £60

etc. 

ARE YOU INSURED?

Yes, I am insured and as is everyone else I work with. 

IS THERE A BOOKING FEE?

A non-refundable 25% fee  is taken when you make your booking which comes off your final invoice. This deposit covers admin costs and holding your date in the diary. 

DO I NEED A TRIAL?

The trial is the perfect opportunity for us to try out different styles and looks, and to decide together what will work best to enhance your features and make you feel your best on the day. Sometimes, a trial also allows us to work out what you don't want! It will make the day run smoother as we have already discussed your look in detail before creating it on the day. The trial is already included in your package for wedding makeup as I believe it is an important part of the process. 

WHERE AND WHEN WILL MY TRIAL BE?

Your trial will be held in a private makeup room at Charming Beauty Salon, Wallington. Trials arranged at your location have a surcharge of £50 as well as the travel fees detailed above (this is not included in your wedding package). I usually recommend the trial to be around 8-12 weeks before the wedding. Trials are held on weekdays due to weekends being reserved for weddings. 

HOW LONG WILL MY TRIAL LAST?

Trials last anywhere between 1-3 hours depending on your personal requirements. To ensure the smooth running of your trial, I will send you full details of how to best prepare. 

CAN I BOOK A TRIAL WITHOUT SECURING MY DATE?

Unfortunately, I am unable to accommodate trials unless your deposit has been paid to confirm your wedding date. This is due to high demand on popular dates. 

WHAT IF I'M NOT HAPPY AFTER MY TRIAL?

I hope that this would never happen as I work my best with you to ensure we find a look and style to compliment you and make you feel at your very best. We would start by having a second trial, and making sure we are both happy with the looks we are creating. However, if you no longer wanted to book for your wedding day, you are not committed to, but the deposit and the equivalent cost of the trial would be retained. Deposits are non-refundable and covers admin costs and holding your wedding date in the diary.

CAN MY BRIDAL PARTY HAVE A TRIAL?

Yes, the cost for bridal party members to have a trial is £80pp but this must be booked on the same date as your trial. I can do 2 trials in one day. If they would like to come separately from you, there is a surcharge of £50.

WHAT ARE YOU TERMS AND CONDITIONS?

When booking, you will be sent a full contract which includes all the terms and conditions, including the policy for if your wedding is postponed/cancelled due to circumstances out of your control. You are welcome to read over these terms and conditions before committing to your booking.
