Hair & Makeup
Most couples book a trial session before the day itself — this is worth treating as seriously as booking the artist, since it's your only chance to adjust the look before it matters.
What to look for
- A portfolio of real bridal work (not just editorial shoots) in a style close to what you want.
- Availability to travel to your venue or getting-ready location on the morning of the wedding.
- A trial included in the price, ideally scheduled a few months out rather than the week before.
- Clarity on how many people (bridal party, mothers) are covered in the quote.
Questions worth asking
- Is a trial included, and when should we book it?
- Will you travel to our venue, and is there a travel charge?
- How many people can you do on the morning, and how long will that take?
- What products do you use, and can you accommodate sensitive skin or allergies?
Typical price range in Scotland
A bridal hair-and-makeup trial plus wedding-day session commonly costs £150–£300 for the bride; additional bridal party members are usually charged separately, often £45–£80 each per service.
