So happy with our make up

Saffron was absolutely wonderful. She was so artistic and professional. I am so happy that I found her on hitched. She made my three bridesmaids and myself look absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day. I can't praise her highly enough. Nothing was too much trouble. Her professionalism is what a Hollywood star would expect. So blessed to have chosen her. Thank you .

Wedding day

Saffron was amazing from start to finish. She made us all look beautiful. Such a lovely lady who delivers exactly what you want on your special day. My bridesmaids and myself were all extremely happy and felt very glam. I can't recommend Saffron enough. Really flexible and helpful on the day. She helped me get into my wedding dress and made sure we had everything we needed to get through he day with our makeup. We will be returning to Saffron for any and every occasion we get an excuse to pamper ourselves and look amazing

5 stars are not enough for Saffron

Wow, what can I say except amazing! So professional, yet so easy to talk to and understanding. Saffron definitely knows what she’s doing and what make up goes with all different skin types. And not just a ‘one size fits all’. I was made to feel at ease and worked her magic on me and my ladies. I would definitely recommend booking in advance! Can’t recommend enough!

Incredible make-up artist

Saffron was incredible on my wedding day!! Honestly out of this world!! I have never experienced service like it!! I would NEVER go to anyone else for my make-up.

She helped me feel so calm and made sure everything ran so smoothly!

Saffron is MUCH more than a makeup artist she is literally the brides personal assistant and I honestly couldn’t have done it without her! Can’t wait to see all the footage and photos! Words just do not do justice for how amazing and special she is. As a bride you feel anxious and nervous about things running smoothly. Saffron went above and beyond to endure I felt comfortable and at ease on the morning and during my trial with her. She helped me get into my dress, made sure I had everything I needed to hand, packed up my bad, even sewed a button back onto my dress that had come off!!! I would recommend her a million times over to any bride! EVERY girl NEEDS a Saffron in their life xxxx

Fantastic makeup artist

Saffron was absolutely amazing and made my wedding day very special. She was very accommodating with timings and a true professional, we finished right on schedule and she was so prepared. She made myself, my mom and my bridesmaids feel very beautiful and I was very happy with our makeup! Would absolutely recommend her!

Lauren and Jake 07/08/2025

Saffron went out of her way to make every part of my wedding morning special. There was 7 of us that was having our make up done and saffron absolutely smashed it, we all looked amazing ❤️
We didn’t have a videographer for our wedding, but with the video saffron video part of my morning I now have a lovely video with my dad seeing me in my dress for the first time, a lovely bridesmaid reveal, also my brother seeing me in my dress.
Thank you so so much for what you have done I couldn’t ask for a better makeup artist for my special day xxxx

Amazing make up artist

Saffron was always going to be my first choice of doing my make up for my wedding… it was more than I could have ever of imagined. Even when I went to wash it off at 1am it was still perfect.
She helped with the whole timings of the day and even when my daughter started to cry she fixed her make up.
She was quick to respond to messages. Can’t thank her enough for the morning of my wedding. And also gave makeup touch up bags which came in handy.

The Very Best!

Saffron is kind and reliable. She immediately put me and my bridal party at ease. I actually came across Saffron as she did my makeup when I was a bridesmaid for a friend. I knew then, I had to have her for my own wedding. I now regularly book in with Saffron for event/occasion makeup. On the day of our wedding she came fully equipped from Stevenage to Down Hall. She was on time, professional and friendly. The little make-up kits you get to top-up throughout the day are really helpful. Saffron also gave me tips on additional products to purchase to be able to top-up on the day - this was handy as it was quite a warm day.
The timings were excellent, we had time to spare! It was a relaxed morning where I felt in safe, capable hands. Saffron was also available to help me get in my wedding dress and to support us with anything else too - nothing was too much trouble.

Everyone commented on how wonderful we all looked and there were comments on how our make-up stayed throughout the whole day/evening.

I would 100% recommend Saffron - you're missing out if you don't.

Saffron is talented, professional and a joy to be around.

I can't recommend Saffron enough. From start to finish, she was warm, friendly, and so much fun to have around. During my trial, she listened to everything I wanted, offered great suggestions, and encouraged me to try something I wasn’t sure about which turned out I loved! She also made adjustments where needed to make sure I was completely happy.

On the wedding day, she brought a sense of calm to a chaotic morning! She did makeup for five of us, working effortlessly with our hairdresser, and everyone was so happy with the results. Although it was a cramped and very warm room, she remained professional, energetic, and such a joy to be around.

She is truly an expert at what she does, and I felt fantastic thanks to her work. She brought great energy to the day and I still have very fond memories of my wedding morning.

Would choose Saffron again!

Saffron did my wedding in May 2024, knew instantly she was the make up artist for me when I went for my trial! So professional, knowledgeable and a genuinely lovely person who made me and my bridesmaid feel so comfortable letting me know every strp she was doing. I also couldn't fault her, she listened to what everyone wanted and we all looked incredible plus giving general advice and products to buy. Wouldn't hesitate to book her again!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ absolutely incredible

I cannot recommend Saffron enough! From the very first trial, she made me feel so comfortable and truly listened to what I wanted for both my formal wedding and my big day. She created a beautifully natural look for the formal event and then an absolutely stunning look for my wedding day—both exactly what I envisioned!

Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she was so attentive to my preferences, making sure I felt confident and radiant. Not only was her makeup artistry flawless, but her ability to work with different skin tones was truly impressive. She nailed every single look for my bridal party, which included Black, mixed, and white skin tones—a rare and valuable talent!

My bridesmaids, who had never liked professional makeup before, were so happy by how amazing they looked and would also highly recommend her.

Saffron waas an absolute gem to have on the wedding morning. Her calm, friendly presence kept everyone relaxed, and she was an incredible communicator throughout the whole process.

Oh and to mention- she made us all cute little touch up bags for the day- all included :)

Best Make-up 👌 🥰

Saffron was recommend to me by my friend to do my wedding makeup and I couldn't have been happier with the experience.
Right from the start with arranging a makeup trial all the way through to the big day, it all went perfectly.
Saffron is so lovely and makes you feel at ease right away. She takes her time listening to your makeup ideas and gives suggestions on what she thinks could work as well.
On the big day, Saffron was super organised and made the getting ready process easy, stress free and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Saffron and will be back to her if I need my makeup doing in the future.

Flawless glam and beyond expectations!

I’ve known Saffron since 2012 back when I worked as a Makeup Artist myself. Her work has always been flawless, so when I got engaged, I was thrilled that she was available for my big day. Although I could have done the makeup myself, I wanted to feel pampered and trusted that her work would be nothing short of perfection.

During the trial Saffron made me feel so comfortable and understood exactly the look I was going for. On the wedding day, she was calm, professional, and an absolute joy to have around, which truly helped ease my nerves. The makeup she did for me and my bridesmaids was flawless, long-lasting, and looked stunning both in person and in photos. We received endless compliments throughout the day!

Saffron went above and beyond, she helped me get into my dress, ran around to make sure everything was perfect, and provided us with touch-up kits to use throughout the day.

I can’t recommend her enough to any bride looking for someone talented, reliable, and truly lovely to work with. She made me feel like the best version of myself, and I’ll always be so grateful for her amazing work!
