2. Agreement & Retainer: To officially secure your date, we require a signed digital contract and a 50% non-refundable retainer. This ensures your date is exclusively yours—we do not hold dates without these two items.
3. The Preview: Once you’re booked, we will schedule your Bridal preview (ideally 2–3 months before the wedding). This is where we perfect your look and finalize your wedding day timeline.
Typically 8–12 months for peak season with September and October being the most popular months here in New England.

We recommend scheduling your makeup preview 2-3 months before your wedding. This gives us plenty of time to refine your look and even schedule another trial if you'd like.
To ensure we make the most of our time together, we kindly ask that you attend your makeup preview solo. This allows us to focus entirely on your vision without outside distractions. Our goal is to use every minute of your appointment to perfect your look and finalize all those important wedding day details!
We use a mix of our favorite consumer, luxury, and high performance cosmetics and professional skincare. (Ex: Charlotte Tilbury, CHANEL, Face Atelier, Makeup By Mario, Viseart, Tarte, Ardell, and Image Skincare to name a few)
