Kind Words.....

Nothing makes my day better than to receive a note of thanks from one of my happy brides.  Below are a few kind words that I've been sent recently,

ZOE - 6th September 2025

 "I just wanted to send a message to say thank you again to you and Jo for all your hard work on the wedding morning. We all felt the most beautiful versions of ourselves and I was especially grateful to you for helping tweak things so they were just exactly how I hoped and pictured. It was a lovely chilled morning and the rest of the wedding was amazing!"

VICTORIA - 13th December 2026

"I couldn't recommend Antonia more. She knows her stuff and is extremely professional, but shes also friendly, chilled, and made the whole experience really enjoyable (which is exactly how it should be!). I really wanted to look like me on my wedding day, and not caked in makeup, and Antonia achieved that and made me feel so beautiful and natural. She also did my hair, which was perfect. I gave her pretty vague instructions, she listened to everything I said and did exactly what I wanted, but somehow made it so much better than I had imagined. She's great!"

GINI - 27th September 2025

"Antonia was absolutely incredible from start to finish. During the trial, she really took the time to listen and accepted my feedback, making thoughtful adjustments until the look was exactly what I wanted. On the wedding day itself, she was such a joy to have around – calm, friendly, and professional. My makeup looked beautiful and lasted perfectly throughout the day. I couldn’t have asked for a better hair and makeup artist and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone!"

LIBBY - 19th September  2025

"A rather belated but very important thank you card nonetheless. I wanted to write and just say thank you for doing such a wonderful job with mine and Mum's hair and makeup back in September.  You made us feel so comfortable and relaxed.  I was so pleased with my hair and makeup on my wedding day and I felt amazing when all eyes were on me.  You really were so brilliant and chatting away to you before the big moment was just what I needed.  I was never in doubt of your talent.  Thank you once again."

"Antonia is an absolute professional and is extremely talented at what she does. She has so much experience and is highly knowledgeable. She is a kind and calming presence, and made me feel so much at ease on the morning of my wedding. I highly recommend booking Antonia, you won't be disappointed!!"

JESSICA - 28th June 2025

"I wanted to reach out, now the whirlwind of the wedding has finally passed, to say a huge thank you for your hair & make-up services. The bridal party all looked smashing and I was over the moon with my hair and make-up. I was so impressed with my trial hair and makeup, yet you still somehow made it even more incredible on my wedding day! Thanks again, you've been incredible from when I first got in contact with you through to my wedding day."

GRACE - 16th August 2025

"I had a fantastic experience with Elle Au Naturel for both my hair and make up, for my wedding August 2025. Antonia and her assistant Sarah were amazing and I was so happy with my final look - I looked like myself but much much better! Antonia gave good suggestions to me and my mum on skincare and make up ideas when we went for the trial, and so I felt confident on the day that I had already made the key decisions and trusted both of them entirely. 5/5 experience and would recommend Elle Au Naturel to anyone for hair, make-up or both!"

"Just wanted to say thank you so much for yesterday - really appreciate all your and Julian's work! Everyone looked great and we had such a good day. "

JESSICA - 20th July 2024

"I couldn’t have asked for a better hair and make-up artist for my wedding day! I knew from my trial that I was in safe hands with Antonia. Her makeup was so natural whilst enhancing my favourite features, but making sure I still looked and felt like ‘me’. Despite loving my hair at my trial I pivoted to a different style for the big day, which Antonia recreated masterfully as I knew she would. Her and her team made the morning of my wedding so special, maintaining such a calming atmosphere amidst some natural wedding day chaos and made me and my bridal party feel and look amazing! I can’t thank Antonia enough - for your patience, skill, organisation and making me feel like an actual princess (something I never thought I’d say)!"

RHIAN - 24th August 2024

"Antonia did the makeup for myself, my Mum and my bridesmaids for my wedding and I couldn’t have been happier with how it turned out. Antonia stepped in to cover my wedding super last minute as our previous makeup artist had to cancel. Antonia was really flexible and made time to fit in a trial before the day and I knew immediately after the trial that I was in very safe hands. Although I loved my makeup at the trial it was even better on the actual day and my mum and bridesmaids were all very happy with theirs too. The makeup was super natural and glowy which is exactly what I had hoped for and made me feel amazing. Couldn’t recommend Antonia more."

LUCINDA - 13th August 2022

I just had to write and tell you how grateful I am for everything you did for me! 
 
I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup last Saturday. People were raving about it, and I felt like a celebrity.
 
I also really appreciated you fitting me in. You really saved me! I feel very lucky.

JULIE - 18th September 2024

'What can I say? I don't typically wear makeup and my hair options only vary between Up and Down. I was terrified of being 'over-made' for my wedding with huge blocks of makeup, so I'm extremely glad I found Elle au Naturel. Antonia is a fantastically talented hair and makeup artist, and the whole process has been a huge boost to my confidence. Antonia was patient and attentive trying out different options for the trial and was able to honestly advise whether something worked or needed tweaking to suit me better while listening to my ideas. This included advice for what haircut to ask for as well as an excellent recommendation for a stylist. On my wedding day, she was an oasis of calm and instantly put me at ease. Every step was meticulous and considerate, and I've never felt better. I looked like the best version of me - beautiful, soft, natural makeup and hair that lasted the whole day and night. I can't recommend Antonia enough. Thank you so much for making my entire day so easy and memorable."

CHLOE - 26th April 2025

"Antonia did my hair and make up for my wedding, aswell as my two bridesmaids) and I couldn’t have been happier! The natural makeup was just perfect for me and my hair looked beautiful and lasted the whole day and night (and a lot of dancing!)
She is also a lovely person and calm company to have around on your wedding morning.
Highly recommend to anyone getting married!"

IMOGEN - 25th July 2025

I couldn’t be happier that I booked my hair & make up for my wedding with Antonia. I was so nervous about everything and both at my trial and on the day Antonia was so kind and patient with me , helping me to feel better. She truly is a really kind person which really helps at such a stressful time. We had Julian and Jo assisting with my bridesmaids and they all looked beautiful. I would definitely recommend Antonia!

LAURA - 1st August 2025

"Thank you so much for the amazing job that you did on my hair and makeup on our wedding day back in August.  Thank you for your help and guidance leading up to the day and for your calm presence in the morning whilst we were all getting ready."

"I had such a great experience with Antonia. She listened to what I wanted and I looked and felt great on my wedding day! She was a lovely calm presence on the morning of the wedding."

TAMAR - 19th November 2024

"Antonia is absolutely wonderful! I felt completely transformed into the best version of me, but I still felt like me, which is what I wanted. She has a lovely calm presence which was so reassuring on the day, and while being unobtrusive was very good at keeping us on track in terms of timekeeping. She set out a clear plan and also gave excellent skincare advice. It felt amazing to be in such skilled hands, and the resulting pictures are just incredible! I would recommend Antonia to anyone!"

EMMA - 4th May 2024

"I cannot recommend Antonia more highly. Having been a bridesmaid at two weddings previously where she did the hair and makeup, when finding someone for my own wedding, she was the only person I considered.

Antonia really listens to what you want, and uses all of her experience to make sure you get a result you are truly happy with. My hair and makeup didn't budge all day and evening, photographed so well and I couldn't have been happier. She is incredibly organised, brings a relaxed atmosphere the morning of your wedding, and is extremely responsive and communicative in the planning stage.

During the trial, she gave me such helpful advice running through different options for my hair and a makeup look I loved."
