Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Bridal Preview required?
Bridal Previews are included in the Bridal Package. It gives us the chance to meet, discuss your style, and try out your Bridal glam!
How far out should I book my Preview?
I recommend 2-3 months prior to your wedding date. If we do the preview too far in advance, your style and vision could change.
When are you available for Previews and Trials?
I schedule bridal previews and trials on weekdays between 9:00am - 2:00pm and some Sundays.
What is the difference between a Bridal Preview VSÂ a Bridal Trial?
A bridal preview is for clients who have signed a contract and paid their retainer to secure their wedding date. A bridal preview is to preview your desired look and to also go over your wedding timeline and any other details about your wedding day.
A bridal trial is for clients who have not secured their date and would like to try out their desired look. Your wedding date is open to all other inquiries in the meantime.
Do you require a retainer to book?
To secure your wedding date, I require a signed contract and $100.00 non-refundable retainer. You do have a 48 hour grace period from the time the contract has been sent out to sign and pay your retainer, otherwise your date is void and becomes available for others to book.
For all other services, I require a signed contract and $50.00 retainer to secure your date.
Do you have a minimum booking requirement?
Yes, I do! I require a minimum booking requirement of either the Bride + 3 others or the cost equivalent of $610 + travel fees for weddings.
Can I book a Trial prior to securing my date?
Absolutely, but this is on a first come, first serve basis. Nothing is secured unless your contract is signed and the retainer has been paid.
How do you take payment?
I take e-transfer and cash.
How much time should I allow for makeup on my wedding day?
Allow at least 1 hour for the bride and 45 minutes for all others (bridesmaids, mothers, etc)
What if I want to add people/services?
Once the contract is signed, that number is not subject to change UNLESS you are able to adjust your timeline to an earlier start time. I plan the day based on that number of people, and as a solo artist, I am only able to accommodate 6-7 services.
What if I need another Makeup Artist?
I am currently a solo artist and do not have any team members, so I can do a maximum of 6-7 services, depending on your timeline. If you need a second Makeup Artist, I can provide one or I have a list of so many amazing recommendations.
Can we get ready in my venue's Bridal Suite?
We understand they are beautiful and make for the best photos, but venues fail to mentionthat you typically don't get access to the bridal suite until 9am or 10am, which makes it incredibly difficult to accommodate a large wedding party with a tight timeline.
Where do you recommend getting ready?
Airbnb or a hotel are perfect options! Ask hotels if you can use their conference rooms for a larger space.
