Kate's Palm Cove Wedding Day

Originally from Cairns, Kate travelled back to her home town from Bowen for a tropical beach wedding on the golden sand at Palm Cove.

Kate met us a few weeks before her wedding for a Cairns makeup and hair trial in the city where we transformed her locks into soft blonde beachy curls and smoked her eyes with some natural brown tones (and just a hint of bronze!) to really pop her beautiful big green eyes.

The sun shone on Kate’s wedding day as we worked throughout the morning doing makeup and hair for her beautiful sisters who were to be Kate’s bridesmaids, her mum and mother-in-law as well as her gorgeous little flowergirl and some wedding guests. It was a lovely relaxed day of laughter and excitement in the comfort of Kate’s resort room at Reef House Palm Cove.

After we left, Cairns wedding photographer Nathan Kelly arrived to spend the rest of the day with the couple and their family and friends, capturing some very special memories of a wonderful celebration of love and life long commitment.

Meagan sent us some lovely emails after her special day.

Hi ladies,

This is an email to say a HUGE thank you for your efforts in assisting with my big day.

All morning it was such a pleasure to have you use your highly professional and incredibly skilled work on my beautiful friends and I.

All of us were incredibly happy with the end results of both hair and makeup. We appreciated the open and honest relationship we were able to have with you both, and that you were willing to take advice but also offer your own honest opinions as well! There is nothing better than having people who are not afraid to tell us what they think, considering you ladies are the professionals and have a lot more experience than us!

The girls looked absolutely gorgeous and were exactly what I wanted my bridesmaids to look like. My hair and makeup was spot on as well and the photos have turned out fabulous.

You went above and beyond in every way. There is no way we would have looked as beautiful if I didn’t choose you to service us on the day. 

Hi ladies,

Just HAD to send another email with more photos to share – I am so so proud of them they are all so stunning. Our makeup and hair was perfect. I know I’ve said this before but thank you so so much for all you did for me on the day.  We were all so happy with the end result.  There is no way we could have looked as good as we did without you all!

Here’s a few more pics that will showcase your wonderful work Can highly recommend you to any girl wanting to look amazing for her special occasion!

Thanks so very much.
All the best,
Meagan Middleton

That’s what Carly did!

Originally from Cairns, Adam and Carly decided to get married in his home town.

We met the couple a few months before the big day to do a trial with Carly for her hair and makeup.

She chose to use the occasion for their engagement shoot which meant they got amazing photos!

On the wedding day we traveled to Thala Beach Lodge near Port Douglas to do hair and makeup for Carly and her mum as they took in the stunning coastal views from their resort room.

Having already had a trial Carly knew exactly what she wanted and what to expect in terms of preparation time and the hair and makeup process.

Catseye Productions in Port Douglas captured the couple’s big day as they tied the knot in Port Douglas and then celebrated with family and friends at the Sugar Wharf on the waterfront.

Dani says I Do at Palm Cove - Wedded bliss!

Dani met her fiance in Australia…which might not seem that odd but for the fact she’s American and was Down Under on a working holiday when they met.

As love blossomed, what was meant to be a year of working and traveling in Oz soon saw Dani settling in Sydney and planning her wedding!

During her travels Dani had worked in Far North Queensland and decided she wanted a tropical Cairns wedding so she chose Sea Temple Resort Palm Cove for her big day.

We traveled to Dani’s resort room and spent the morning doing hair and makeup for her bridesmaids and her amazing mum – who is a five time marathon runner – before turning our attention to the bride.

Benn from Blue Sky Photography joined us as we were adding the finishing touches to Dani’s hair and makeup. He has captured some beautiful photos for the couple to show friends and family back home.

Kara's Tropical Cairns Wedding

Kara and Alex chose a tropical Cairns wedding for their big day which meant tropical Cairns wedding makeup and hair! Soft curls, contoured cheeks, glossy lips and beautiful eyes.

They were married at the Cairns Courthouse so you might wonder why Kara booked Finesse Makeup and Hair to come to her hotel room to professionally style her hair and makeup.

There’s a simple answer!

This couple knew they wanted to capture some beautiful memories of their special day so they booked makeup and hair then an afternoon photoshoot with the incredibly talented and oh so easy to work with Tammy from Tamara Kate Photography.

Not only did they get some stunning images – see below – the images were ready for a sneak peak within just two days!

After spending a few hours at the Botanical Gardens and having fun as the sun set over a stunning Far North Queensland canefield – the couple then spent the night celebrating with family and friends at Rydges Resort in the city.

This meant Kara’s makeup and hair needed to look fresh for 12 hours – no problem!

Because of the tropical North Queensland climate, we use professional, water-proof foundations which are designed to resist humidity, tears and perspiration. Combined with the best quality products from MAC, Makeup Store and Napoleon Perdis, Kara’s makeup went the distance.

When styling hair we use a combination of hot rollers, straightening irons, serums, waxes, sprays and volumisers which ensured Kara’s beautiful curls lasted all day and night.

While our brides might not be locals, we are, so we know which products work in a tropical climate.

Candice and Ed tie the knot at Palm Cove in Cairns

Originally from Australia but now living in the UK, physical education teacher Candice brought her beau Ed 16,500 kilometres to the sandy shores of Palm Cove Beach, just north of Cairns, to tell him she wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.

We met the couple a few days before the wedding to do a hair and makeup trial for Candice so that we could work out the type of look she was after and we all just clicked.

Having had the pre-wedding catch-up, the day itself went like clockwork as we provided makeup and hair at the Sea Temple Resort for Candice’s mum, her sister, Ed’s mum and then finally our beautiful bride.

Tracey from Azure Photography arrived just as we were leaving and Candice was slipping into her dress so we didn’t get a chance to fully appreciate the final result but the photos below are outstanding!

Congratulations Candice and Ed! And a huge thanks to Candice’s sister Alissa for an amazing job as a wedding planner!
