Rachel Caws Bridal Hair and Makeup Specialist Full Description
Hi! I'm Rachel, your bridal hair and makeup expert. I work alongside brides to make their wedding day Pinterest boards come to life. My signature look is radiant, timeless and elegant. I use my inside secrets and advanced products to create the very best version of you. As a perfectionist, I'm always evolving my technique to move with the bridal trends and strive to bring you a service that exceeds your expectations, one where you feel special, valued, and heard. Being part of the wedding industry for the last 18 years means I've seen a lot of clients who regularly wear makeup and some who don't even own a makeup bag; whatever your experience, you deserve a look that is authentically, beautifully you. What's most important is that, together, we find a look that's long-lasting, comfortable, wearable, and looks great in your photography. My #1 aim is for you to walk away from your trial feeling like the best version of yourself, not someone else. So, if this sounds like what you're looking for, then please do get in touch to see if I have your date available.

Rachel is so polite, kind and understanding!

Rachel is so polite, kind and understanding! She made me feel very well looked after during our time spent together. Very talented, I feel lucky to have been able to experience her skill.

The make up was immaculate!

All I can say about Rachel is she saved the day. The morning of my wedding my original artist cancelled on me, without meeting me prior Rachel rushed over with an hour to spare to do my make up. She was professional and the make up was immaculate, I struggle with wearing make up as my skin is sensitive but she knew exactly what products to use and how to make it work. The make up stayed on all day and did not smudge through the happy tears. The eyelashes used were amazing.

Get in touch with Rachel, you won’t regret it!

I have had Rachel do my make up as a bridesmaid and as wedding guest. Each time the experience is relaxing and the result is always perfection. I would recommend anyone looking for make up for that special occasion to get in touch with Rachel you won’t regret it!

Rachel was amazing!

Rachel was amazing from our first planning session about what look I wanted and how to best take care of my skin leading up to our big day to making me feel calm & relaxed that morning getting ready & she got the look spot on giving me so much confidence for the day & all the photography! She is a true professional & it is clear she has a real passion for what she does! I had so many compliments on my make up from our friends & family & it lasted really well through all the celebrations!

I was so so happy with my make up on the day!

Rachel helped to keep such a calm environment throughout the morning & took on board all of our preferences to make us feel comfortable. Timings were well thought out so we didn’t once feel rushed or under any pressure. I was so so happy with my make up on the day & all my bridesmaids looked beautiful! She did an incredible job of creating the perfect, natural bridal look & I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is a wealth of knowledge in the make up industry & amazing at what she does!

I would highly recommend her for weddings

I was fortunate to have Rachel as my make up artist for my wedding, for my bridesmaids. All of them were unique and acquired different styles and tastes, yet Rachel was able to cater for them all. Throughout she remained professional, and patience with their needs. Her knowledge and expertise was outstanding and I would highly recommend her for weddings.

Rachal was absolutely superb!

As an older bride with sensitive skin, who doesn't wear much make up, I was feeling daunted by the whole thing. In my trial Rachel and I discussed different looks and tried various products. She took such care and attention to detail that I was left feeling happy and confident about my bridal look I had settled on. On the day Rachel was absolutely superb! I felt completely relaxed as she worked her magic, making me feel glamourous with an edge that was totally me.

Rachel is the best makeup artist around!

Rachel is the Best make up Artist around - I can not recommend her enough! Rachel did my make up for my wedding and I was so so happy with the results. She helped me with colour matching, and also really helped me with the result I was after. We had a trial before which made me feel at ease and this made me not have to worry about at least one of the things on the day. She really put me at ease. On the day she was so professional, calming and so talented!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

The one that stands out in my memory the most was when the bride absolutely nailed all the finer details for her wedding morning, including following my bespoke morning schedule, which meant that the wedding morning was timed to absolute perfection, there was time to spare for personal touches like gifting and everyone was able to be truly present in the moment and enjoy their time together. It felt really special to be part of it but also to observe a wedding morning executed so thoughtfully.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Timeless, radiant, elegant, sophisticated and captivating.

What about your business are you most proud of?

That I have been able to build something out of passion that teaches me, fuels me, fascinates me and fulfils me.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

To communicate with your suppliers, ask all the questions you can think of and to follow advice that you are given by your suppliers, to ensure the smoothest possible experience.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Wedding guests all on a rota to manage the bar! This was such a fun idea and meant that the guests ended up chatting to others they didn't know so well and having a right laugh together serving everyone!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

When I receive your initial enquiry, I create a bespoke quote for you and we confirm your booking with a deposit. Your consultation gives you confidence that your journey with me is tailored to your individual needs and we set a date for your bridal hair and makeup preview, where we trial your ideas and choose your dream bridal look. Closer to your wedding date we confirm all the finer details to ensure a smooth experience and then we look forward to the day itself!

What do you love most about your job?

That every bride is so different - no two weddings are the same and it is this variety that motivates me, enables me to hone my skills and build on my ability to offer bespoke services.

What is your No. 1 beauty tip for a bride?

A consistent and personalised skincare regime - this is included as standard in my Sophisticated Bride package to ensure the best possible results for your dream bridal look.

How do you keep the bride feeling calm on her wedding day?

Clear communication and preparation in the lead up to the big day mean that we all know what to expect. I'm a very calm, unflappable and organised person myself and, having worked on countless weddings, I'm able to anticipate brides' needs and have a contingency plan for the things not all brides see coming. In addition to this, my most popular bridal packages include luxury skincare rituals before makeup application, which is sure to have a calming influence and set the scene for a serene experience!

What advice would you give to brides to stay looking great throughout their wedding day?

Booking one of my most popular packages means you will have a Bridal top up kit included in your booking, which helps you to keep on top of any hair or makeup needs throughout your day. My Exquisite Bride package includes my stay all day service, so that you have me waiting discreetly in the wings to top up your lipstick, pick confetti out of your hair, remove your veil before you eat, hold your dress while preparing for your photos, etc. I will be available right up until your wedding breakfast (or 4pm, whichever comes first).
