Looking back at my 2025 brides ✨ Every single one requested something different — from natural and subtle , to blushy, bronzed, or radiant. No two brides are the same, and that’s always my focus 🤍 I adapted each bridal makeup look to suit their features, skin, style, and vision — enhancing natural beauty while creating a timeless, elevated finish.

One of the most common questions I get from brides is: How do you make my hairstyle last all day and night? Here’s what makes the difference: ✨ 1. Hair prep
The right prep creates the foundation for long-lasting hold. Clean hair is important, but the products used beforehand are just as crucial. ✨ 2. Hair type matters
Some hair naturally holds curls and shape better than others. If your hair is very fine, silky, or struggles to keep a curl, I may recommend clip-in extensions for extra structure and longevity. ✨ 3. Curling technique
I use smaller sections, especially through the top layers, to create stronger curls that set properly and hold their shape. ✨ 4. Backcombing + texture powder
This adds grip and helps keep the waves together, giving your style both volume and staying power. ✨ 5. Strong hairspray
Your hair may not feel super soft, but it will hold beautifully from the ceremony to the last dance. Every bride deserves a hairstyle that looks just as stunning at the end of the night as it did when she first put on her dress. Planning your wedding on the Sunshine Coast? I’d love to help create a hairstyle that lasts all day and all night ✨ • #sunshinecoastbride #sunshinecoastwedding #bridalhairstyling #sunshinecoasthairstylist

Mr & Mrs Birkett!! One of those weddings where I drove home thinking about how special it really was. Maddy and Joel were completely themselves all day, so incredibly happy, so in love, and surrounded by people who adore them. On a day that was meant to be wet, we were so blessed with perfect sunshine right up until the end and that really sums up the day for me 💛 @days.of.fables @georgiamunnsphoto @willowbudflowers @luvbridal @sunshinebrides @twinwatersweddings @jessebellan @bowerbird.bride

Timeless romance for Charlotte & Matthew 🤍🕯️ I just loved how their wedding day reflected their love perfectly and radiated such a romantic energy 💍 Every selection was made with purpose and I had a wonderful day capturing all of these moments for them to cherish forever 🤳🏼 . .
