The fee also secures your wedding day, without this, the date may be offered to other interested parties. Please note if you cancel a member of your bridal party, the 20% booking fee relating to the service booked for this person will be lost. Please consider this when booking in your stylists / artists.

Payments beyond the booking fee will be dealt with directly by your stylist / artist, you will be sent a contract quoting all final fees payable. If payments are not made by the dates specified in the contract then late payment fees may be charged. Trial fees are due no later than 48 hours prior to your trial date, via bank transfer.
