Wedding Make Up Interview with: Kellie
Kellie and Nick got married in May 2024 at a gorgeous ceremony at Arnot Hill registry office in Arnold, Nottingham. It's set in such a lovely park, it's a gorgeous setting for an intimate wedding. Kellie also lived literally two streets away from me - the closest wedding I've ever done, ever!
When did you get engaged, and when did you get married? How long did it take to plan your wedding?
We got engaged 2 years before. We didn't start arranging the wedding properly until about 8 months prior. We knew most people plan years in advance, but we were determined. We got married on May 9th 2024, 14 years to the day since we first met.
What suppliers did you book first? Feel free to sing their praises!
We booked Arnot Hill for the ceremony, they were fantastic and very neurodivergent friendly. We had a small meal after with family at The Willow Tree who were fantastic. I booked Sali because I'd seen friends have their wedding make-up and tutorials with her and it was the best choice. My hair was done by Katrina's Mobile Hairdressing who I'd found after looking for quiet hairdressing appointments. They were both brilliant and calm and funny which really helped with my nerves on the day. Flowers from Etsy, Photos by my niece, both were beautiful.
How did you find me to book me? e.g. Google, social media, recommendation etc.
Facebook friend of friends, and recommendations.
Why did you book me? Did you consider doing your own makeup?
I was considering doing my own make-up, but I wanted something more natural rather than full goth! I booked Sali because friends had recommended her. I had my trial and just felt at ease, and I came away with skin that glowed. I made 100% the right decision.
How did you find your trial makeup appointment with me?
Sali listened, advised, and made me feel really comfortable. I didn't know what I wanted, but Sali had some brilliant ideas and tips.
Would you have changed anything about your wedding makeup?
No. I wanted a change from my usual darker alternative style make-up. We went for a more natural look with a hint of purple in the eyeshadow. My skin absolutely glowed and I felt beautiful.❤️
Any advice for someone else getting married?
Take some time together as a couple, away from wedding planning, to do the things that made you want to get married in the first place.
I went with Ms Moo Make Up for my wedding after seeing lots of my friends having theirs done by Sali for their own weddings, photo shoots as well as having make up lessons with her.
It was a fantastic choice. From start to finish Sali was brilliant. I had a lovely chilled trial in her bright clean studio, where she helped recreate my ideas with her own tips and suggestions.
On the actual day Sali was a star, calming nerves, making us laugh, reminding me to eat something, and putting my mum and daughter at ease. Brilliant communication, LGBTQ+ and Autism/ADHD friendly, and body positive always. It was a warm day in May but my make-up lasted all day/evening, my skin looked flawless, and I felt incredible.
I even got a little bag with essentials in to top up throughout. Thank you so much Sali!
