Exceptionally You....
I’ve worked in the wedding industry now for 8 years and each wedding is so personal and such an honour to be a part of. There is nothing more heart warming than being welcomed into the family & friend circle on the morning of the wedding and being treated like one of the bridal party. To share in such special moments and help create the biggest day of your life is so magical and is why I do what I do!
When you book me for your wedding, the day will be secured and exclusive to you. I only ever take on 1 wedding per day so you have my undivided attention and I can be on hand until the moment you walk down the aisle. When you book me as your Makeup Artist, I use my extensive knowledge to gently guide you all to being ready on time. I’ve done this so many times before that I know exactly when you should be sitting in my chair, exactly when you should be popping the champagne and exactly when you should be getting into your dress! On top of my regular makeup duties, I have been known to put the kettle on, pop the cork, zip up dresses, even re-pierce an earring on one occasion! So when you book me you know I’ll be going above and beyond to ensure all you have to do is enjoy being pampered and making memories to last a lifetime.
Makeup Trials are now exclusively held at my location (LE16 8YD) so I can ensure you’re receiving a relaxing and enjoyable service. Trials are held on weekdays only between 9am and 3pm so please keep this in mind when booking. Trials last around 2 hours giving us the chance to discuss allllll the details for your wedding such as colour scheme, hair, wedding dress etc. When we’ve got this all covered, I will take the time to work with you and tailor the perfect look to complement your personality and your day. At every stage of the process I encourage communication and offer unlimited access to me on email if you need it. On top of this, I send out information sheets all throughout your journey so you know exactly how to make the most out of your wedding day beauty and preparing for your big day!
Before the wedding morning I also send out a personalised itinerary so you’re fully aware of how the morning will look and what to expect. I can also work alongside your hair stylist for that extra reassurance. If needed, for those of you with a large bridal party (and an early start!) I’ll source a 2nd Makeup Artist to guarantee you’re all given the attention to detail and service you deserve.
If you need suggestions for other fabulous wedding vendors, I’m happy to share my recommendations with you. You can also find a few of my favourites on my blog page.
My kit has been built of high quality, tried and tested products over the years. They have all been personally selected by me for their longevity and performance both on and off the camera. In my kit you can find brands such as Charlotte Tilbury, Nars, Mac, Tom Ford, Illamasqua and more….

Based in Northamptonshire, I am local to Rushton Hall, Barton Hall, Dodford Manor, Flore House, Hothorpe and The Woodlands, Kelmarsh Hall, Kilworth House & Hotel and Fawsley Hall. I have worked at all of the above venues and would highly recommend any of them as the perfect backdrop to your wedding.
I am happy to offer a quiet service for brides who would rather not chat during their appointment. Please mention this during your initial enquiry and I will tailor your service accordingly.

Yvonne was amazing... From the moment I chose her she made me feel special. The trial was so relaxed but detailed, Yvonne answered all my questions, constant tips leading up to the big day. On the day of my wedding I felt like Yvonne was one of the bridal party, my now mother in law actually asked how many years we had been friends as she felt like we had been for years. Yvonne made us all look amazing and feel out of this world. She made us all feel so relaxed. We had lots of laughs and emotional moment and Yvonne really felt part of this. Thank you for doing my wedding make up. You are brilliant at what you do!!!!

Yvonne was a complete dream! From the makeup trial to the day she completely understood what i wanted and how i wanted to feel on my wedding day. She kept the makeup natural but stunning and truly felt like the best version of myself on the day. A huge thank you!

Couldn't speak more highly of my entire experience with Yvonne. From easy communication, to trial and the wedding day, she's been an absolute dream to work with and is incredibly talented. She understood exactly what I was after and we worked together to perfect the look. Will be recommending Yvonne to everyone I can!
