Can we talk about our lovely makeup artists and their kit...
I spoke to sooo many MUA's when planning the studios and all said that they had to bring spare tables, director chairs, and often they had to work from their suitcases as there isn't enough space.
I pride our studios as being perfect for everyone! Bride's, bridal parties, and our wonderful suppliers πβ¨οΈ

Can we talk about the amount of space suppliers need for all of their equipment/products....
I think this is completely overlooked when venues design their get ready rooms, and air b&b's and hotels just aren't built for wedding mornings!
These tables were like a gift from heaven when I found them! With an extendable built in table, there is so much space for your supplier to work from ensuring they can work as effectively and efficiently as they can. It also saves their poor backs from bending down to reach for products from their cases
I did so much research with industry professionals to ensure that the studio has everything they need from table space, to additional plug sockets and extension leads, to high make up chairs and swivel chairs for hair, not forgetting the ring lights natural day light bulbs and hair trolleys.... I have made it the perfect place for wedding suppliers and bridal parties πβ¨οΈ

Let's Celebrate - Okie Dokie!!
π 4 styling stations so 4 people can get ready at the same time
πStunning dressing room
π Kitchen stocked with all the dinnerware and glasswear that you'll need with plenty of tea/coffee/sugar/milk. Oh did I mention a Nespresso coffee machine with milk frother?!
π Complementary bottle of prosecco
π Wicker storage to hide belongings for stunning photos
π Essentials such as safety pins, sewing kit, steamer, plasters, nail files, deodorant .. the list goes on! Everything you need for any wedding morning dramas
πInsta worthy studio for the most stunning wedding morning photos.
..and so much more!
This is why The Pretty Prep Studios are PERFECT π πβ¨οΈ
