wedding Hair and Make-up in Staffordshire?? ANY recommendations?? :) Australian bride needs help....

mrsbrookes2012, 6 December, 2011 at 11:12 Posted on Planning 0 13

Hi i'm new to all these forums but really need some help!! We are getting married at The Ashes venue in Staffordshire Moorlands in May and I am trying to oragnise my wedding day hair and make up via the internet from our home in Melbourne Australia. I am really struggling to find any information on mobile hair/make up artists or a salon anyone could recommend? I dont know the area at all and dont know anyone who has got married there before to ask for advice!

The Ashes website is great but only lists one or two make up artists (and judging by their websites) i'm not very impressed!! If anyone can recommend anywhere it would be much appreciated!

Many thanks Smiley smile

    I can't recommend anyone personally but if you visit www.thebridalartists.co.uk or www.makeupadviceforum.co.uk there are artists on there covering the whole of the UK. Juliet x

    I'm getting married at The Ashes too! Their website is alright, but a lot of their hair and makeup suppliers don't have websites, just facebook pages etc. You should have a look at The Ashes facebook page as they have a discussions section which has a couple of makeup and hair threads. I'm going with Emma Shackleton who seems pretty good, but have heard of others using either contour or the retreat. Hope that's useful, let me know if u need more ashes help/advice Smiley smile

    Thanks so much for your advice, I had 'liked' Emma Shackleton on facebook without even realising! The Retreat also looks good, I really want someone to come out to me (i'm lazy and think I will be stressing with other things on the morning of our wedding!) so will get in touch with them and Emma.

    When do you get married? The Ashes is such a beautiful place, very English and just what we wanted! The staff so far have been great and really helpful, especially with us being so far away! I hope you have a fabulous day and its everything you hoped for Smiley smile

    I am having Natalie Bartram as my hairdresser and she's so lovely, has done a few of my friends hair for their weddings and comes with brilliant recommendations. Her website is www.bridalhairspecialist.co.uk

    She lives in Staffordshire but travels across West Midlands, my wedding is in Birmingham.

    Wedding is in March, so creeping up quickly!

    The Ashes is lovely, such a beautiful venue. Have you had the chance to visit it much/at all? The staff are brilliant, very helpful and informative! We live down in Kent, so while the distance isn't quite in the same vein as Australia, they've been great helping us plan it from a distance away.

    Let me know if there's any other suppliers you need help with deciding on. We went to see a few various ones before we settled on the ones we did Smiley smile
