    Where did you find someone for your hair and makeup. I have decided to pay to get ours done professionally. But no idea where to start.

    I remember one company from a wedding fair and just dug their details out but they are an in salon only company and are based quite a way away from ours so not feasible.

    Any suggestions or recommendations for Birmingham area appreciated :)

    I can't suggest or recommend for Birmingham area, but I found mine by searching for make up artists Sussex. I then whittled them down by their location and reviews and went from there.

    I found mine on a website that suggests local wedding suppliers, so I then went onto her website from there then saw she had a FB page so went on there to look at reviews, pics of her previous work etc. The website only covers Wiltshire and Gloucestershire but I'm sure there will be similar that covers your area too... think gu1d3s for br1d3s is one??

    I just did a g00gl3 search for wedding hair and make up in Nottinghamshire and found mine. I hope you get something sorted.

    I used the same lady who did my sister's wedding, tried and tested so I knew exactly what I was getting which was good. Think my sister found her on a g00g13 search.

    Ok, seems my searching was in vain. Will have another go tonight to see if I can see any I like. Did you just go on their pictures in their profile mainly?

    Yeah I just flicked through pictures she had on her FB page - I found they were the most current as opposed to the ones on her website, as she tends to upload to FB as she goes. Keep looking, I am sure you'll find someone. I found it quite hard to choose someone as it's such a personal thing - in the end I just went with the person who I got the best impression from/who I found to be the friendliest. Turns out I made the right choice as she is lovely :)

    That's what I'm struggling with. Everyone I have seen at wedding fairs I haven't had a nice vibe from. There was one company who I did but they are the ones who are in salon only so not feasible. There was one other man who seemed nice but the way he spoke was as if he did everything on the cheep and then marked up massively. Couldn't stomach going with him despite photos being nice.

    May put a note on the brum fb wedding page and see what I get.
