BOOKING + FAQ's

HOW DO I RESERVE MY WEDING DATE?

The first step in the booking process is to fill out a bridal inquiry form. Once I receive your inquiry, I will reach out through the provided contact info to finalize details.

 

Please take a look at my packaging & pricing, portfolio, and bridal booking below in full before filling out an inquiry.
​
Most brides book 6–12 months in advance, especially for peak wedding season and Saturday dates. You are more than welcome to inquire about a wedding date at any point, though it's recommended to book farther out in advance since I cant always guarantee last minute availability. Your date is officially reserved once a signed contract and non-refundable retainer are received. Because only one wedding is booked per day, availability is limited. 
 

ARE PREVIEWS REQUIRED?

Yes, previews are required to ensure I achieve the exact look you want on your wedding day. Think of your preview as a dress rehearsal for beauty. We will collaborate, adjust, and refine so on your big day you can relax knowing your look is already perfected & camera ready. There are options to either book a package or the preview separately through the A La Carte method before securing your date depending on your planning style.

IS THERE A SERVICE MINIMUM?

To reserve peak wedding dates, minimum booking amounts apply based on location and date availability. Most brides meet the booking minimum with their bridal package and bridal party services.

Knoxville & East Tennessee
$1,300 minimum booking amount applies to peak season Saturdays. Most bridal parties naturally meet this minimum through the bride’s services and bridal party hair and makeup. Bride-only bookings are not available on Saturdays and only available on weekdays, Sundays, and off-peak dates based on availability.

Nashville & Middle Tennessee
$1,300 minimum booking amount is required for all weddings. Bride-only bookings are not available in the Nashville & Middle Tennessee areas.

​

IS THERE A TRAVEL FEE?

 

I am based in Knoxville but travel throughout East & Middle Tennessee, the Smoky Mountains, Nashville and surrounding areas. Travel is included within these primary service areas with the booking minimum. A travel fee will apply if the booking minimum is not met.

For weddings outside of these areas including out of state and destinations, a custom travel fee may apply.

 WHY ARE BRIDAL BEAUTY SERVICES MORE EXPENSIVE?

​

Weddings can be costly, but we promise that we're not overpricing our services because of the bridal title. Pricing is structured to reflect the additional value we provide beyond the hair and makeup application. Regular appointments are about one to two hours per service, while bridal beauty services typically take longer because of the additional time we ensure for the bride. I also factor in the on-going communication and relationship I build with my brides, sometimes 6-12 months in advance. Once you secure your wedding day, we set up a preview, prepare the beauty prep guide for the bride and bridal party, personalize a wedding day timeline, and curate touch-up kits for everyone. Ultimately, you are paying for the complete bridal experience, not just the hair and makeup application.

 

 

LASHES + HAIR EXTENSIONS​

​

Strip lashes are included for the bride & the bridal party. If you are interested in lash extensions before the wedding, I have amazing lash artist referrals for my brides.

​

Clip-in extensions may be brought and added to your service for an additional charge since more time is needed to install and style them. If you are interested in purchasing custom clip-in extensions, you can set up a complementary consult with me to color match you. I also offer more semi-permanent hair extension options like Wefts & K-Tip installs.

​

​

DO YOU OFFER AIRBRUSH MAKEUP?

​

While I'm familiar with airbrush makeup, I prefer traditional makeup applications for a few reasons. With 16 years of bridal, photography, and tv/film makeup experience, I'm able to achieve the same if not better results with a traditional makeup application. Traditional makeup offers better coverage, suites a wider range of skin types, and allows for touch-ups when necessary. 

​

 

DO YOU OFFER PRE-WEDDING BEAUTY SERVICES?

 

After the contract is signed and retainer is collected, all of my brides receive discounted bridal beauty prep services! Including skin treatments, laser + injectables, hair extension installs, hair blonding + color, nail artistry, lash extensions, brow laminations + waxing, permanent makeup, & spray tans.

​​

​

WHAT NEEDS TO BE PROVIDED FOR THE ARTIST & STYLIST ON THE WEDDING DAY?

 

I come with a full professional hair and makeup kits, so you will not need to bring anything unless you have allergies or prefer certain products, which I recommend bringing them and will gladly use if you need. I usually customize your lip color, but I do recommend bringing your own lipstick if you are going to want to touch up your lips throughout the wedding. I prefer a well-lit room with natural lighting to get everyone ready in, but I do have professional lighting and a professional makeup chair. 

​

​

​

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE MY HAIR & SKIN ON THE WEDDING DAY?

 

Hair should be clean and fully dry, and either washed the night before or morning of. No heavy oils or product buildup. I don't provide wash & blowouts due to limited access to sinks and time, so hair must be smoothed and prepped beforehand.

​

Skin should be clean and moisturized. Avoid new skincare products 1–2 weeks before the wedding.

 

A detailed preparation guide is sent to the bride and bridal party a week before the wedding.

​

​

HOW LONG WILL MY HAIR + MAKEUP LAST?

​

Professional products and techniques are used to ensure long-lasting wear through humidity, outdoor ceremonies, and a full evening of celebration. Makeup is designed to photograph beautifully while still looking natural in person. Hair is structured for durability without feeling stiff or heavy. Touch-up kits are provided for the bride and bridal party to keep your makeup and hair fresh all day & night.

​

​

HOW MANY ARTISTS WILL BE ON-SITE?

 

I am your lead artist and typically have time for the bride and five additional services on the bridal party. If more services are required depending on your party size and timeline, additional artists and stylists may be scheduled to ensure a relaxed and efficient morning. Larger parties often require a team approach.

​

​

DO YOU OFFER TOUCH-UP OR EXTENDED DAY SERVICES?

​

Yes. Extended stay options are available for post-ceremony touch-ups, reception look changes, lip refreshes, etc.

​

Bride-only on-site touch ups: $150/hour

Bride + bridal party on site touch ups: $350/hour
