Beautiful, luxurious hair and makeup for UK and destination weddings, proms and special occasions.

Dannielle
Your bridal fairy godmother
Hello, lovely
My name is Dannielle. I am a professional Hair & Makeup Artist based in Essex. I provide beautiful hair and makeup looks for Weddings both UK and destination, Proms and Special Occasions.
Before Be Bridal, I worked as a performer in Disneyland Paris and for the Walt Disney Company for many years, travelling all over the world. Watching the cosmetology department restyle wigs and create new looks for the characters sparked my love for makeup and hair styling.
I trained as a makeup artist and went on to work for MAC Cosmetics, then trained in hair styling before founding Be Bridal — bringing everything I love together in one very special role.
“I believe that everyone is beautiful in their own unique way. Your bridal makeup should enhance your natural features and your wedding hair should compliment your face shape and, of course, the dress!”
I’m not just your hair and makeup artist, but that extra pair of hands, your calming influence, your friend and your support.
New
Destination Weddings
Before Be Bridal, I spent years living and working internationally with Disney — so packing my kit and hopping on a plane isn’t a stretch for me, it’s second nature.
Taking Be Bridal abroad is something I’ve always wanted to do, so this is a wonderfully exciting new chapter. Whether you’re saying I do in a sun-drenched villa, a vineyard or with your toes in the sand, I’ll bring the same Bridal Fairy Godmother magic I’d bring to an Essex barn — wherever in the world that takes me.
Your hair & makeup trial and full consultation are done over video call before you fly — so there are no surprises on the day.
Products chosen specifically to stand up to humidity, heat and salt air, holding beautifully all day, wherever you say I do.
A travel-sized touch-up kit is left with you, so your look stays perfect for the rest of your trip.

Soft glamour, timeless hair and every thoughtful finishing touch.

Kind words
“Not only did you make me look absolutely beautiful for my big day but you went above and beyond what you needed to do! Everyone was soooo complimentary about my hair and make up all day! It’s the morning after and my hair hasn’t moved, it’s still perfectly in place!”
Mrs Sarah Stanger
The Lion Inn · Boreham, Essex
“I cannot thank you enough for the amazing job you did with my hair and make up. I'm not the easiest and I change my mind like the wind but that didn't bother you at all, you went above and beyond to make everything perfect. I have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day, I barely recognised myself. I received so many compliments on my hair and make up on the day as well as the day after (forgot to take it off) — I felt like an actual princess. My bridesmaids' hair was absolutely stunning as well and I know they loved it. You made us all feel at ease in the morning and made sure I had breaks to drink my Buck's Fizz. I cannot thank you enough for everything.”
Mrs Shannon Robey
Channels Estate · Chelmsford, Essex
“Dannielle was so lovely, both at my trial and on my wedding day, and in all messages. She really put everyone at ease and helped us all feel relaxed as we were getting ready. The flower girls took to her immediately and bombarded her with pictures they had drawn, which she accepted very graciously (despite being pretty busy!). My hair and make up stayed in place all day — I didn't have to worry or retouch anything other than lipstick, which was no mean feat (especially as I was nursing a horrible cold, but am told no one could tell). Would absolutely recommend, thank you x”
Mrs Daniella Emery
Apton Hall · Rochford, Essex
“Dannielle is such a wonderful person. From the moment I met Dannielle to the actual wedding she was relaxed, professional and above all she felt like a friend I had known for years. She did my hair and makeup, 3 bridesmaids and mother of the bride makeup. Dannielle is a genius with hair and makeup. I felt stunning on my wedding day and that's an achievement as I'm not the most confident of people but I felt amazing with my makeup and hair. The bridesmaids looked beautiful and their makeup lasted all day (as did mine). Finally my mum, she looked beautiful. She said she felt wonderful. Everyone commented on how beautiful she looked and thanks to Dannielle and her make up she had made my mum shine. I would 100% recommend Dannielle for your special day ladies xxxx”
Mrs Lisa Coxall
The Lawn · Rochford, Essex
“Where do I start? I honestly don't think I could have asked for anybody kinder or calmer to do my hair and make up and all my bridesmaids make up. Dannielle, you were incredible and made our day so special. You made everyone feel amazing and kept us all calm. You went above and beyond for all of us. You even included the flower girl, my young daughter, who was nervous and a little bored of being in the bridal suite. But your special lipgloss and touch of blush made her gleam with joy! Thank you, thank you, thank you! xxxxx”
Mrs Charlotte Barker
Apton Hall · Rochford, Essex
“Dannielle did such a fantastic job for my bridal hair and make up. I looked and felt great! She was also a really calming influence on the morning of the wedding. She did my mum and sisters make up too and they both loved it! None of us tend to wear a lot of make up day to day and Dannielle managed to make us all look glowing and beautiful without caking it on. Make up stayed on all day despite the heat and my hair stayed in place too. Highly recommend her!”
Mrs Amy Mead
Newlands Hall · Chelmsford, Essex
“I can't recommend Dannielle enough for bridal hair and make up. She is absolutely lovely and made the whole morning stress free and fun, exactly what I wanted it to be! Everyone absolutely loved her and all of our hair and make up was beautiful and lasted all day. Dannielle listens to what you want and makes sure you are 100% happy. Communication throughout, from initial enquiry, to the trial run to the big day itself, was quick and friendly so there was no unnecessary stress. Thank you again Dannielle, you're fab at what you do! xx”
Mrs Kathryn Fenton-Jones
Braintree Town Hall, Essex
“I couldn't have asked for a better hair & make up artist for my wedding day. Not only is Dannielle extremely talented at what she does, she also listens to you and what you want and makes you feel completely at ease. Despite a complete hairstyle change on the day due to the extreme hot weather, my hair & make up looked fabulous and were exactly how I wanted them. I felt so confident and special, all thanks to Dannielle. Never had so many compliments on my hair before! Thank you so much Dannielle xx”
Mrs Georgina Thirkell
High House · Althorne, Essex
“Very impressed with Dannielle's skills as a makeup artist. Not only her understanding of faces, ages and styles but her professional, calming manner. She stepped into someone else's shoes for my daughter, the Bride, when another makeup artist behaved appallingly on her day. Dannielle will definitely be our go to makeup artist from now on. Someone that enhances an individual, rather than cover with glamour make up. Thank you xx”
Joanna Colby
Mother of the Bride · Leez Priory, Chelmsford, Essex
“Dannielle, the skills that you have are simply amazing. Not just in make up and hair but you also have a way to make us all feel relaxed, calm and beautiful. Thank you for everything you did for me and my bridesmaids on the run up and on the most important day of my life to date. You are awesome. xx”
Mrs Leanne Seward
Newlands Hall · Chelmsford, Essex
“Just want to say a massive thank you for making me look so beautiful! You made me look and feel like a princess. Everyone commented on how lovely I looked and I'm so thankful to you for being part of my special day. You are truly talented, thank you so so much xxx”
Mrs Rosie Abbott
Cromwell Manor · Pitsea, Essex
“Dannielle did mine and my bridesmaid's hair for my wedding and she was amazing! The girls' hair looked stunning and stayed in all day. I have quite short hair and everyone was amazed with what she managed to do, it looked beautiful! I couldn't have been happier. 100% recommend her, thank you Dannielle xx”
