Things my brides do that I love!

Writer: Ellie NormanEllie Norman

Hello beautiful brides-to-be!


As a hair and makeup artist, I have the honour of being part of one of the most important days of your life. Each bride brings her own unique charm and personality to the experience, and there are certain things my brides do that truly make my heart sing. Here’s a little insight into what I love seeing from my brides and why it makes our time together so special.




1. Sharing Their Vision

One of the things I adore is when brides come to me with a clear vision of how they want to look on their wedding day. Whether it’s a Pinterest board full of inspiration, magazine cutouts, or even just a few descriptive words, sharing your vision helps me understand your style and preferences. It’s a joy to bring your dream look to life!



2. Trusting the Process

I absolutely love when brides trust the process and let me work my magic. Trusting your hair and makeup artist allows for a creative and relaxed atmosphere. When you let go and trust in my expertise, we can achieve the most beautiful results together.



3. Being Open to Suggestions

While it’s wonderful to have a clear vision, it’s equally delightful when brides are open to suggestions. Sometimes a slight tweak or a different approach can enhance your look even more. I love when brides are willing to experiment a little during the trial session, as it often leads to discovering the perfect style.



4. Communicating Honestly

Honest communication is key to ensuring you’re thrilled with your hair and makeup. I appreciate when brides are open about what they like and don’t like during our sessions. Your feedback is invaluable and helps me tailor the look to your exact desires.



5. Bringing Positive Energy

Your wedding day is a celebration of love and joy, and I love it when brides bring positive energy into the room. Your excitement and happiness are contagious and set a wonderful tone for the entire getting-ready process. It’s a privilege to be surrounded by such positive vibes as you prepare for your big moment.



6. Involving Their Bridal Party

Seeing brides include their bridal party in the preparation process is always heartwarming. Whether it’s a bridesmaid helping to choose the final lipstick shade or a heartfelt toast with champagne, these moments create a warm, supportive environment that I cherish being part of it.



7. Taking Time for Self-Care

I love when brides take time for self-care in the days leading up to the wedding. It’s important to rest, hydrate, and pamper yourself before the big day. When brides arrive well-rested and with glowing skin, it makes my job even more enjoyable and allows for the best results.



8. Relaxing and Enjoying the Moment

It’s wonderful when brides take a moment to relax and enjoy the process. The getting-ready time can be one of the most intimate and fun parts of the day. When brides are present and savouring each moment, it creates beautiful memories and a calm, joyous atmosphere.



9. Expressing Gratitude

A simple thank you goes a long way. I deeply appreciate when brides express their gratitude for my work. Knowing that I’ve contributed to making your day special is incredibly rewarding and reminds me why I love what I do.



10. Sharing Their Experience

Finally, I love when brides share their experience with others. Whether it’s a glowing review, a beautiful photo on social media, or a heartfelt recommendation to a friend, your support means the world to me. It’s a testament to the connection we’ve built and the special moments we’ve shared.
