Bridal Review

Natalie was amazing throughout. From the trial where she really listened to what I wanted and the vision I had right through into the big day. All of my bridal party looked fantastic. Everyone commented on how natural and elegant our hair and make up looked. I would highly recommend Natalie to anyone wanting a personal yet professional service for their special occasions

Bride, Bridesmaids and Mother of the Bride

Natalie’s service was amazing. The process from the trial at the beginning to the big day was very well organised and I felt very comfortable with the service provided. She made us look amazing, and gave me the confidence boost that I was looking for on my wedding day!

Wonderful experience, highly recommend!

Natalie was a fantastic addition to the wedding day! She did beautiful makeup and hair for me and my 4 bridesmaids

The trial was a lovely experience with Natalie taking her time to talk me through options and try different styles and options and when I wasn’t 100% sure reworked the style for a new option

On the wedding day Natalie was calm, relaxed and natural with me and my bridal party and made us all feel at ease. She managed all the timings but still made sure each one of the us felt special and looked after and got exactly what we all wanted and produced beautiful results

Overall it was a great experience, and I would highly recommend to any brides/bridesmaids or even jsut for an event

Thank you Natalie!

100% Recommend!

Natalie was wonderful from start to finish. Myself and my mum had a trial before the wedding where Natalie listened to our requests and worked her magic.

On the day of the wedding Natalie was so calm and reassuring. She did hair and makeup for myself, my sister and my mum. The products she uses are high end top quality and she takes real pride in her work. We were all so happy with our looks!! I would definitely recommend Natalie for all future brides. Thank you again for making us all feel and look so special!

Stunning Hair & Make Up!

I can’t thank Natalie & Hattie enough for my wedding hair and make up, I felt a million dollars and all my bridesmaids looked fabulous.
I felt at ease from the trial to the day, as someone who never has anything done, Natalie listened to what I wanted and executed it perfectly. She even filmed the most beautiful video of me and my Dad heading to walk down the aisle - thank you so much! Highly recommend xx

Natalie & Hattie are amazing!

Natalie and Hattie created the perfect getting ready day for my bridesmaids and I!
Not only did they get up at the crack of dawn and travel from Biggleswade to Lincolnshire but they made us all feel comfortable and at ease.
A lot of us hadn’t had our makeup done professionally before, but Natalie and Hattie listened and understood when we asked for what we would like. We felt comfortable expressing any changes or extras we wanted and never felt under pressure or rushed.
Couldn’t recommend them enough!

Simply amazing!!

Natalie was amazing! First and foremost she is such a lovely person and she was really easy to get on with. It's clear to see that she loves her job and is very passionate about it. She listened to what I wanted and was able to give me really valuable advice. My experience at the preview was wonderful, she really took the time to make sure I was happy with everything and it really put my mind at ease. On the day she did makeup and hair for myself, my 2 bridesmaids and my mum. Everyone looked absolutely stunning! All of us wanted a different hairstyle which she was completely fine with, she was so versatile and flexible. I was absolutely thrilled with my makeup and I loved my hair! They both lasted really well considering how hot it was that day (I got married on 12.07.25)! My hair is renowned for dropping curls quickly but they lasted really well, which I was so impressed with. The morning of my wedding was very stressful, my house was full of adults, children and a dog but throughout it all Natalie was so calm and professional. I couldn't have asked for more! She started at 5.30 in the morning to make sure we were all ready in time and she even locked up for us after we had all left. The price she offered was so reasonable compared to other quotes I had been given. What she offers is such good value for money! I cannot recommend her enough!

Perfect in every way

I came across Natalie on Hitched as she was close to the location I was getting married. I read the reviews and looked at her pictures and loved what I saw. I contacted Natalie, told her a little bit about myself and what I was looking for. From day one she was understanding, professional and gave good advise. I’m so glad I did. The morning of my wedding she turned up on time. Myself and my 2 bridesmaids took turns in having our hair and makeup done and it was such a relaxed atmosphere. She made us look and feel a million dollars. I had compliments all day about how beautiful and glowing I looked. I can’t thank her enough. I highly recommend Natalie, The Strand. She is incredible. Thank you so much again for being part of my wedding morning.

Great experience

I can not thank Natalie enough for her work! Starting with my pre view, the afternoon was very relaxed and I felt she really listened to my ideas and view. I instantly loved how she styled my hair and the make up look she created for me.
On my wedding morning she arrived at my house on time and set up quickly to get going! I had myself, my mum and two bridesmaids to have their hair and make up done and everyone looked amazing! The styles and make up lasted all day and we all got so many compliments!
My house got a bit crazy with everyone arriving and getting ready and Natalie didn't let this bother her, she kept going and was very professional!
Thank you so much! I would highly recommend her services!

Amazing mother and daughter duo!!

Both Natalie and Hattie were wonderful on our wedding day. They were professional, friendly and such lovely people. They made both myself and my bridesmaids feel at ease and they joined in with our laughs, jokes and banter throughout the morning.

I was very impressed with their work. All of our hairstyles and makeup looked amazing and lasted the entire day, I couldn’t have been happier and everybody commented on how gorgeous my hair looked. I changed the style from what I had at my trial and it looked even more stunning.

I would highly recommend Natalie and Hattie, they did a brilliant job and they are also very reasonably priced. Do not hesitate to book them for your wedding, you won’t be disappointed. Xx

Excellent make-up artist!

From start to finish my experience with Natalie was great. She listened to my concerns with regards to being a mature bride and the sort of look I wanted and made suggestions on what would suit me and the products she would use. The trial went very well and I was really pleased with the results and the way the make-up lasted on my skin.
On my wedding day, Natalie turned up right on time and worked her magic again. I wanted a couple of adjustments to the eyeshadow colour and a slightly darker lipstick and the adjustments worked well.
I had lots of compliments on my make-up on the day which felt very natural and the only thing that needed touching up was the lipstick.
Thank-you Natalie for making me feel a confident mature bride!! I would highly recommend the service.

Bridal hair and make up

Absolutely thrilled with the exceptional talent of hair and makeup artists Natalie and Hattie! Natalie created a breathtaking bridal look for me, while Hattie made my bridesmaids and mum look absolutely stunning. Guests were commenting on how wonderful we all looked and I can't thank them enough for their work!

From when I first contacted Natalie to the moment I walked down the aisle, Natalie was incredibly professional, supportive, and receptive to my ideas. Nothing was too much for her and I had a wonderful time at my trial as well as on my wedding morning with these two wonderful ladies - it felt very much like they were apart of the wedding party. Natalie crafted a final look that exceeded all my expectations. The new option to hire clip-in extensions was a fantastic addition that worked perfectly for my style.

I wholeheartedly recommend their services and will definitely be booking them again in the future!

I was so happy.

Well where do I start?
From wedding makeup trial to on the day of the wedding was absolutely perfect. I explained what I wanted and she listened. Up until the day of the wedding I had changed my mind on how I’d like my makeup to be done and she done it exactly how I wanted. She is very professional and loves to make sure that’s the client has the best. I’d recommend Natalie anytime.

5 Star - Highly Recommend

Had the privilege of Natalie and Hattie doing make up for myself and my bridal party on my wedding day. Both were professional, friendly, engaging and great to be around, exactly what was needed on a nervous morning. Our makeup was perfect and lasted all day and night, even after hours on the dance floor! With so many compliments received as the bride I couldn't have asked for make up more perfect for the day. Highly recommend their services and wouldn't hesitate to return for any future make up needs.
