Who can book, and how a quote works
Quem pode reservar, e como funciona o orçamento
Every booking starts with an enquiry. There is no fixed price list: Gessica puts together a personal quote for you once she knows your wedding date, location, and what you are looking for.
- AAny bride, anywhere. You do not need to be based in the North East — any bride in the United Kingdom, or planning a destination wedding internationally, is welcome to get in touch.
- BTrials are usually held at the studio. Gessica's studio is based in Darlington, County Durham. Most brides travel to her for the trial, but she can also travel to you — a travel charge may apply depending on location. For the wedding day itself, she travels to you as standard.
- CBrides planning a wedding. These terms apply to brides or civil partners preparing for their wedding day. Enquiries for other events, such as editorial or celebrity bookings, are also welcome.
📍 Trials are usually held at the studio. Gessica's studio is based in Darlington, County Durham, and most brides travel to her for the trial. She can also travel to you, with a charge depending on location. Open to any UK bride — from London, Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham, Liverpool or anywhere else. Contact the team with any questions before booking.
What a trial involves
O que é o teste de noiva
Your trial is a full, unhurried bridal makeup session — not a consultation, not a quick look. You arrive, we talk through your dress, your venue, and the exact feeling you want. Then Gessica does your complete wedding-day makeup.
- ✓Full bridal makeup application using professional, long-wear products
- ✓In-depth consultation before we begin — skin, insecurities, inspiration images, dress details
- ✓Product and shade records so your wedding-day look is recreated exactly
- ✓Before and after photos for your own personal reference
- ✓Honest feedback on what worked and any tweaks for your big day
The trial session typically runs 1.5 to 2 hours. Please arrive with a clean, moisturised face and your hair done as you would on the wedding day (or in a style that lets Gessica see your face clearly).
The Gessica Promise
