# The Bridal Experience

Soft Timeless Bridal Makeup For Your Wedding Day

Soft, timeless bridal makeup designed around you.

Includes Bridal Preview + Wedding-Day
Your bridal makeup experience is designed around you, with a focus on creating a look that feels polished, timeless, and true to your personal style.
The Bridal Experience includes both your Bridal Preview and wedding-day makeup, giving us time to create and refine your look before the big day.
THE BRIDAL PREVIEW
Your Bridal Preview is dedicated time to create and perfect your wedding-day look. We’ll talk through your inspiration and preferences, customize your makeup, and make any adjustments needed until it feels just right.
Bridal Previews are held in studio and typically take 1.5–2 hours. For destination weddings, your preview may take place on location.
THE WEDDING DAY
I’ll recreate your chosen look with a calm, detail-focused approach so you can relax and enjoy your wedding morning. Your makeup will be designed to look beautiful in person, photograph naturally, and last throughout the celebration.

## FAQ

### What is required to reserve my wedding date?

A signed contract and $100 non-refundable booking retainer are required to officially reserve your wedding date. Your date is not considered booked until both are received.

### How are travel fees calculated?

For locations within driving distance, travel is calculated at $1 per mile round trip from Helena, Montana. Depending on the distance and required start time, overnight lodging may also be required.
For weddings requiring air travel, the client is responsible for necessary travel expenses, including airfare, lodging, and ground transportation. All anticipated travel costs will be discussed prior to booking so you know what to expect.

### Do you have a minimum for wedding bookings?

Yes. A minimum of four makeup applications is required for on-location wedding bookings.

### How many people can you accommodate?

I work independently to ensure every person receives the same level of care and attention. The number of services I can accommodate depends on your ready-by time and wedding-day schedule. Once I have those details, I’ll create a timeline to make sure everything runs smoothly.

### Is a bridal preview required?

A Bridal Preview is a standard part of my Bridal Experience and is highly recommended, giving us dedicated time to create and refine your wedding-day look ahead of time. In certain circumstances, the preview may be waived and wedding-day makeup can be booked on its own.
For destination weddings, your Bridal Preview can be coordinated around your wedding weekend and may take place before your rehearsal dinner, welcome party, or another pre-wedding event.

### How far in advance should I inquire about my wedding date?

The sooner, the better! You’re welcome to reach out as soon as you know your wedding date. While I typically begin confirming my availability and booking weddings around 4–6 months before the date, I’m happy to add earlier inquiries to my list. When it gets closer, I’ll reach out with my availability and booking information.
