Q: How do I book Amelia?

A: Firstly you will need to have a consultation and then Amelia will send you a written quote. To confirm your wedding date you need to send back a signed booking form (this will be sent out with the quote) and a deposit (50% of the total package cost)

Q: What is a consultation?

A:  This involves Amelia giving you a call to find out exactly what you would like her to do. We need to do this so that we can determine the correct costing and check that time wise it will all be achievable. You can ask Amelia any questions you may have and she can explain all the services that Amelia offers.

Q: How can I pay?

A: We can accept a bank transfer, cash or cheque (made payable to Amelia Garwood), sorry but Amelia cannot process card payments.

Q: When should I pay the final balance?

A: The balance is payable at the bride's hair & make-up trial. That’s one less thing for you to worry about on your big day.

Q: How soon before the wedding should I book a trial?

A: It is entirely up to you but ideally about 2 months before. This is because your hair will be a similar length and colour as it will be on the wedding day. It is always best to have your hair ornaments at the trial but don’t worry if you haven’t because Amelia can design and hand craft her own so can bring a selection.

Q: Do you come to my home on the day?

A: Yes Amelia travels to your home or chosen venue for your trial, for treatments leading up to the big day and on the day of your wedding.

Q: What will happen at the trial?

A: We will try lots of different hair sculptures and ornaments so you can get a real feel for the image you are going for. We will combine your ideas with Amelia’s expertise and create the perfect look you have been dreaming of. Amelia will make your hair look stunning, whether you want to wear it up or down or half & half. It’s a good idea to look through celebrity & hair magazines and start a scrap book of pictures you like.

Q: If I want my nails done when would you do them and where?

A: Amelia could do them whenever it is convenient to you, nail enhancements or a manicure is sometimes best the night before so you don’t have to worry about it on the day. Amelia would come to your home or hotel to provide any of our luxury treatments. See packages.

Q: When should I wash my hair?

A Never wash it on the day of your wedding as it will be too soft and flyaway. Wash it the night before so it has been slept on. Don’t put any products on it. On the week leading up to the wedding day don’t use any heavy hair treatments or leave in conditioners as this will cause your hair to be heavy and floppy.

Q: What if I need to re-touch my make-up during the day?

A: Your make-up has been professionally applied to last all day, however if you would like Amelia on hand to top up your lipstick and freshen you up before the evening guests arrive, please contact for prices.

Q: Which areas do you cover?

A: Amelia covers Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire. We also do weddings further afield and abroad please contact us to discuss your needs and we can advise you as to whether or not it will be possible.

Q: What if you are ill on my wedding day?

A: In the unlikely event we would send a replacement consultant that had been fully briefed. However, if for any reason this was not possible, you would be given a full refund including your deposit.

Q: What if I decide to cancel my booking?

A: You must notify Amelia of your decision to cancel in writing as soon as possible. Please note that all monies paid at time of cancellation are non refundable.
