How far ahead should I book my wedding hair and make-up?

This is a very common question I get from clients, and there is no straight answer!

It really depends on the artist you are interested in.

Is it always the earlier the better?

Not necessarily. I don’t open my diary two years out, because I don’t like to make plans that far ahead at this point in my life and career.

I am a Summer 2027 bride. When should I enquire with you?

Now, pretty much! Winter is the time my diary gets filled up, and I get multiple daily enquiries.

I only take one booking a day and I don’t accept weddings every week, so I do get fully booked fairly quickly!

So what is the timeline?

For me, I take bookings up to 12 months in advance. Most of my weddings get booked between 6 and 9 months before, though!

Don’t leave it too late, because the people you like get booked quickly!

What if I want you for my 2028 wedding?

I can put you on a waiting list, and contact you when I open my diary for 2028, if you want!

I am not taking bookings for 2028 yet, unless it’s for some of bucket list venues (I just got a fabulous Ravello enquiry I cannot refuse)!

What if you are not available?

I always try my best to help! I have a wide network of artists everywhere in the world. It’s people I trust, whom I have worked with and can highly recommend!

If you are a 2027 bride, looking for an editorial hair and make-up artist for your wedding in London, or Europe, don’t hesitate to check my availability by contacting me here!
