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 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.

De Vere Wokefield Estate
Reading · Berkshire
A Georgian mansion and 250-acre estate in the countryside just south of Reading, with soaring sash windows and beautiful natural light in the bridal suite. A dream to get ready in, and a brief for a skin finish that looks flawless in every frame. Bridal makeup at Wokefield Estate →
Wasing Park
Aldermaston · near Reading
A 17th-century chapel, walled garden and great granary barn set in 1,000 acres of Berkshire parkland west of Reading. Outdoor ceremonies here call for a skin-led look that performs in bright garden light and soft barn lamplight alike. Bridal makeup at Wasing Park →
The Great House at Sonning
Sonning · near Reading
A romantic riverside hotel on the Thames at Sonning, with waterside gardens and warm, historic interiors. A setting that suits timeless bridal hair and softly luminous makeup.
Ufton Court
Sulhamstead · near Reading
A beautiful Elizabethan manor house and tithe barn set in ancient parkland south-west of Reading — heritage interiors that reward a considered, timeless bridal look.
Trunkwell House
Beech Hill · Reading
A charming Victorian country house in its own private grounds just south of Reading, popular for relaxed, elegant celebrations that run from a garden ceremony beneath mature oak trees into an evening reception. Jade is a recommended supplier. Bridal makeup at Trunkwell House →
Town & Thames Valley hotels
Reading · Wokingham
Jade also works at hotels and venues across the town and surrounding villages, including Malmaison and The Forbury in central Reading, Cantley House and Hilton St Anne’s Manor at Wokingham, and Herons Farm near Pangbourne.

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.

More from Jade Victoria

Reading sits at the heart of Berkshire, so many brides here also look at venues across the county and just over the border. See Jade’s Berkshire bridal hair & makeup, Surrey and Buckinghamshire pages, or the full bridal hair and makeup service with trials and what’s included.
