It’s getting so close now …✨
I’m so proud to be a national finalist for Best Bridal Individual at the UK Hair & Beauty Awards 2026.

Being recognised for the work I love means so much, especially after years of helping brides feel confident, beautiful and completely themselves on one of the biggest mornings of their lives.

Whatever happens on the day, reaching the finals is something I’m incredibly proud of but of course, I would absolutely love to bring that award home. 🤍

My bride doesn’t normally wear makeup, so it was really important that she still felt completely like herself. 🤍

I kept her makeup fresh, soft and glowing, enhancing her features without making her feel overdone. She loved the finished result, and seeing her feel so beautiful and confident was the best part.

A little glimpse of life behind the bridal mornings. 🤍

Yesterday we spent the most amazing day in Venice, making memories, getting completely lost and taking far too many photos.

Feeling very grateful for a little family time, beautiful views and a chance to switch off before coming back to all of my lovely brides.

Zoe came to me feeling extremely anxious about her skin after a difficult journey with medication, discomfort and changes to her complexion.

On her wedding morning, my aim was to create fresh, radiant skin that felt comfortable, looked beautifully polished and still allowed her to feel completely herself.

Seeing her confidence return was incredibly rewarding. Her skin looked healthy and glowing, and I completed the look with a soft, elegant bridal ponytail.

A bridal transformation built on trust, reassurance and a personalised approach. 🤍

Okay… I have been far too excited to share this one. ✨

Hollywood waves, flawless soft glam and a dress that absolutely stole the show.

This look was the perfect balance of timeless glamour and modern elegance polished, effortless and beautifully feminine.

I always say the right hair and makeup should complement the whole look, never compete with it… and this was one of those moments where everything came together perfectly.

And can we take a moment for that dress… because wow. 💗

Prom is such a special milestone, and being trusted to help create that confidence and excitement before such a big night is something I never take for granted.

Safe to say she looked incredible. ✨

If you know, you know… getting the dress on can be a full team effort. 🤍

We all had a little giggle trying to get everything on, but with everyone pitching in, it soon became a true team effort.

Shoes being slipped on, jewellery being fastened, final adjustments being made… all hands on deck. ✨

Wedding mornings have such a special energy a little bit of chaos, a lot of excitement, and so many moments of laughter in between.

Then, almost in an instant, everything comes together.

Some wedding mornings stay with you long after the day is over… and this was one of them. 🤍

Today wasn’t just about creating beautiful bridal hair and makeup. It was about witnessing moments that simply can’t be recreated.

The final look in the mirror.
Dad’s first reaction… an approving thumbs up. 👍
A kiss, a cuddle, and one of those quiet moments where neither of them needed many words.

Then came the part that made this morning even more special.

Her dad has owned his motorbike for 48 years a huge part of his life and something incredibly meaningful to them both. Today, he took his little girl to her wedding on it.

Watching them disappear into the distance together was one of those unforgettable moments that reminds me why I do what I do.

For me, bridal beauty has never been just about hair and makeup. It’s about creating calm, confidence and being part of the moments that become lifelong memories.

And what a privilege that is. 🤍

Happy tears. 🤍

The wedding morning is filled with so many emotions.

The excitement of getting ready, the anticipation of seeing your partner, the first look with your bridal party, the cuddles from loved ones and, often, more than a few happy tears.

These are the moments that make a wedding day so special. The moments that can’t be recreated.

That’s why bridal makeup is about so much more than looking beautiful. It needs to photograph flawlessly, feel comfortable, and most importantly, last through every tear, hug, smile and dance from morning until night.

As a bridal makeup artist, creating timeless, long-lasting makeup isn’t just about products it’s about understanding the journey of the day and ensuring my brides feel confident, beautiful and themselves through every emotional moment.

And if the happy tears come? I’ve got you covered. ✨

When you’re 13 and already know your contour from your highlighter, you know you’re talking to a beauty enthusiast! 🤍✨

This lovely bridesmaid knew exactly what she liked and was excited to chat all things makeup. In fact, she already owned quite a few products from my own kit!

While she loved the idea of contour, shimmer and glow, my priority was creating a look that felt special for the occasion while still allowing her to look like the beautiful 13-year-old she is.

Soft, fresh makeup, a natural glow and a half-up, half-down hairstyle created the perfect balance elevated enough for a wedding, while keeping everything age-appropriate and effortlessly pretty.

The result was a look that made her feel confident, special and comfortable, without ever losing that youthful beauty 🤍

Not every bride wants a dramatic transformation.

For this beautiful bride, the goal was simple: to feel like herself.

Soft, natural makeup that enhanced rather than concealed, and hair that felt effortless, elegant and comfortable from the moment she walked down the aisle.

With naturally fine, shorter hair, we added soft curls to create extra body, movement and fullness while maintaining the shape of her beautiful bob. Finished with delicate accessories, the result was timeless, understated and completely true to her personal style.

The smile on her face when she saw the finished look said it all.

Sometimes the most beautiful bridal looks are the ones that allow a bride’s natural beauty to take centre stage 🤍✨

Not everyone who sits in my chair wears makeup every day.

In fact, some of the most rewarding transformations are for the women who rarely take time for themselves.

Courtney’s mum told me she never normally wears makeup or has her hair styled, so this was something completely different for her. From her elegant updo to her fascinator and finishing touches, every detail was designed to help her feel special while still feeling like herself.

What I loved most was watching her confidence grow throughout the morning. Stepping outside of her comfort zone in her outfit, embracing the occasion, and seeing her realise just how beautiful she looked.

Sometimes it’s not about changing how someone looks it’s about helping them see what everyone else already sees 🤍

Receiving messages like this never gets old. ❤️

Being trusted with a bride, her bridesmaids, her mam and her mother-in-law on one of the most important mornings of their lives is something I never take for granted.

Thank you for putting your trust in me and for taking the time to send such a lovely message after your wedding day. It means more than you know. 🥹❤️

I’m incredibly grateful and excited to share that Alison Petitjean Bridal Hair & Makeup has been named a National Finalist in the Nation’s Salon Awards 2026! 🤍

To be recognised in the Makeup Artist Customer Service Award category is especially meaningful to me because customer experience has always been at the heart of everything I do.

From the moment a bride enquires to the moment she walks down the aisle, my goal has always been to make every client feel calm, confident, beautiful and completely looked after. Knowing that this has been recognised at a national level means more than I can put into words.

From starting out as a young Saturday girl sweeping salon floors, to building my own luxury bridal business and now becoming a multi-award national finalist, it has been an incredible journey and one I am so grateful for.

Thank you to every bride, client, wedding supplier, friend and family member who has supported me along the way. Your recommendations, reviews, kind words and continued support mean everything. 💖

If you have a moment and would like to support me, I would be so grateful for your vote.
