Expert Interview

Welcome to my first interview with one of my brides who was recently married. I have decided to bring you regular interviews with 'wedding experts' including those who have done it themselves! To help you with the planning progress! If you have any questions that you would like answered by other brides, email them to me at makeup@katemckenna.com.au and I will be sure to include them in my next interview! Enjoy!

Today I am speaking to the lovely Melissa Parkinson who was married on 23rd January 2011. Melissa is currently on her year long honeymoon, but found the time to do this interview!

Where was your wedding?

On the sand at North Burleigh

What did you love the most about your wedding makeup?

I loved how natural I looked.I hardly ever wear makeup. I don't wear it everyday so I was a bit worried that I wouldn't look like myself but that wasn't the case.

Did you have a trial? If so did you find it beneficial?

I did have a trial about 4 months before my wedding day and everything was perfect on the big day. It was beneficial to me because as mentioned before I don't wear makeup so this gave me the opportunity to see Kates work and how everything would be done on the day.

Is there anything you would have changed?

No not at all. Kate was so lovely and nice and really made me, my bridesmaids and my mum feel comfortable.

Do you have any advice for brides to be regarding hair and makeup?

I would say to defintely have a trial and speak up if there is anything you don't want or like. Everyone is only trying to help you and make your day exactly what you want. Only go with people and companies that you feel happy with.

Are there any other people in the wedding industry that you found exceptional to deal with and would like to refer to other brides?

Everyone that was a part of my wedding was fantastic. To start with Kate was amazing!
