Highly recommended 💗

I can’t recommend Sally enough! Together with her fantastic assistant they did the makeup for myself, my mum, my mother-in-law, and my 5 bridesmaids for my wedding. We were all blown away by how naturally beautiful we all looked.
Sally is incredibly talented, professional, thoughtful and kind. She took the time to listen to exactly what we wanted but also provided great suggestions to enhance our natural beauty. The makeup felt natural, flawless, and stayed on all day and night – as you can tell from the pasty photo! Some of my bridesmaids even kept their makeup on for the day after!
Sally’s patience and skill made us all feel so special.
Thank you for making us look and feel our best on such an important day! To all those future brides out there….get booking! 💗

Wow... I looked like a model out of a magazine

Sally is a dream, she is so talented with her make up and I looked stunning, she was so amazing and even took photos outside of me and the bridesmaids with the car, I would not look elsewhere, highly recommended
I couldn't have been happier with my makeup

Make up of dreams

I found Sally through Hitched, and she was super lovely right from the first email.
She did make up for myself, my mum, and 3 bridesmaids. Every single one of us looked and felt amazing.
I had a trial a couple of months before the wedding, where Sally recorded all products used to create the look. I did decide full lashes weren't for me, and Sally swapped them out for half lashes that I found much better.
She arrived bright and early on the day, and was so lovely and kind. My mum especially felt beautiful and thought Sally was a wonderful person, who had put her at ease.
The make up stayed put all day, and the whole bridal party looked glowing. She was super reasonable price-wise, and I can't recommend her enough!

Millie & Ben 2026 March Wedding


Sally took my wedding inspo photos and pinterestboard and made it my reality! My makeup was exactly what I wanted, natural, elegant, and it lasted all night long through tears and dancing.

Everyone complimented how stunning the bridal party looked, and it was all thanks to her amazing skills. I am truly grateful to have had her as part of our special day.

I am not based in Cornwall but Sally was always quick to reply to my emails and managed to book my trial in when I visited in October.

We can't thank her enough.

Makeup Magic

Sally did wedding makeup for me (the bride), my friend, sister, mother and aunt. Most went before me and had their backs to me, so when they got out of her chair and turned to me for the reveal, it was as though decades had been removed from them. They looked stunning but without being overly done up. Gorgeous. I didn't want a totally natural look, but preferred a balance between looking like I'd had my makeup done without being caked in makeup. She got it exactly right.

Excellent Professional Personal

Sally is a total expert and professional with a personal approach to what you want to achieve. My family and I loved having Sally with us on the morning of the wedding. She delivered beautiful make up for us all in plenty of time and helped me with my dress which I’ll be forever grateful. Thank you so much.
I’d highly recommend a trial make up session before your wedding and if you want to book Sally book early she’s in high demand! 🩵

Would highly recommend!

Sally was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She was so friendly and instantly put me at ease on my wedding morning. The makeup she did for me was everything I’d hoped for — a beautifully natural look that still felt special and completely “me.”

She also did my bridesmaids and my mum, and everyone looked amazing. She managed to get us all ready right on time without any stress, which made the whole morning run so smoothly.

I couldn’t recommend Sally highly enough — if you want someone who’s talented, calm, and genuinely lovely to have around on your big day, she’s the one!

Sally makes you feel truly special

Sally was absolutely amazing! From the very first moment we spoke, she made me feel so comfortable and confident. She took the time to suggest makeup styles and shades that suited my colouring, skin tone, dress style, and even the venue, making sure everything tied together perfectly.
Lusty isn’t the easiest of wedding venues when it comes to access for suppliers, but Sally’s experience there really showed. She knew exactly what to do and even offered me helpful advice to make sure everything ran smoothly on the day.
On my wedding day, I truly felt like a princess. My makeup was flawless and lasted beautifully all day and night. My bridal party looked incredible too – Sally knew exactly which shades and tones would suit everyone and brought out their best features.
Both Sally and Evie Rose were such a joy to have around. Their great sense of humour and calm, friendly presence made the morning feel relaxed and fun, even when the nerves kicked in!
I can’t recommend Orchid Makeup highly enough – professional, talented, and genuinely lovely people who helped make my day perfect. 💕

Wedding make up

Sally did mine and my bridesmaids make up for my wedding day and it was absolutely amazing. She is so talented and professional.

From the trial to the day everything was great, Sally made me feel so comfortable and the make up was flawless - lasted all day and night.

Couldn’t recommend enough!

A great find!

Sally past me onto Suzanne who did our make up for my wedding. She made us all look and feel incredible! Most importantly, we all still looked like us but with the best make up ever!! She listened and advised me on skin care from my trial.
Such a bubbly chatty person, exactly who you need throughout the chaos of a wedding morning. We all got so many compliments throughout the whole day!

Excellent service and make up was perfect!

I don’t normally wear make-up so deciding on a make-up artist was really important. I booked the trial and make-up for my wedding day. On the day, Sally was on time, organised and flexible. I wanted to change a few things from what I had at the trial and Sally did this perfectly. I highly recommend, my make-up stayed on all day and looked great throughout and in photos! Sally was friendly and made me feel at ease on my big day :)

Stunning makeup and a wonderful experience

I can’t recommend Sally highly enough! From the moment I reached out, she was responsive and professional, offering a range of options from her team at different price points. I decided to book Sally herself and went to Falmouth for a trial. Walking into her salon, it was clear she’s a true professional who knows her craft, and she immediately put me at ease.

Sally was so lovely to work with—she listened carefully to what I wanted and we explored a few potential looks before she worked her magic. The results were absolutely stunning, and she incorporated all my preferences perfectly. During the trial, she also made a plan for the day and answered all my questions, which gave me complete confidence in her.

On the wedding day, Sally not only did my makeup but also the makeup for the mothers and two bridesmaids. Everything ran seamlessly—she arrived fully prepared with her own station and lighting, stayed on schedule, and created a calm, relaxed atmosphere for everyone.

If you’re looking for a talented artist who brings a funny, lovely, and calming presence to your big day, Sally is the one. Her work is absolutely spectacular, and I’m so glad I chose her for such an important part of my wedding!

The most beautiful make up experience

I chose Orchard Beauty after reviewing lots of different makeup artists and seeing that Sally’s practice really seemed to highlight people’s best features in a natural yet ‘showstopping way’. I really think Orchard Beauty are the best of the best and on my wedding day, I received so many compliments on my amazing makeup. It managed to stay on well throughout the day and night, with no need at all for top ups. Your team are the dream team! Thank you for everything.

My Makeup Made My Day!

Sally was amazing from start to finish. My trial was amazing but still didn’t quite do justice to how Sally made me feel on the day! I’ve always suffered with blotchy neck and chest when I feel nervous or excited so I was very aware this was probable on my wedding day. Sally and her talent was able to hide this for me and made me feel incredible and confident for the whole day. I have never felt so beautiful in my whole life.

She also did the makeup of 3 of my bridal party and all agreed on how comfortable she made them feel, having never worn makeup before. I could not recommend Sally more.
