We spoke to professional bridal makeup artists The Beauty Box Studio about what they do and their top tips for skin prep! Here’s what they had to say:
“I’ve been a professional bridal makeup artist for 9 years, and I love the power and confidence make-up can give to my clients. I opened the studio last year and me and the team pride ourselves on giving the best in luxury bridal make-up to ensure you look and feel your very best on your wedding day.”
Looking after your skin is so important – after all, it’s with you for life! So, here are some of best skincare tips to ensure you’re glowing from within on the big day.
1. Invest in a solid skincare routine. If you’re not sure about where to start, it’s best to visit an aesthetician/beauty therapist who specialises in skincare to advise you. My personal recommendations would be Clinic 32 Aesthetics and The Aesthetics Edit, both based in the North East. I couldn’t live without my routine: cleanse, eye cream, serum, moisturiser and SPF!
2. It’s never too early to start! I always recommend brides start facials a year in advance so you can give your skin plenty of time to glow! As much as we would love an overnight quick fix, there’s no such thing!
3. Do a face mask the night before! This is a great way to have a pamper night before the wedding with your bridal party to ensure your skin is in tip-top condition! My favourites are the Charlotte Tilbury Dry sheet mask and Garnier Moisture Bomb!
One of my favourite aspects of bridal make-up is how timeless it is, and so I always encourage my brides to wear looks they will reflect on in years to come and still love! I’m going to share 4 of my favourite bridal looks for upcoming brides to rock on their big day!
My gorgeous bride Jessica opted for a matte but fresh look with pink hues on the cheeks and lips. I loved creating this look as it was a real collaboration between me and my bride.

My radiant bride Amy opted for a champagne eye with soft hues of brown and bronzed skin. She wore a gorgeous off-the-shoulder dress, so we used body make-up to enhance her décolletage.
The beautiful Becky chose a classic Hollywood glam for her big day. The winged eyeliner and red lip were the star of the make-up! Her Hollywood waves complemented the look perfectly. Don’t be afraid to go bold on the big day, especially if it makes you feel your best!

This stunning bride, Ella, went for a radiant look with peachy, pink hues on the eyes, lips and cheeks. Very romantic and perfect for brides!
“Nick and I just wanted to say the most enormous thank you for making our day so special. The whole thing felt completely effortless whilst being executed perfectly. We were made to feel at home from the moment we arrived, with a massive thanks to Beth, Debbie, David and Jeff who were all completely faultless. Their attention to detail and acknowledgment of things important to us was exceptional. Debbie, thank you so much for making me feel at ease when I was so nervous!

“The hall catered for everything we needed, from the luxury entrance rooms, to the grounds outside, which we used to talk with clients in more detail afterwards. It was exactly what we wanted to allow us to host a presentation of this size. Guests were welcomed with a selection of drinks and canapés in the entrance hall and then again on departure. The seminar itself took place in the Chapel, while the dining room and drawing room provided the perfect spaces clients to relax.

“The venue was immaculately presented and very welcoming. Easy to find just off the A1, with plenty of parking next to the meeting rooms and closer space to unload equipment. The area provided for breakout/coffee/lunch had plenty of room and was a relaxed environment, which gave delegates the chance to meet each other before the conference. The food and drink was plentiful, and of a good standard. The meeting room itself was well equipped and a nice size for our group, not to feel crowded, but also not lost as can happen in large rooms. The staff were on hand all day and happy to help with any of our requests.”

“We’ve had so many compliments from family about our wedding. Some of our guests hadn’t heard of Ellingham Hall before our weekend wedding. I think some guests were wondering why they were at a wedding the night before, as a lot of weddings are only one day. But everyone just absolutely loved it. The team at Ellingham were great. Matt received a lot of compliments on the Friday night. Lots of family said how great he was. In fact, there were loads of compliments about the entire team, they all did a fab job. And everyone complimented us on the food. My friend, Joanne, said it was the best wedding food she had ever tasted. We had just under 100 guests during the day of the wedding and that’s a lot of people to serve, especially with the choices. But it was all brilliant.”
Dominic & Mark Graydon-Close, 15th June 2024
“Thank you so much for helping us have the wedding of our dreams! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day (or 3!) Our guests had a blast and we were blown away by how everything turned out. We especially appreciate your flexibility and willingness to answer all our questions. Special shootout to Alicia and Wendy for all their help on the day. Thank you so much!”
Caitlin & Chris Newman, 18th November 2023
“We like to do something different, and Ellingham Hall is certainly out of the ordinary. We had a fantastic time for our staff party and team building. The activities were fantastic and enabled us to get our teams mixed up and get everybody bonding and having a good time together in an amazing environment. We would recommend Ellingham Hall to anyone, the guys here are fantastic.”
