Calm mornings, glowing brides.
Everything for the bride and the people around her, from a trial at my studio to the moment you walk out.

How it works
From the first message to the morning.
Hold your date
Send me your date and venue. If I am free, a deposit secures the day.
The trial
At my studio in Bingham, a few months before the day. Come with a clean face, in a white or ivory top. We talk through the dress, the flowers and the photographs you love, build your look together, and I write every product down.
The morning
I arrive early, set up a calm corner and start with a mini facial and Charlotte Tilbury skincare. Then your makeup and your people, in an order that has everyone ready on time.
Filmed on the day
One morning, as it happened.

What her brides say
5 out of 5
Abi was such a lovely calming presence to have with me on my wedding morning. I felt so amazing, and my makeup lasted all day long. Abi perfectly captured what I wanted from my makeup, glam but natural and still feeling very much like me. With a real focus on glowy skin, Abi makes everyone look perfect.
Good to know
Before you book
Is there a minimum booking?
For Friday, Saturday and Sunday dates between April and October, the bride plus one other adult.
How does the deposit work?
A 50% deposit, paid by bank transfer, secures your date, and the balance is due a month before the wedding. The deposit is not refundable, because it holds the day for you alone.
Is the trial included?
It is priced separately and usually goes into your quote with the day itself, so one deposit covers both. A trial on its own does not hold your date: if you would like yours before booking, the deposit is due within three days of the trial.
What if our plans change?
Let me know in writing. Cancelling within six months of the wedding means the full balance is due. If you move your date, I will do all I can to be free for the new one, and it needs a new deposit.
Do you do hair?
No, I am makeup only. I work alongside some brilliant hair stylists, though, and I am always happy to recommend them.
Do you travel?
Travel is included within twenty miles of central Nottingham (NG1). Further away is charged by distance, with an overnight stay for venues more than an hour and a half away, and I travel abroad for weddings by arrangement.
What about a bigger bridal party?
Above five faces a second artist joins me, so the morning stays calm and everyone is ready on time. Numbers can change until two weeks before the day; anyone who drops out after that is still charged.
What is in your kit?
High-end, long-wearing products only: Charlotte Tilbury, Vieve, Laura Mercier, NARS and Victoria Beckham Beauty. Tell me about any allergies or sensitive skin before your trial.
Dates go quickly
Send me your date.
The date, the venue and who needs makeup. I reply within 48 hours to say whether I am free.
