Bridal Makeup

Your wedding day deserves something special.

My approach to bridal makeup is all about creating a beautifully polished, timeless look that enhances your natural features and makes you feel like the very best version of yourself.

With over 20 years of experience in the beauty industry, I understand that every bride is different. I'll take the time to get to know you, understand your vision and create a look that feels completely personal to you.

There's nothing more special than helping a bride feel beautiful and confident as she gets ready to walk down the aisle.

Your bridal experience includes:

  • A personal consultation to discuss your wedding plans, makeup preferences and vision.

    Firstly I want to say that I contacted Poppy a few months prior to my wedding asking about product ingredients as I have a severe nut allergy.

    She was brillant & went above and beyond to make sure the products were safe, sending me photos of all ingredient lists and making sure the trial took place in a safe environment.

    We had a trial, she listened to what I wanted and if something wasn’t right she changed it.

    On the day she did my make up along with my two bridesmaids she was chatty lovely and I thoroughly enjoyed having her as part of my morning. Plus the make up was fabulous.

    I hired Poppy to do my make up for my wedding on 24th Septemeber. She was very professional, kind and caring. She always kept in touch throughout and was always very accommodating. I'm not one for wearing make up but was made to feel a million dollars. Poppy you are a legend, once again, thank you.

    Poppy is by far the best make up artist going! She's absolutely amazing, booked her in for a renewal wedding & she sure made us feel special. My sister is so very fussy about her make up, but Poppy pulled it off so much that my sister says shes only ever let this lady do it again (that says a lot). She works very quick with a brilliant outcome. Couldn’t fault her work at all, I would 110% book yourself in for this incredible artist. I will be posting some photos once the photographer sends them over!!! Thanks you so much.

    I met Poppy for my first ever make up session for a trial for my daugters wedding. I was made to feel completely relaxed and comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Needless to say, I booked Poppy for my daughters wedding for us and the bridesmaids... the day went well. Poppy made a fabulous job of all of us ladies, especially the bride.. We all looked and felt amazing. Would highly recommend Poppy, a lovely friendly lady.. very happy. Many thanks Poppy. x
