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.
