The Bridal Experience
Hair & Make Up to help you feel calm, confident and beautifully you.
Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming — your hair and makeup shouldn’t.
With over a decade of experience and a true passion for enhancing natural beauty, I’m here to help you feel like the most radiant, authentic version of yourself. Whether you’re after an undone, timeless, or completely unique look, I’ll guide you every step of the way with calm energy and expert advice.
A note from Ruby...
First things first... congratulations! I’m so excited you’re here.
Whether you’ve dreamed of this day forever or are figuring it out as you go, one thing’s for sure: your bridal hair and makeup should make you feel like the best version of you. My job is to take the pressure off the way you look and feel so that you can be fully present, feel utterly radiant, and actually enjoy every moment of this precious time. This isn’t just make up, hair and beauty services. It’s investing in yourself.
I believe in using the power of hair and make up to enhance your natural beauty, making you look and feel your absolute best. I pride myself on providing a luxury bridal service that puts you, the bride-to-be, front and centre.
When I’m not getting brides ready, I’m at home in Hampshire with my two girls, my fiancé, and Frank the Frenchie. I’m a sucker for great skincare, good biscuits, and a strong cup of tea.
This page will guide you through what to expect from my bridal services, answer your key questions and give you a feel for what it will be like to work together.
The Experience
What it’s like to work with me…
-
Every look I create is completely tailored to you. I take the time to understand your personal style, skin needs, hair type and overall wedding vision.

From your first enquiry to the final touch on your wedding day, everything is handled with care, communication and attention to detail. You'll receive a bespoke schedule for your bridal morning so everything runs smoothly and stress-free.

I’ve helped hundreds of brides feel like the best version of themselves, never overdone. Expect honest advice, gentle guidance and a warm, grounding energy on your wedding day.
-
Your preview appointment (aka trial) is a time to explore ideas, try products and refine your bridal look in a relaxed and collaborative setting. I will always encourage you to make plans after your trial so that you can get a feel for how everything lasts and sits!
-
Everyone is welcome in my chair. My kit and skill set are designed to work across a wide range of skin tones, hair types and ages. I pride myself on creating a safe, kind and confidence-boosting space.

Have a big bridal party? I work with a trusted team of artists trained in my signature style so you get a seamless experience, even with lots of lovely faces to glam.
Why I do What I do
Hair & Makeup That Transforms From the Inside Out
I am obsessed with the transformative effect hair and make up has.
It makes you stand taller, take up more space & encourages confidence.
I have seen it so many times in my career and I adore it.
“I wish you could come to my house and do my hair and make up everyday
— If I had a penny for every time I heard this… but my answer is always the same. What makes my service so special is that it really is saved for life’s most precious moments. Myself and my bridal services weave themselves into those moments, adding a little bit more magic to an already magical time.
My Style •
I have built a reputation creating lightweight but long lasting looks. I love showing as much skin as possible, when it comes to make up, I really do believe that less is more. Bridal make up artistry is the art of balancing beautiful make up looks that work in person and on camera. I will always listen to you and work with your features to allow your unique and natural beauty to radiate.
My hairstyling superpower is creating soft, romantic styles that take into consideration all of your wedding and personal style details. We will always discuss your likes, dislikes and other aspects of your wedding look that will determine the best hairstyle for you.
But, It’s not just about how you look…
Almost half of your wedding day is spent with the make up artist & hair stylist that you pick. Liking my work and my style is one thing, but liking me is quite important too! If you're looking for an artist that can support you with your bridal vision, slot in to your wedding morning seamlessly & bring a calming presence. I'd love to chat!
For The Bride

Your Trial
Your bridal preview (often called a trial) takes place at my serene home studio just outside of Yateley, Hampshire.
This is your time to explore ideas, test products and bring your dream look to life. I’ll guide you with honest advice but I always want to be led by what makes you feel most “you.”
Whether you arrive with a Pinterest board or just a feeling, we’ll figure it out together. To get you inspired, I send a thoughtful pre-trial pack a few weeks before our appointment.
Trials are relaxed, collaborative and never rushed. They’re also the perfect time to connect and build trust ahead of the big day.

Your Wedding Day
When the day arrives, I’ll be there! On time, calm and prepared, following a bespoke schedule I’ll send you in advance.
You’ll settle into the chair with a cuppa or a glass of fizz, surrounded by your favourite people. No rush, no stress… just space to breathe and soak it all in.
Your time in the chair is often one of the few quiet, grounding moments in an otherwise whirlwind day. Past brides have told me how much this time helped calm their nerves and set the tone for the hours ahead.
If you have a larger bridal party, my incredible team of artists are on hand to assist… all trained to my high standards and signature style.
Supporting you through this beautiful milestone is an honour I never take for granted.
For the Bridal Party

Mothers of the Bride and/or Groom
Ensuring your mothers feels comfortable, confident, and truly beautiful is a priority of mine. Looks that are polished, natural, and timeless.
It is a big day for mothers and I take pride in pampering these very important guests!

Maids of Honour, Bridesmaids & Guests
Celebrate the people that matter most to you… I’ll help your VIPs feel amazing while keeping your overall bridal vision cohesive. Whether you're going for matching styles or allowing individual expression, I make sure each person feels confident and camera-ready.

Young Bridesmaids & Flower Girls
A gentle touch of sparkle, soft curls, or a special little braid - flower girls are treated with care and age-appropriate styling. Nothing heavy, just a sweet moment of magic that helps them feel included in the morning excitement.
The Investment
Hair and Make up is usually one of the smaller investments on your wedding day but one of the most impactful. It’s not just about looking beautiful in your photos. It’s about how you feel. When you see yourself in the mirror, when you walk down the aisle, when you’re surrounded by everyone you love.
My pricing reflects:
* Over a decade of experience
* Specialist training
* Meticulous attention to detail
* High levels of communication
* A luxury, personal service I’m truly proud of
My Studio
This is where the magic happens!
My studio, situated in the leafy suburbs tucked in neatly on the Hampshire, Berkshire & Surrey border offers a calm, safe space with lots of privacy for my clients. I will always have music playing and the lighting is so great for hair and make up. I love my Hollywood mirror & neewer light that provides a little extra boost on gloomy days.
There’s lots of parking space & the room is nicely separated from my house (although I can’t guarantee you won’t hear the occasional little person or dog paws on the wooden floor!)
If you are interested in booking in for any pre-wedding beauty treatments, this is where they will be hosted.
I can accomodate the bride alongside a maximum of two guests due to the size of the studio.
