Bridal hair & makeup for Reading weddings
Reading and the wider Thames Valley are home to some of Berkshire’s loveliest wedding settings — riverside houses at Sonning, Georgian estates in the countryside south of the town, restored barns and elegant town hotels. Each one asks something slightly different of your bridal hair and makeup, and Jade designs every look around the venue, the season and, most of all, the bride herself.
Jade Victoria has spent more than sixteen years creating bridal hair and makeup for brides across Reading and the Thames Valley. Being based in nearby Windsor means she arrives on the wedding morning calm and on time — no long motorway drive — with a completely personal, luxury look built for you rather than chosen off a chart.
Reading & Thames Valley Venues
Reading wedding venues Jade knows well
A selection of the Reading-area venues Jade has been lucky enough to work at. From riverside houses at Sonning to Georgian estates and barns in the countryside around the town — every one calls for makeup that lasts through the ceremony, the daylight photographs and the first dance.
A short drive, not a long haul
A local wedding hair & makeup artist for Reading
Because Jade is based in nearby Windsor, she can reach Reading, Wokingham, Sonning, Twyford and the surrounding villages easily on the wedding morning — arriving relaxed and on schedule, with no rushed start. Bridal trials take place at her Windsor studio, an easy trip from Reading.
It also means your look is designed by someone who genuinely knows these venues — the riverside light at Sonning is not the light inside a Georgian estate south of the town, and Jade plans for both, so your hair and makeup looks its best from the first look to the last dance.
What’s included for a Reading wedding
The Pre-Wedding Trial
A relaxed session at Jade’s Windsor studio — an easy trip from Reading — where you design your exact look, test product longevity against your skin and agree your hair styling. You leave with photos and notes for the day.
On-Location Wedding Morning
Jade travels to your Reading or Thames Valley venue, or your home, on the wedding morning. Bridal-party hair and makeup is fully scheduled so no one is left waiting, always allowing for the photographer’s pre-ceremony window.
Touch-Ups & Second Looks
Stay-on touch-up kits are left with you, and for larger weddings Jade can remain on site to refresh makeup before the ceremony and restyle hair before the evening reception and first dance.
