Meet Laura
Role
CEO, “housemaster” and makeup artist.
Background
Laura’s been obsessed with all things makeup and beauty since she was old enough to grab her mum’s Dior eyeliner. She started her career in makeup in London and honed her bridal skills by training in Bristol. Originally from Kent, she’s been living the Devon dream for nearly 14 years after choosing to raise her children by the sea. What gets her up in the morning? A fierce passion for making others feel incredible.

“I have a passion for making women look and feel the most stunning version of themselves. From trial to aisle, I’m with my brides every step of the way. I love being able to dedicate myself to each and every bride, getting to know them and being part of their most memorable day.”

Meet Paris
Role
Bridal wedding hair specialist.
Background
Paris has been in the wedding industry for over 10 years. She’s from Canterbury in Kent, where she went straight into wedding styling following an apprenticeship. After continuing to hone her skills through ongoing training at the L’Oreal London Academy, she made the move to North Devon. Her superpower? Making wedding mornings relaxed as they can be while creating hairstyles that are as perfect as they can be.

Steam your dress the night before so the humidity doesn’t ruin your hair and makeup.

Guilty pleasure
Watching Grey’s Anatomy with a nice face mask after a busy day.
“I find it such an honour to be a part of your most special day, seeing you relax and have fun. When you know all your hair desires are being met, you can feel like your best self and party the whole night away.”
