BRIDAL EXPERIENCE

"I cannot recommend Claire highly enough! She created the most breathtaking boho mermaid braid for my wedding day, and I have truly never felt more beautiful. From the very first consultation, she listened so carefully to what I wanted and worked her magic to bring my dream bridal look to life. The level of detail, skill, and creativity she put into my hair was beyond anything I could have imagined—it was romantic, effortlessly elegant, and stayed flawless all day and night!


Beyond her incredible talent, Claire was such a joy to have on my bridal morning. Her calm, warm, and uplifting presence made me feel so relaxed and confident, which was exactly what I needed. She is not just an amazing hair stylist but also the kind of person who makes your special day even more special. If you’re looking for someone to make you feel like the most beautiful version of yourself on your wedding day, she is the one!"

Sophisticated bridal updos in Cornwall for modern brides

Visit my salon space in Bude, Cornwall for a 2 hour appointment dedicated to perfecting your bridal look. 

Your bridal hair trial is one of the most exciting steps in preparing for your wedding day. It’s where we bring your vision to life, refine every detail, and ensure you feel completely confident about your bridal hairstyle.


When you book a trial with me, here’s what you can expect:

A PERSONAL CONSULTATION

We’ll begin with a relaxed consultation to talk through your wedding details — your dress, veil, accessories, theme, and the overall look you’re dreaming of. This helps me design a style that feels authentically “you.”

A TAILORED STYLING SESSION

During the trial, I’ll create one or two hairstyle options so you can see how different looks complement your features and dress. Whether you’re envisioning a timeless updo, soft romantic waves, or something modern and sleek, we’ll explore the possibilities together.

BRIDAL ACCESSORIES & EXTENSIONS

 If you plan to wear a veil, tiara, or hair accessories, I’ll incorporate them during the trial. I’ll also advise on extensions if you’d like added length or volume for your bridal style.

PHOTOS & NOTES FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY

I’ll document your chosen style with photos and detailed notes so that on your wedding morning, everything runs smoothly and is recreated to perfection.

A CALM, LUXURY EXPERIENCE

My goal is not only to design your dream hairstyle but also to give you a calming, pampered experience ahead of the big day. Brides often tell me the trial made them feel reassured, excited, and even more confident walking down the aisle.

Wedding day

Your wedding morning should feel calm, joyful, and unforgettable. As your bridal hairstylist, I bring more than just hairstyling expertise — I bring reassurance, professionalism, and a luxury experience designed to make you feel truly at ease.

A Calm Start to Your Day

I arrive promptly at your chosen location, fully prepared with everything needed to create your bridal hairstyle. From the moment I set up, my goal is to create a relaxed atmosphere, so you and your bridal party can enjoy every moment of the morning.

Bespoke Bridal Hairstyling

Your hairstyle will be recreated exactly as perfected during your trial, ensuring it complements your dress, accessories, and personal style. Every pin, curl, and strand is placed with precision so your look lasts all day (and night).

Styling for Your Bridal Party

If you’ve booked hairstyling for bridesmaids, mothers, or other VIP guests, I create a tailored schedule in advance. This ensures everyone is ready on time, without any stress or rushing.

Finishing Touches

I stay with you until you are dressed and ready, making final adjustments, perfecting placement of your veil, tiara, or accessories, and ensuring your hairstyle is flawless from every angle.

A Luxury Experience You’ll Remember

Brides often tell me that having a professional by their side not only made them feel beautiful, but also brought calm and confidence to their wedding morning. My role goes beyond hairstyling — it’s about making you feel supported, radiant, and ready for one of the most important moments of your life.


What’s Included in Your Wedding Day Experience:

  • On-location hairstyling service
  • Bridal hairstyle perfected from your trial
  • Time plan for bridal party styling
  • Veil/accessory placement and adjustments
  • Last-minute touch-ups before you walk down the aisle


A minimum booking of Bride and 3 additional adult bridal party members is required for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday weddings

Optional additions to your bridal experience include...

VIP Experience

Your wedding morning should feel calm, joyful, and unforgettable. As your bridal hairstylist, I bring more than just hairstyling expertise — I bring reassurance, professionalism, and a luxury experience designed to make you feel truly at ease.

Stay-On Service for Your Special Day

Instead of saying goodbye after your morning preparations, I remain by your side through the ceremony and beyond. This ensures your hair stays immaculate during photos, celebrations, and special moments. From smoothing away windblown strands to refreshing curls after happy tears, I’m there to keep your style looking its very best.

Optional Second Bridal Look

Many brides love the idea of a second hairstyle to transform their look for the evening — perhaps changing from a romantic updo into glamorous waves, or from a timeless classic to something modern and sleek. With the VIP Experience, we’ll plan and create your second bridal look so you can surprise your guests with a new style as the party begins.

Why Brides Love the VIP Experience

  • Constant touch-ups so your hair stays perfect in every photo
  • Peace of mind knowing a professional is by your side all day
  • Luxury of a seamless transition into a second evening style
  • An elevated, celebrity-inspired experience designed exclusively for you

Bridal Party Hairstyling

Your bridal party deserves to feel just as beautiful and confident as you do on your wedding day. From elegant bridesmaids to stylish mothers of the bride and groom, I create looks that perfectly complement your wedding style while allowing each person’s individuality to shine.

Bespoke Styling for Every Member

Whether it’s soft waves, timeless updos, or chic half-up styles, I tailor each look to suit your bridesmaids’ dresses, accessories, and personal preferences — always ensuring it aligns seamlessly with your overall bridal vision.

A Cohesive Look for Your Wedding Aesthetic

I make sure each bridal party style complements your chosen theme and palette, creating a polished, picture-perfect finish for your wedding photos.

Bridal Party Hairstyling Includes:

  • Bridesmaids, mothers, and other guests
  • Hairstyles tailored to each person’s style & comfort
  • A wedding morning timeline for seamless preparation
  • Long-lasting styles designed to hold all day
