YOUR DESTINATION WEDDING.
A destination wedding is an exciting and joyous celebration, but the logistical challenges of organising the finer details can sometimes feel overwhelming. That's where I come in - I'm here to lend a helping hand with any logistical planning, and provide tips and advice to ensure that your special day runs as smoothly as possible. Whether you need assistance with venue selection, travel arrangements, or other details, I am more than happy to offer my expertise and make the planning process stress-free and enjoyable for you. Let's work together to create a magical destination wedding that exceeds your expectations.
I am a hair and makeup artist who can create a natural and timeless look that will enhance your beauty and make you feel confident and radiant on your big day. With over 8 years of experience in the industry, I am the perfect addition to your supplier list. I am comfortable booking and planning my own arrangements, so all you need to do is book me & i’ll handle the rest!
Taking UK suppliers to your destination can be useful in many ways. We understand your style, how weddings need to run for efficiency & we also have the luxury of being able to do a trial before your big day (if you are UK based).
I have a kit full of high end cruelty free products to make you look and feel your best on your wedding day, no matter the climate. Whether you're getting married in a hot tropical destination or an icy winter landscape, I have the expertise and products to ensure that your hair and/or makeup lasts throughout the day and looks stunning in every photo. Put your trust in me to bring out the best in you and create a bridal look that you'll absolutely love.

FAQs answered.
Expenses explained.
Here are the typical expenses expected to be covered by the bride & groom for a destination wedding:
A return flight from the UK (my preferred airports are Stansted or Gatwick, or Heathrow airport) to your destination, including hold luggage due liquid & weight restrictions in the cabin.
Airport Parking & petrol in the UK.
Two nights accommodation (*three if applicable) in your chosen location an appropriate distance from the venue & airport. Some venues have spaces for suppliers, so it’s always worth enquiring to see if they have any spare rooms.
Taxis or 2 days hire car to commute to and from your wedding venue. If accommodation is being provided, taxis to and from the airport is still required.
A day rate to cover travelling times, this varies depending on flight times and will be included within your bespoke quote.
How much do you charge?
Destination weddings are quoted upon request, this depends on location, how many days you are booking me for etc. if you fill out my enquiry form below I will send over my bridal portfolio which includes all my rates. I can also send a custom quote if you provide enough information below. But just so you get an idea, my day rate for a wedding abroad is £750 + all travel expenses.
Change of look & touch ups.
Why not make the most of your makeup artist being in your destination, by adding on additional services for the wedding evening. Being in a hotter climate can have an effect on how your hair and makeup lasts so you may consider a touch up service to keep you photo ready all evening! If you are having a dress change, why not have a makeup and hair change too? We can change up the look by adding some glitz or a bolder lip of your choice, putting the hair up or alternatively taking it down. If you would like either of these services added to your quote please do let me know.
Other services.
Are you having a party the day before the wedding? Having brunch to celebrate the day after the wedding? If so, you may consider making the most of having your personal H&M artist with you, by booking makeup services for these events!
What happens if I have a large bridal party?
I can accommodate the bride + 6 for destination weddings, as usually the ceremony time is a lot later than in the UK. If we have a party of 7 or more, an assistant will be required. I will source the assistant makeup artist for you so no need to worry about this, I will choose someone with a similar style to myself. I have a few assistants that I work regularly with so we already work well together. Their services, accommodation & travel will also need to be covered.
Have further questions? Drop me an email with any thing you’d like to ask!
I look forward to hearing from you and potentially being a part of your special day at your chosen destination. If you want to go ahead, please fill out my form below and I’ll be in touch via email!
