Kind Words from my brides

“Last Saturday I had the most incredible wedding day, which was started perfectly with the help of Gabby!! From the moment she arrived at the house to get me and my 3 bridesmaids looking gorgeous, she was instantly part of the family. Gabby kept the morning so calm and organised, and made me feel very relaxed right up until I left! It definitely helped that shes a lovely bubbly character - and got very into the morning playlist at times too!

When I met her at my trial in July, she took all of my makeup concerns and opinions into account, and the end result was perfect for me! She is amazingly adaptable, and even though one of my bridesmaids was worried about her blemished skin, Gabby made her look incredible and feel so comfortable on the day. It’s also worth noting that it was 30 degrees on my wedding day, and my makeup stayed put surprisingly well!!

I found Gabby on Make me Bridal and I’m so thankful that I did. I could not have wished for a better makeup artist/honorary family member! Would highly recommend Gabby to anyone, and massive MASSIVE thank you again Gabby - you are amazing! Thank you for being a part of my day, and being so great! We all looked and felt beautiful.” Lucy

Gabby did my hair and makeup for my wedding in France at the end of August 2020 (as well as hair for 4 bridesmaids and hair/makeup for my mum). Despite all the chaos in the world, Gabby never wavered in being a part of the day and her communication was superb.
I felt a million dollars on my wedding day and it was all thanks to Gabby. My hair and makeup were done with so much love and care - Gabby is a true perfectionist and makes you feel so special and comfortable. She was a true pleasure to be around and my bridesmaids and I had so much fun with her on the wedding morning getting ready and chatting together.
Gabby was originally booked to come to my wedding with an assistant from the UK. When the quarantine rules were implemented, Gabby’s original assistant was no longer able to attend. Rather than worry me with this, Gabby arranged for another HMUA in France to assist her (and there was no change in the price). Alexia (the replacement assistant) was also superb and the hair and makeup she did for my bridesmaids was just beautiful.
Gabby also grew up near Bordeaux and so speaks fluent French. It was very useful for her to be able to act as interpreter with the florist on the morning of the wedding (as my French is pretty woeful!).
I also had a wonderful trial for my wedding with Gabby a couple of weeks before my wedding (as did my mum). She was so lovely and instantly made me feel relaxed and pampered. Although I had some ideas, I wasn’t really set on what I wanted, but Gabby is experienced to know what will make you look your best without pushing ideas or styles on you. She has some stunning accessories to be able to sample (but again doesn’t force them on you in any way).

Gabby has taken so many precautions in light of COVID-19 - her approach cannot be faulted.

I feel like I found my perfect HMUA and also made a friend. Thank you so much Gabby! 😘

Gabby was absolutely fantastic on my wedding day and on the run up to it, even with all the uncertainty and changes involved. She was so calm and supportive and made me look and feel amazing on the day. 100% recommend!

“Gabby did my make-up for my wedding day down in Devon and I couldn’t have been happier with it.
She has such a lovely warm personality that I think made it all the more special. I sent across lots of ideas and she used her excellent skills and expertise to create a really natural yet striking look for me. She is incredibly organised and I felt completely at ease throughout the whole process.

I couldn’t recommend Gabby more highly.”

“My dream as a Bride was to be a Princess but I’ve never worn makeup and wouldn’t know a bronzer from a highlighter! At my trial, Gabby was super friendly, and managed to relax me. From my (most likely confusing) requests, she managed to create a look that was perfect for me! I felt comfortable being in makeup, but also felt like a Princess!

On the day I had so many compliments! I was shocked that by the time my reception came around (at 7pm - my makeup was put on about 10am) - that my makeup was still perfect (even despite a few girly tears during the ceremony!) and I was still getting compliments!

Gabby was happy dancing around my photographer (who was taking photos are she was princess-fying me) and listening to my George Ezra on repeat playlist (sorry!)! Her friendly persona calmed me down, even when a last minute panic (late bridesmaid!) was making me fret.

I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough! You will be in safe hands with her - for both hair and makeup, she will listen to all your requests (even quirky ones like mine - I wanted bold blue eye makeup) and will be the smiliest person you’ll ever meet.

Thank you for helping this punk-rock girl become a Princess on her special day.”

Gabby was absolutely amazing when she did hair and make up for 4 of us for my wedding on 1st Nov. My numbers kept changing due to covid restrictions and she was super flexible, and she also worked magic on my hair 🥰 she made me feel so relaxed and was a trooper working all morning in a mask and visor. I can’t thank you enough! Emily x
 
“Well what can I say about this talented Lady.

I found Gabby on make me bridal, her profile was amazing and the message she sent I knew each job she did would be unique and to how each bride wants to look on her big day. Gabby is extremely friendly and a great calming influence.

She planned out exactly when and who would have their make up done on the day. During my make up trial she made me extremely relaxed and I knew I was in good hands. On my wedding day even with the stress of bridesmaids and getting everything & everyone ready Gabby kept me calm. Emma, Gabby’s friend who helped do the make up on my bridesmaids is extremely talented also and helped keep everything under control and running smoothly.


Gabby made my wedding day morning unforgettable and I couldn’t thank her more for the talented make up she did on everyone and her calm manner. Thank you Gabby for everything your extremely talented I’m so glad I found you.”

Gabby did my hair and make up for my wedding. I highly recommend Gabby for hair and make up and I just want to say a huge thank you to Gabby for doing my wedding make up and hair post covid lock down. Gabby was very professional and followed all the guidance wearing a mask and shield. Gabby was also an amazing support to me as I was getting ready for my wedding, so calming and kind. Gabby did such an amazing job making me look and feel pretty. I couldn’t have chosen better. Thank you so much, you will never know how much you helped me in the lead up to my wedding ceremony.
