Upwaltham Barns Bridal Hair and Makeup | Petworth Wedding Hair & MakeupArtist

There is nothing we love more than hearing from our brides after the wedding. Once the confetti has settled, the honeymoon is over and life starts getting back to normal, it's always so lovely to receive an email telling us how everything went.

Charmaine got married at the beautiful Upwaltham Barns in Petworth, West Sussex. It was such a pleasure to be part of her wedding morning. Natasha created bridal hair and makeup for Charmaine, along with hair and makeup for the rest of the bridal party.

"I just wanted to say a very big thank you for the lovely hair and makeup that you did for me and the rest of the bridal party. The hairstyles were all amazing and stayed put all day long (even mine with me fiddling around with my three dresses and changing hair accessories!) I really appreciated you being so calm on the morning - it was so lovely to have a calm presence in amongst all the buzz and hype of all the pre-wedding madness and stress. As you can see everything was still looking lovely by the end of the night!"

Every bride wants to know one thing... will my hair actually stay in place all day?

Charmaine's wedding is a perfect example of why preparation, professional products and experience matter. Even after changing into three different dresses and swapping hair accessories throughout the day, her hairstyle stayed beautifully in place. The only touch-ups needed were a couple of strategically placed hair grips, something Natasha had already shown one of the bridesmaids how to do before leaving.

It's those little details that make all the difference.

Of course, creating beautiful bridal hair and makeup is only part of what we do.

When you book your wedding hair and makeup artist, you're inviting someone into one of the most important mornings of your life. It's a morning that's full of excitement, nerves, laughter, happy tears and, usually, a little bit of organised chaos.

Our role isn't just to make you look amazing. It's to help the morning feel calm, enjoyable and stress-free.

One of the biggest compliments Natasha receives is how relaxed brides feel while they're in her chair. She has a wonderfully calm nature, and that's something so many brides tell us they appreciate. Whether it's helping to keep everyone on schedule, quietly reassuring nervous brides or showing a bridesmaid a quick trick for securing a hair grip later in the day, it's often the little things that people remember.

As Charmaine mentioned, having a calm presence amongst all the excitement made a real difference to her wedding morning, and that's something we're incredibly proud of.

Upwaltham Barns is one of our favourite wedding venues in West Sussex. Its beautiful converted barns, stunning countryside setting and relaxed atmosphere lend themselves perfectly to soft, romantic bridal hairstyles and natural, glowing makeup.

Whether you're dreaming of effortless waves, an elegant updo or timeless bridal makeup that simply enhances your natural beauty, we'll create a look that feels like you and complements both your dress and your venue. Most importantly, we'll make sure your hair and makeup lasts from the moment you walk down the aisle until you're dancing the night away.

A huge thank you to Charmaine for trusting Natasha with such an important part of her wedding day, and for taking the time to send such a lovely email afterwards. Messages like these genuinely mean the world to us, and we wish her and Chris every happiness for the future.
