Ruby & Sam

This was such a fun wedding to be a part of. When Ruby told me that they were having a 70s disco themed Wedding I thought to myself ‘you really have to commit to a themed wedding to be able to pull it off. Go hard or go home’. And go hard they did! These guys were so awesome! It was so much fun to pull out some 70s style makeup looks, I even got to use that blue eyeshadow I always joke about #iykyk 
A+ level of commitment from all the guests too, complete with some grooooovy styling and did somebody say “mechanical bull”. What a celebration!

Mel & Jake

This is a fitting wedding to share considering the weather we’ve had over the last week. Mel and Jake took out the Wettest Wedding Award for 2024 (I think we know who is going to take it out this year….). It rained solid all day long for Mel’s spring wedding last year. I am so grateful that Mel was the most chilled Bride ever and took the constant downpour in her stride.

Autumn Wedding Availability

We are back into the swing of things and I am trying to work out how we are almost at March already? It’s going to be another one of those years isn’t it? It’s been a slower start to the year for Weddings compared to previous years, and I’ve got to be honest, I’m not upset about not having to do any summer weddings this season. Summer weddings on the North Coast are a gamble. I do get disappointed for my Brides when I spend 7 hours working on a bridal party, only for them to step out into 40 degree heat and three thoooooousand percent humidity. That’s why the cooler months of Autumn and Spring are so popular for weddings. Even winter here on the North Coast is a beautiful time of the year to get married, the days are warm and there is very little chance of rain.

I still have availability for May and June, and the popular dates of the second half of the year are starting to fill up. Send me a message if you would like me to be your Bridal Makeup Artist!

Bre & Brad

I had the pleasure of being Bre’s Bridal Makeup Artist for her beautiful country wedding last Spring. I was fortunate enough to witness the cutest “first look” with Bre and her bridesmaids, followed by a first look with her parents. If you have the time make sure you include a first look with your nearest and dearest, they are the sweetest, such beautiful memories.

Bre’s Review: “I’m glad I chose Nicky to be a part of my day. She was a pleasure to have around while getting ready for the big day, nothing was a drama. Nicky communicated well during the lead up to the wedding. All my girls were super stoked with their makeup, can’t thank her enough. Would highly recommend for any occasion!” – Bre

Alana & Josh

I headed back down to Yamba for Alana and Josh’s beautiful Spring wedding last September. Alana’s wedding was a perfect example of why you should hire ‘Professional Wedding Vendors’ – halfway through the morning we lost power. No problemo for ol luv here with the paint brushes, big problemo for the hair chick with the hot styling tools. Now the first rule of Wedding Day is: you do not talk about Wedding Day. The second rule of Wedding Day is: you do NOT stress the Bride out. Thankfully Alana was smart and hired the best of the best in Wedding Vendors, and @jennarationhairandbeauty handled the situation with minimal fuss and zero stress. Be smart like Alana!

Also, this is why we allow extra time!

Emily & Rhys

“You have exceeded all of my expectations, THANK YOU!” To hear Emily’s reaction when she took her first look at her bridal makeup just made my heart so happy.

Emily and Rhys exchanged vows on the waterfront at the Blue Dolphin Holiday Resort in Yamba, followed by a reception (and an outfit change!) at the Yamba Bowling Club.

Emily’s Review: “Nicky did such an incredible job with our makeup. I have never felt so pretty, I can’t praise her enough! Thank you for being a part of the most amazing and perfect day of my life. I can see why people speak so highly of you Nicky”. – Emily

Sophie & Sam

Sophie and Sam celebrated their love with the prettiest garden wedding at Sam’s family property. The sweetest of bridal looks for the sweetest bride.

Sophie’s kind words: “Nicky took the time to understand my vision for my makeup and tailored her approach to suit my individual style and features. She was incredibly patient and answered all of my questions with a smile. Her makeup artistry is truly exceptional. She created a flawless, natural look that accentuated my features and made me feel radiant on my wedding day. Not only did she do an amazing job on my makeup, but she also transformed my mum, mother-in-law, and two bridesmaids into stunning versions of themselves .I cannot recommend Nicky enough. She is not only a talented makeup artist but also a kind and caring person who will make your wedding day even more special”.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!
Another huge year has come to an end and I would like to thank all of my beautiful clients for your support this year. I have had the pleasure of being a part of almost 40 weddings this year, 5 formals, Debs and numerous special occasions. I absolutely love being a makeup artist and I hope that you can see that passion in the work that I do. Each booking, review and recommendation keeps me doing what I love, and I’m so grateful.

I have a lot of new portfolio work planned for the start of the year, and as per usual all those plans will go out the window once I hit my completely over committed Autumn Wedding Season, and then we’ll regroup again in July. I know how it goes now.

I’ll be taking a break over the Christmas period and I’ll be back on deck on Monday 13th January.

Wishing you all a safe and wonderful Christmas!

Love Nicky x
