Typically wedding dates book up anywhere from 6 months, to a year and a half in advance. Especially on Saturdays and the more popular months like June and September. That said, depending on the date or day of the week, you may have more time. As with any vendor you have your heart set on, it is best to book them asap. We book about 100 weddings a year and get dozens of inquiries a day, therefore many can be for the same dates.
Only one wedding per day is booked. We are not about a quick exit. We pride ourselves on our quality of work and making sure you receive the best possible service!

Appointments are held in our beautiful studio located in the heart of Attleboro, MA. Natural light consumes the space with a 180 degree view of downtown. There is plenty of free parking and is located within walking distance of the train nearest station. It is perfectly positioned in between Boston, Ma and Newport, RI so transportation and accessibility is ideal from multiple locations!
You should have skin free of makeup at the appointment and photos of potential looks are always helpful! Red carpet photos or photos from the gallery are best. Be sure to have all services and treatments done as you would for your event, such as: brow waxing/threading, spray tan, facial treatments ect. Have your hair styled similarly to how you would on the wedding day and a top in a similar cut and color to your dress. All these things effect your end result.
When spray tanning, avoid the face. Don’t worry, we will match your face to your body! If you are on any kind of Tretinoin, discontinue use 2 weeks before any makeup application.

Our signature looks have been described as Glowy, Ethereal, Feminine, Sultry, and Romantic. It is a quintessential bridal makeup that flatters everyone.
Our kits are stocked full of luxury brands like Charlotte Tilbury, Chanel, Dior and Hourglass. As well as PRO brands like MAC, Nars, RCMA and Face Atelier. These are only a handful of products we carry in our professional kits!

It is recommended you schedule a bridal preview within 3 months of the event date. We schedule previews so that the current season’s brides get priority. We want to make sure we give them our undivided attention! Please note that trials are not held Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays, as we are typically on location at weddings.
We do not offer true bridal trials before booking. If you would like to schedule a regular in-studio appointment to meet and to test run a general makeup application, that is up to the clients discretion. Please note, we work on a first come, first serve basis. With the demand and the number of inquires we get daily, we are unable to hold dates. It is highly recommended that you look though our Google reviews, and review our Instagram gallery, to see if our work resonates with you.

Gratuity is appreciated, but we don’t feel like it is appropriate to do that for our clients. If you decide to offer gratuity, we want it to be because you chose to based on your experience!

Your makeup will only look as good as your skin! Make sure to hydrate and exfoliate leading up to the wedding day, and get on a proper skincare routine. If you have it in your budget to see a professional, we highly recommend doing so.
Getting Hydro-facials or Dermaplanning facials with an esthetician starting 6 months to a year in advance is also a huge plus. They can dramatically effect the overall wear and look of the makeup.
If you are a local bride we typically refer Angela Zatzos from Luxe Studio Spa: www.luxestudiospa.com
