Bridal Hair & Makeup for Farnham Weddings
Farnham is one of Surrey's most beautiful corners for a wedding — a Georgian market town on the Hampshire border, surrounded by castle grounds, country barns and rolling heath. Liz Patey is a luxury bridal hair and makeup artist who travels to Farnham brides from her base in Wokingham, around forty minutes away, bringing over a decade of experience styling weddings across the South East.
Liz specialises in refined, natural-looking bridal hair and makeup: skin that looks like skin, softly defined features and a finish that lasts from the first photographs through to the last dance. Whether you are marrying in the heart of Farnham or at a country estate nearby, every look is built around you — your dress, your venue and the way you want to feel on the day.
From the trial through to the wedding morning itself, the experience is calm, unhurried and entirely personal, so you can relax and enjoy getting ready with the people who matter most.

Farnham & Surrey Wedding Venues Liz Knows Well
Farnham and its surrounding villages are home to some of Surrey’s most-loved wedding venues, and Liz understands the light, the preparation spaces and the timings at each one. She regularly styles brides for celebrations at Farnham Castle, with its historic Bishop’s Palace and walled gardens, and at Bury Court Barn, the elegant converted barn near Bentley.
She also travels to lakeside weddings at Frensham Pond Hotel, Georgian-house celebrations at Waverley Abbey House, and intimate town gatherings at The Bush Hotel in the centre of Farnham. Knowing each venue means Liz can plan a wedding-morning schedule that flows, find the best natural light for photographs, and make sure your hair and makeup look flawless wherever the day takes you.
Trials & Wedding Mornings
A Calm, Bespoke Wedding Morning in Farnham
Your bridal trial is where your Farnham wedding look takes shape. Liz will talk through your dress, your hairstyle, your venue and the feeling you want, then test tones, textures and hair options until everything feels right. It is a relaxed appointment with plenty of time to ask questions and refine the details.
On the wedding morning, Liz travels to you and works to a clear schedule, leaving space for final touches, photographs and the quiet moments before the ceremony. If your bridesmaids, mother or wider party also need hair and makeup, Liz can plan the timings and bring trusted assistants so everyone is ready, calm and camera-ready on time.
Farnham sits within easy reach of Liz’s regular travel area across Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire, including Guildford, Aldershot, Fleet and Farnborough, so wedding-morning logistics are simple to arrange.
