A little about me

Hi, I’m Andra, a London based bridal hair and makeup artist, skincare enthusiast, and the face behind I Do Bridal Services.

With almost 12 years of experience spanning bridal beauty, fashion, editorial, celebrity and red-carpet work, I’ve been fortunate enough to build a career doing something I genuinely love.

Over the years, my work has taken me behind the scenes of fashion shows, editorial shoots, celebrity events and some incredible creative projects, working with renowned brands and organisations including Chanel, Burberry, BVLGARI, L’Oréal, Wella, Redken, Capital Radio and The King’s Trust to name but a few.

These experiences have shaped not only my artistry but also my approach to beauty combining the attention to detail and precision of the fashion industry with a relaxed, personal experience that feels entirely your own.

My approach to beauty

If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I’m a little obsessed with beautiful skin. Skincare has always been just as much of a passion as makeup itself, and I truly believe that the most beautiful makeup starts with healthy, well prepared skin.

Think fresh, luminous complexions, softly defined features, effortless hair and that understated elegance that never really goes out of style.

Quiet luxury, but make it personal.

I’m not interested in transforming you into someone else. My philosophy has always been about enhancing what makes you uniquely beautiful, creating a look that feels polished yet effortless, timeless yet modern, and most importantly, still feels like you.

I love makeup that looks like skin, hair that moves naturally, and those subtle little details that make all the difference.

A little more than hair & makeup

While my career has taken me through the fast-paced worlds of fashion, backstage and red-carpet beauty, bridal will always hold a very special place in my heart.

There’s something incredibly rewarding about being invited into such a personal moment in someone’s life.

For me, creating beautiful bridal hair and makeup is only part of the experience. It’s also about making you feel comfortable, listened to and completely at ease, from our first conversation to those final little touches before you walk down the aisle.

Every bride has her own vision of beauty, and I love bringing that vision to life in a way that feels authentic to her.

Whether you’re dreaming of barely there makeup, soft modern glamour, an effortlessly undone hairstyle or something a little more statement, my aim is always the same:

For you to look in the mirror and see the most beautiful version of yourself. Just with exceptionally good hair and makeup.

And perhaps a little extra glow.

From Backstage to Bridal

A little fashion influence, a lot of love for beautiful skin, and an appreciation for beauty that feels entirely your own.

Over the past 11 years, my career as a London based hair and makeup artist has taken me from the creative energy of backstage fashion shows and editorial sets to red-carpet events, celebrity appointments and some truly beautiful wedding mornings.

Fashion and editorial work have always been a wonderful creative playground for me. From barely-there makeup and beautifully luminous skin to bold colours, interesting textures and statement looks, I love the freedom to experiment, push boundaries and see beauty from a different perspective.

But beyond the creativity, working backstage and on set has taught me something invaluable: true artistry is about understanding the person in front of you.

It’s knowing how to make skin look beautiful in different lighting, how to create hair and makeup that photographs effortlessly, how to work calmly under pressure and, perhaps most importantly, knowing when less really is more.

Where fashion meets bridal beauty

Bridal beauty is where all those years of experience come together in a much more personal way.

The techniques, attention to detail and artistry I’ve developed throughout my career are the very same ones I bring to every bride’s wedding morning. Only now, instead of creating a look for a campaign or editorial, I’m creating something that reflects you.

My approach is rooted in skin-first beauty, natural enhancement and an effortless kind of elegance. Think beautifully prepared, glowing skin, soft definition, hair that moves naturally and those almost-undetectable details that make everything feel a little more special.

It’s my interpretation of quiet luxury: thoughtful, refined and never overdone.

Because although I love the creativity of fashion, I believe the most beautiful bridal look is one that doesn’t compete with the woman wearing it.

It’s you, at your most confident, radiant and effortlessly beautiful.

And that, for me, will never go out of style.
