ABOUT

So, you’re tying the knot?

 
London Wedding Hair and Makeup Artist
 
 
 

Congratulations!

Welcome to KNOT YOUR AVERAGE BRIDE…

Hey, I'm Zoe, a natural hair and makeup specialist for fashion forward brides and I’m SO glad that you’ve stopped by!

KNOT YOUR AVERAGE BRIDE was born after me becoming seriously bored of seeing the same old wedding hair and makeup everywhere. Yawn.

Honestly, I didn't understand why there had to be a set 'bridal style', so I merged my fashion background into a more modern and wearable take on wedding day styling.

My clients include All Saints, Ted Baker, Topshop and Adidas to name a few so I mean it when I say natural hair and makeup is my first language…

Hi, I'm Zoe.
 
 

“Think TEXTURED hair, NATURAL skin and an EFFORTLESS fusion of bridal meets fashion”

CREATING NATURALLY BEAUTIFUL HAIR AND MAKEUP IS MY THING!

And for the last 10 years I’ve been doing exactly that!

I’m based in Leigh-On-Sea, Essex but have worked all over the world from Miami to Ibiza, Italy to France, and Australia to New Zealand.

I’ve made up over hundreds of brides as well as countless celebrities, including Millie Mackintosh (I’m currently her personal hair and makeup artist)

Ok, now I’m just showing off…

Anyway, It’s SO important to me that my brides look NATURAL and are confident that they’re going to feel like the best versions of themselves on their wedding day.

Surly that’s the ultimate goal right?!

So if you like REAL hair, REAL Skin and a REAL friendly service, you’re exactly where you need to be!

Let’s kiss goodbye to crispy, ridged hair and layers of thick foundation together.

And instead, we can welcome wedding hair and makeup with a modern, fashionable edge…

Ready to look naturally radiant? GREAT!

I can’t wait to meet you!

"Wow. Zoe is insanely talented, calm, professional and also extremely funny. She was an integral part of our day - I cannot reccomend her highly enough. Get married just to be able to use Zoe. Total legend x"

I booked Zoe because her reputation proceeded her. I had photographed models wearing makeup she had applied and I literally hadn't seen someone do it as well as her. There was only one makeup artist I’d book, and it was Zoe! She somehow manages to achieve a flawless finish without cake-ing the makeup on leaving myself and my bridesmaids feeling absolutely gorgeous. She listened to what I wanted and gave me some great skincare advice to practice during the lead-up to the day. She's also a lot of fun to have around and definitely had a way of making everyone feel relaxed on a day where nerves are high. I'd recommend Zoe to anyone!

“Before I go into detail about how me and my bridesmaids looked on the day, I just wanted to personally thank Zoe. Whilst she is so so professional, it also felt as if we had a friend there on the day who just slotted in with all of my bride squad. She also went above and beyond and was willing to help with any extras! Now onto how we looked, my husbands first words were to me that he had never seen my make up look so perfect and he usually hates when I get it professionally done. It stayed on all day and even though my veil got stepped on about a 1000 times my hair was still perfect by the end of the night. My bridesmaids all had quite different styles but Zoe made them feel totally comfortable so that they could ask for tweaks if they wanted. Zoe, I can’t thank you enough for making the trip to Ibiza and making our day even more special! Vicky Xxx”

"My wife and I booked Zoe for our wedding for both our hair and makeup and hair for our bridesmaids. We were both a bit nervous about having our make-up done as we both don't wear any day-to-day. However from the first message Zoe put as both right at ease and instantly reaffirmed that we had made the right choice. We had so much fun on our trial and the planning process that followed was so easy - this woman is organised. Zoe understood exactly what we both wanted, and on the day her work far exceeded our expectations. She made us look and feel amazing (and natural)!

It is also worth saying that we sprung the small matter of not wanting to see each other on the wedding morning on Zoe only a few days before the wedding. This meant not only having to do two brides at the same time, but also running between two separate hotel rooms! As a true testament to Zoe's professionalism she made it happen without any issue, you can't ask or wish for more than that.

We would not hesitate to recommend Knot Your Average Bride. Zoe is simply the best at what she does and one of the nicest, funnest people we have had the pleasure meeting. Thank you Zoe, love Vicky & Jade xxx"

"Zoe is AWESOME! From our very first email exchange to my wedding day, she was absolutely wonderful to work with - talented, professional, responsive, fun and easy-going! My wedding was in Tuscany and I personally flew Zoe to Italy in order for her to do my bridal hair and make-up. I couldn’t have been happier with the results, and I know everyone else (she also did the rest of my bridal party) was equally satisfied. My makeup and hair was completely flawless and I felt like the absolute best version of myself. It's such a personal choice and Zoe listens and customises everything you want. Future brides - remember to still be you on your wedding day, Zoe just makes you look even more beautiful!"

Zoe has a wonderful sense of humour, which is exactly what you want when very nervous on the morning of the wedding. I picked Zoe because she is calm, funny and was amazing at making me look like a beautiful bride! Zoe was absolutely fantastic from start to end. She gave me great advice on my skin care before the day, as I tend to get spots. She was great at communicating and was always so kind (even with my many emails). She is also wonderful at applying make up - she listened to what I wanted and did that and recommended ideas too, which was amazing! Me and my (6) bridesmaids were so pleased with the results!

Zoe is simply lovely to spend time with. Funny, and very generous with her tricks of the trade, my mum, my maid of honour and I all learned something from the time we spent with her, and we felt completley comfortable in her care on the big day. Zoe combines a very high level of skill and professionalism with a personality that puts all generations at ease. She truly listens to what customers want, offers suggestions without imposing her own vision and is not satisfied until you are. She mas meticulously organised on the day and was in control at all times, which enabled our wedding party to relax and enjoy the experience. The finished results were perfect, and lasted throughout the day (and night).
