“I love making a bridal feel special on her wedding day. I think that hair and makeup is the key to finishing off the brides total look. My advice to any bride is to enjoy your preparations of the big day. Leading up it may sound stressful but take some “me time” out, whether it’s a spa day or even just a night in with the girls and some vino.”

“Do remember this is your day take a step aside to enjoy who and what’s around you. Take it from me, it may seem a long day but it goes way too quick. Most of all have fun; one day you will look back and see all your memories again in your photos.” – Michelle Suffolk-Walsh, HMUA
