About
Hey I'm Lauren,
I am hair and makeup artist based in the Warwickshire countryside. I cover the Costwolds, Oxfordshire & Warwickshire primarily but do regularly travel anywhere I'm needed. I have mastered the art of being the perfect calming, relaxing energy that brides need on their wedding mornings and enjoyed over 1000 weddings during my career to date.
I pride myself on being 'different' from the rest in that I am all about naturally enhancing the gorgeous features you already have. I believe that the right makeup, applied properly can make you look like the most beautiful version of yourself. You should still feel and look like yourself on your wedding day, so I won't do any drastic contouring or cake you in unneccessary amounts of makeup.
I've quickly became very established and highly sought after. I have won over 20 awards to date and I am a recommended supplier for a lot of prestigious venues across the Cotswolds and Oxfordshire. I regularly do destination weddings and have been fortunate enough to have been flown to Paris, Champagne, Vilamoura, Majorca, Rome, Copenhagen, Santorini and even Singapore. At one stage I ran a team of over 25 other artists and have recently come back to weddings myself full time to give my brides the best possible services.

Reviews for Lauren Wheeler Artistry
Simply wonderful!
So happy I went with Lauren!
Amazing - thank you Lauren!
On my wedding morning, Lauren was the exact same and made the whole bridal party feel calm yet excited! All the things I was nervous about, she kept reassuring me was totally normal and fine - and this is before we get to the hair and make up!
Lauren followed my brief completely and gave me a glowy, peachy, pink finish I asked for and my hair was absolutely beautiful. It lasted all day and all night, even in 30° heat! I was so pleased with my look and my bridal party loved their make up too.
Thank you Lauren - you were the most fantastic addition to my wedding morning & I highly recommend your work to any bride!
Amazing wedding day
The thing I was most worried about was my hair as I wanted to keep my natural curl pattern but give them more shape with the curling iron but since my hair is very fine it usually doesn't last long. As the expert she is Lauren maintained my hair pattern while giving it extra shape and making it last the whole day even after dancing all night long.

Extremely disappointed and let down
I put a huge amount of time and care into selecting a makeup artist for my wedding, and sadly, I could not have been more wrong in choosing Lauren.
Just 38 hours before my wedding, Lauren cancelled—via email at 9:30pm. Thankfully, I happened to see it, but when I tried to follow up with phone calls, I received no response. She later stated she was in hospital, which of course is a difficult situation, and I hope she’s okay. However, that doesn't excuse the way this was handled.
At such a crucial and sensitive time, a responsible and experienced professional would have arranged cover in her absence and then informed me of that plan. That is what any bride reasonably expects, and when I reached out to other makeup artists, they confirmed this is standard practice. Instead, Lauren vaguely mentioned she had "put a post out" to see if someone might be available. I was left in a state of panic, scrambling to find a replacement at the last minute, with no guidance or support from her.
The day before my wedding, instead of soaking in the excitement and tying up final preparations, I spent it in complete stress trying to secure a last-minute hair and makeup artist. It was distressing and took away from a time that should have been joyful.
I expect Lauren may respond saying she followed her terms and conditions and notified me in writing—as agreed. But from a basic human and professional standpoint, sending a late-night email and then ignoring all calls the day before a client’s wedding is simply unacceptable. Out of decency, she should have called directly or had someone contact me, and more importantly, she should have arranged an alternative artist and reassured me.
Luckily, I was able to find someone who could do my hair and make up last minute, and I actually preferred their work. Nonetheless this experience left a significant shadow my wedding I would strongly urge others to think carefully before relying on Lauren for such an important occasion.
Amazing hair and makeup
Beautiful wedding hair & make up
My hair held all night and I got so many compliments on my make up.
I can’t recommend Lauren enough, she’s so talented, kind, calm and genuine and everything you need the morning of your wedding.
Thank you for making me feel beautiful 💕
Beautiful hair and makeup for a special day
The makeup she did was beautifully natural and stayed flawless all day, as did the hair! I truly felt like a goddess, and for the first time, I looked at myself and genuinely thought "Wow, I look amazing!" That feeling of confidence was incredible, and it’s all thanks to Lauren’s talent.
I would highly recommend her to anyone. She’s kind, down-to-earth, and has a wonderful way of making you feel right at home on the most special day.
The most perfect makeup for my engagement shoot!
Totally perfect!
From the moment Lauren came in on the morning of our wedding, she had such a calming & serene influence. It was exactly what we needed! As for the hair & makeup - wow 🤩 I was completely blown away by how gorgeous a look Lauren created for me. The makeup lasted all day & night without wearing off, smudging or creasing. I felt simply stunning and had so many compliments! Same with the hair - it really stood the rest of time, with plenty of windy moments outside and lots of dancing in the evening! 🪩 Lauren took my ideas and exceeded all expectations. I felt so gorgeous & confident because of Lauren and cannot recommend her highly enough to any brides wanting to accentuate their natural beauty on their special day.
Such a genuine person - just who you want to be spending the last few hours with on the morning of your wedding
Unbelievably professional
Wonderful Wedding Make Up
Absolutely wonderful!
Best of all, Lauren is the perfect person to have around on the morning of your wedding - we had a lovely long chat and she really helped to keep me feeling calm and relaxed on a day that could so easily have been filled with anxiety. Thank you so much Lauren, you were a huge part of my wedding day and I couldn’t be happier!
Brilliant!
Lauren made me look amazing, and also made four of my bridesmaids look and feel beautiful. Makeup lasted all day, even through happy tears and (lots) of dancing!
Brilliant service, thank you Lauren!
