Wedding Makeup and Hair Artist in Worcestershire
Bridal hair and makeup across Worcestershire, from Broadway and the Vale of Evesham over to Worcester, Malvern and Droitwich. I am based in Cheltenham and travel to you, so you get ready where you are most comfortable.
Makeup and hair in Worcestershire
Weddings around Broadway and the Vale of Evesham are most of my work in the county, with special occasion bookings and lessons alongside them.
Bridal makeup and hair
A trial at my studio first, then the wedding morning itself, for you and your bridal party. On the day I come to you, whether that is a hotel suite, the family home or a room at the venue, and work to a running order agreed in advance so you finish last and unhurried.
Special occasion makeup
Black tie, christenings, milestone birthdays and the parties around them, anywhere in the county. A single appointment, wherever you are getting ready, or at my studio in Cheltenham.
Lessons and masterclasses
One to one, at your own dressing table or at my studio in Cheltenham. We work with your own kit and your own face rather than a professional kit you will never own, so you leave able to repeat it yourself.
Worcestershire wedding venues
I am independent, so none of these are venues I am attached to or booked through. It is a list of where I have worked across the county, from abbeys and moated manors to barn conversions. If yours is not on it that is fine, because I come to wherever you are getting ready, from a hotel suite to a farmhouse kitchen to a marquee in a field.

The Broadway estates sit right on the county line and are written up in full on my Cotswolds wedding page. If your venue is south of Broadway, towards Winchcombe, Tewkesbury or Gloucester, it is on my Gloucestershire page instead. Not getting married? I also teach makeup and hairstyling lessons.
Getting ready for a Worcestershire wedding
A clear, stress-free process from initial contact to your last dance.
1
I come to you
A hotel suite, the abbey's own guest rooms, a family home or a barn. I bring everything including my own lighting, so the room you are in is never the limiting factor.
2
Timings
I work the running order backwards from your ceremony time and send it to you in advance, so everyone knows when they are needed. As a guide, about an hour a person for hair and makeup together and a little longer for you, with time set aside for photographs of the dress going on.
3
The trial
Two to three hours at my studio in Cheltenham, exploring up to two variations, with a questionnaire beforehand and photographs of the finished look afterwards. The look is settled and written down long before the wedding.
4
How many I can cover
Up to five of you on my own, including the bride. For a larger party, or where the ceremony time leaves less room, I bring a second makeup artist or hairstylist, arranged in advance at £50 so the morning stays calm.
5
Travel and fees
On the morning I come to you, from Broadway and Willersey through Evesham, Pershore and Worcester up to Malvern, Droitwich and Kidderminster. A travel fee may apply depending on the distance from Cheltenham. I work it out and confirm it with your quote, so there are no surprises later.
What Worcestershire Brides Are Saying
Real experiences from brides who trusted me with their special day.
Amy Taylor-Mumford
Nadezhda and her team did an outstanding job with the hair and makeup for my wedding. Kind and considerate, she made it so easy to discuss my vision and was incredibly receptive to any changes I wanted. Her warm and lovely demeanor put me completely at ease, which was crucial as she was one of the...
Hannah Jones
I honestly could not be more pleased with how Nadezhda did my hair and makeup for my wedding. From the minute I met her at my trial i felt listened to and in safe hands and she did NOT disappoint. I also loved how comfortable she made everybody. Thank you for everything!x
Nikita Vyas
As someone who has never worn a lot of make-up, I was pretty nervous choosing a HMUA for my wedding. I knew I wanted my make-up and hair to look natural, clean and simple and Nadezhda did just that. Doing a trial prior to the day was a massive help, she talked me through each step, the products she...
Frequently asked questions
Do you travel to Worcestershire from Cheltenham?
Yes, right across the county, from Broadway and the Vale of Evesham to Worcester, Malvern and Droitwich. A travel fee may apply depending on the distance from Cheltenham, and I confirm the exact figure with your quote before you book.
Which Worcestershire venues have you worked at?
Stanbrook Abbey, The Wood Norton, Birtsmorton Court, Hanbury Hall, Chateau Impney and the Broadway estates among others. If your venue is not listed above, send it over and I will confirm straight away that your date works.
Do you cover Broadway and the Vale of Evesham?
Yes, and it is the part of the county I am in most often. Broadway and Willersey are a short run from Cheltenham. The Broadway estates are written up in full on my Cotswolds page.
What time do you arrive on a Worcestershire wedding morning?
Early enough that nothing is rushed and we finish with time to spare. I work the schedule backwards from your ceremony time, allowing about an hour a person for hair and makeup together and a little longer for you, then send it through in advance so you know exactly how the morning runs.
Do you offer a trial before the wedding?
Yes. Trials run two to three hours at my studio in Cheltenham and we explore up to two variations. I photograph the finished look and note every product so the wedding morning is a repeat of something you have already seen on yourself. Full pricing is on the prices page.
