Because you deserve it

I believe that every bride deserves to look like a million dollars on their wedding day. With skilfully applied makeup, together with perfectly styled hair and your own individual style, I will make you feel like a princess. I embrace the experience and take immense pleasure in looking after the entire Bridal Party including Bridesmaids, Flower Girls and of course Mother of the Bride and Groom.

I take care and treasure my Brides and it is important to me that the morning of your wedding is relaxed and happy! I provide a calm and friendly atmosphere and will ensure that you are confident with your makeup and hair on your special day. Making sure you look your very best on the most memorable day of your life.

What our beautiful brides say...

  • Mel is fantastic at her job, from the bridal trial to all the other little preparations before the big day she made sure I was happy and felt comfortable. On the big morning itself she was professional and calming making me feel relaxed and beautiful. She worked her magic on me and was then on hand helping with my parents button holes and chatting away to my young bridesmaids.
  • Melanie was wonderful. She made me and my bridesmaid very comfortable both on our makeup trial and especially on the day. I am not used to wearing too much makeup but I was very pleased with the final look and felt beautiful and special which is what any bride wants on their wedding day. Melanie is also a very warm and lovely person and easily puts you at ease.
  • I truly believe Melanie has magical powers! She is totally amazing and dedicated to her work and is absolutely fantastic! On the lead, up to our wedding I had several treatments with Melanie which were all given professionally and she truly is a lash extension expert!
  • Melaine was amazing from trial to day of she made me feel comfortable and felt like part of the bridal team! I can be a little shy and she made me feel confident and beautiful, my make up was natural and close to what I wear day to day but looked flawless and lasted into the night.
    Highly recommend
  • I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist for our wedding day. Mel was so friendly, kind, and professional from start to finish, and instantly made us feel relaxed and comfortable. She listened carefully to exactly what we wanted and absolutely nailed the looks we were hoping for.

    Thanks Mel - you’re simply the best x
  • I can't recommend Blush Bude enough, as someone who doesn't wear lots of make up and needed someone who felt more like a friend on my special day, Mel is the person to choose!
  • Mel had patience throughout the trial to adjust anything I wasn't comfortable with and offer an alternative until we found exactly the look I was hoping for. She made me feel like the most beautiful bride, my make up was natural, glowing and timeless. Most importantly I felt like myself as she took the time to listen to how I wanted to look and created it better than anything I could have expected on the day!
  • Melanie was an absolute joy from start to finish. I always knew we’d love her makeup as her signature natural glowy style was exactly what we wanted, but me and all of my bridesmaids loved our final looks and felt amazing on the day. It lasted all day and night in hot sticky heatwave weather. But most importantly Melanie was just the most chilled, friendly, good vibes person to be around and her energy made the wedding morning one to remember. She was such a sweetheart she even squeezed in a quick last-minute glam up of my 89 year old grandma who was totally delighted. Would recommend to anyone looking for a wedding morning pro!
  • Where do I start? From beginning to end Mel was just amazing so lovely and helpful! I honestly really enjoyed the time I got to spend with her. I couldn’t recommend Mel more highly, you would be a fool not to use her! My makeup was amazing, all my bridesmaids loved theirs, it was just all so perfect! And the video Mel made for us captured special moments of me and my dad before we walked down the aisle. Thank you Mel! For everything! So much love xxxxxx
