Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you travel to?
For 2023, I will be focusing on weddings in the Melbourne CBD and inner suburbs- Richmond, Collingwood, Abbotsford, St Kilda, Coburg, Brunswick, Preston, Thornbury, Footscray, Yarraville and surrounds. I also will take bookings travelling to bayside and in the Peninsula region (travel fees apply for beyond 10km of my home base). Sorry, I am not currently taking on any more regional bookings in 2023.
I also travel interstate, so get in touch if you need some magical Melbourne vibes for your big day.
What kind of weddings do you specialise in?
I specialise in weddings that are non-traditional, eclectic, edgy, off-the-beaten path. The wild heart couples, the cool cats, the rebel brides going their own way. I don’t do tradition and I don’t do beige!
I adore doing small, intimate shindigs, same-sex weddings, wild elopements, backyard weddings, wedstivals, wild warehouse love fests, humanist weddings- you name it! If it’s not-your-average nuptial, count us in!
How far in advance do you book out?
For peak dates, I usually book out 8-12 months in advance. Most of the Saturdays in 2023 have already been snapped up, however I do have a small handful left. Sometimes things change, so feel free to get in touch, particularly if you are having a weekday wedding- I often have availability during the week around other work.
Will you organise my wedding day prep schedule?
Yes, absolutely. After your trial, I’ll get in touch with a suggested schedule for your bridal party, taking into account what time you need to get dressed, whether you are having prep photos taken beforehand, and what time you all need to be ready for.
I’ll send this through to you a few weeks before so you can check that it works for you. I like to take this off your hands as I know how long I’ll need for each person and what’s a good order to work in so that your makeup and hair stays fresh. Totally open to whatever timing needs you have and of being aware of the movements of your bridal party, so if you need to make any changes, we can do that.
What do you need from me before the big day?
Before the big day, I’ll send you a quote with a booking fee amount, which will lock in your date for you. I’ll also send you a wedding contract for your big day for you to read and sign. Once this is all done, your day is locked in and we’ll start our planning.
The balance of your wedding beauty services will be due 28 days before your big day. You can pay that as a lump sum or in instalments- whatever suits you. I’ll send you a questionnaire with some questions so I can tailor my service to you and be aware of any allergies or special needs of yourself or the bridal party. I’ll consult with you on your look and organise a time for a trial so that we can try things out and chat further.
