Bridal Trials

A little snippet from a recent interview with the guys over at Yamba Weddings. You can check out the entire interview here https://www.yambaweddings.com.au/post/meet-the-supplier-nicky-fletcher-makeup-artist

“Do you think it’s worth doing a trial before the wedding day? Why?

Bridal trials are a great idea for a number of reasons. Firstly, they give you the opportunity to meet your artist. Makeup Artists and Hair Stylists play a huge part on your wedding day; they could potentially be with you for up to 7 hours, so it’s important that you choose someone you are happy to have in your space. It’s also a good opportunity to bounce ideas off your artist if you are unsure of the look you are after. This will save time on the day, and will ensure that you are both on the same page so there are no surprises on your special day. If you are unfamiliar with the artist’s work, it will give you the chance to see if their style is suited to your needs and guarantee that you know exactly what you are going to get. A trial also gives you the chance to see how the makeup is going to hold up over the day as well.”

Rachel & Brenton

Rachel and Brenton wrapped up the year that was 2020. When Rachel booked me as her MUA I remember thinking, “what kind of wonder woman plans a Wedding a few days before Christmas?” I’m flat out organising Christmas, let alone adding one of life’s biggest occasions into the mix. Then I met Rachel, ridiculously cruisy and super chilled. That’s the kind of person that organises a Wedding right before Christmas.

Chelsea & Scott

I often ask my clients how much makeup they wear on the regular. I’ve found that a “natural look” on a client that doesnt usually wear much makeup is completely different to a natural look on a client that regularly wears a full face of makeup.
So when Chelsea requested a natural look on her Bridal Trial, I casually asked the question “do you often wear much makeup?” I heard her Mum giggle from the kitchen before she proudly announced that Chelsea is a Glam Makeup Artist with a 42k following on Instagram. Now I’m not going to lie, I kinda started to get a little clammy. Nothing like sweating under pressure. Lucky for me, Chelsea is just the sweetest chick ever and doesnt seem to be bothered by a prufusely sweating MUA. Head over to @mzdior_xx and check out how crazy talented this chick is!

Bri & Cody

Sometimes the best made plans…. Bri and Cody had planned to marry in the beautiful coastal town of Wooli. Thanks to Covi D they changed their plans to a more intimate Wedding at Bri’s family property on the river in Woodburn. I don’t know what Plan A looked like, but Plan B was just stunning, a gorgeous ceremony on the riverbank of the Woodburn River.
