 Meet MY Team

 

Laura trained via the same BA pathway as Jess. After completing her training at Southampton Solent University, Laura exclusively assisted Jess on weddings and destination weddings which have allowed her to learn from Jess’ wealth of expertise but hone her own makeup style. Laura's signature makeup style revolves around timeless natural glamour, enhancing her clients’ natural features while adding a touch of sophistication and radiance.

 

Hannah & Jess have been working together since 2019. Hannah's versatility shines as she seamlessly bridges across both hair and makeup. Hannah's specialisation lies in creating soft, modern, and textured up-do’s. This means she can craft beautiful hairstyles that have a contemporary touch while maintaining a soft and romantic feel. Her talent for taming even the most unruly hair is invaluable.

 

Lisa received her training at Hebe Hair salon, located in Trafalgar Square. After that, she worked at Fortnum & Mason's salon as their in-house stylist, catering to high-profile clients. This experience has given her a wealth of knowledge and the ability to handle different hair types and styles. Lisa is the queen of blow-drying, making her the go-to person for big bouncy blow dries.

"My makeup was better than anything I could have expected; it was soft and natural but lasted all evening and I didn’t need a single touch up or adjustment even after all the dancing. I would absolutely recommend Jess to anyone looking for a talented, kind, and genuinely lovely artist who makes everyone feel so comfortable and beautiful on the day."

 This is for you if…

  • You're looking for modern, radiant, elegant makeup: we pride ourselves on working with you to elevate your natural beauty whilst creating makeup looks that will last all day. 

  • Hollywood waves, & On-Trend, chic interpretations of the bridal updo: stylish, Tatler-worthy hair is our thing. 

  • You value an authentic relationship with your suppliers; we are a dependable team that believes in building genuine connections with our clients. We bring a calm and delightful presence throughout your wedding weekend. We always create a stress-free and enjoyable experience.

  • You want to feel like a million dollars for the whole 3 days of your destination wedding; this is the full showbiz experience and what says more ‘extra’ than an in-house hair and makeup team?! You’re worth it!

 

Maybe Not If…

  • You're specifically seeking full glam or heavily filtered makeup looks; our style may not align with your preferences.  

  • One-day hair and makeup coverage: if you only require hair and makeup services for a single day, our packages and services may not be suited to your needs. We primarily focus on providing comprehensive coverage for the duration of your destination wedding weekend.

  • You have a tight budget: The Destination Collective offers a luxury experience, and caters for brides who are looking to invest in themselves and their destination wedding experience.

 
 
 

Sounds amazing! How do i book you?

 

1.

 

Head over to the contact page on the website and send me an enquiry. Please provide as much detail as possible. I love to hear about your plans and vision for the day.

 

2.

 

I will send you the full pricing brochure. Once you’ve had a good read of all the information, we can set up a consultation call if you’re keen to chat further. I always actively encourage booking in a consultation call so you can ask me any questions you may have, and we can go over the details of your wedding. Choosing your hair & makeup artist is a personal choice, so it is really important to me that you have every opportunity to ask any questions and get a feel for how I work.

 

3.

 

If you decide we are the team for you then I will send you your proposal. Once this has been submitted and the booking fee has been paid - we are all yours! You can relax in the knowledge you have a truly amazing team looking after you. Don’t forget to look out for your welcome pack in the post!

 
 
 
 

your questions

 
 
  • Of course! I always ensure we have a trial first, so that you can relax in the knowledge that we’re a good fit. If you’re based in the UK, then we can arrange a trial here (which would either take place at my beautiful home studio in Whitstable, Kent, or somewhere halfway if you’re based elsewhere). If you’re based further afield, we can arrange a trial to take place a couple of days before your wedding at the destination of your ceremony. If your trial needs to take place a few days prior to the ceremony, I will always arrange a zoom consultation prior to flying out so we can go over as much detail as possible and I can start to build a picture of your hair & makeup vision.

  • Absolutely! My job as a destination wedding hair and makeup artist is threefold: to make you feel calm, to make you feel confident, and make you look amazing, all day! It’s part of my job to ensure that your hair and makeup will last all day and into the evening. I’ve hand selected the most beautiful, high-end products to create gorgeous glow without shine, and that beautiful romantic up-do without the humidity causing any frizz. I always account for a longer time getting ready when working abroad, because the key to getting flawless, lasting hair and make up is in the prep work. My team & I are very experienced when working abroad and have all the tips and tricks to keep you all looking flawless. We will also be on-hand for any hair & makeup touch-ups required, so you and your bridal party don't need to worry about a thing.

  • Yes we do, we don't want you to have to worry about any logistics when booking with us. We will more than likely hire a car so we can easily get from location to location. We do always readily welcome any location or accommodation suggestions you or your planner would suggest.

  • Your hair and makeup will always be with myself (Jess). The bulk of my time over the duration of the weekend will be spent with you, creating as many different hair & makeup looks as you wish. The reason I started working on destination weddings was because I wanted to offer my brides the luxury experience and peace of mind that come with having your hair & makeup artist on-hand for the entire weekend. I want you to enjoy every moment without worrying about anything. I now have a wonderful hair & makeup team that I trust implicitly to take care of your bridal party. If you would like to know more about my team then you can view their profiles here.

  • The synergy we have as a team means we excel at the experience that we bring you. For us this is more than just about providing you with amazing hair & makeup. We care very much about making you and your bridal party feel incredible. While professionalism is key, we create a fun and enjoyable atmosphere for you and your bridal party. We understand the significance of your wedding day and the joyous nature of the occasion. We bring a friendly and delightful presence that can contribute to a positive and relaxed atmosphere, allowing you to feel at ease and enjoy the process.

 
 

 

 

We Promise You…

The convenience and peace of mind that comes with having us as your team, available for the entire weekend. Ensuring that you and your bridal party can relax and enjoy every moment without worrying about your hair and makeup.
