Meet Gemma

Director/Owner of CELFIE, Bridal Makeup artist & Hairstylist 

Hey, I’m Gemma. Super proud owner of Celfie and Bridal Makeup Artist & Hairstylist (9 Years experience in the Bridal industry & over 20 Years in hairdressing). I devote half my time to this blooming business of mine and the other half to my family. I’m a proud mum of two girls and two doggies – Maisie (Cockapoo) and Frank (Pug). I’m not yet a finacee but have been lucky to of met my soul mate. It was a very long road to finding him!

I would say I am definitely rocking my 30’s era. I find comfort in a pricey glass of white wine, tucking myself up on the sofa with some brand new PJ’s. Watching a crime documentary or catching up on the latest Love is Blind series.

I’m definitely a summer soul. I thrive in warm weather, come alive in spring, and never say no to a sunny getaway – the hotter, the better! A cocktail in hand (usually a Pornstar Martini) and at least two holidays a year are my kind of balance. While I wouldn’t call myself a full-time traveller, I love experiencing different parts of the world. I’m genuinely fascinated by culture and always open to learning about different beliefs, religions, and perspectives.

I’d describe myself as down-to-earth and easy to relate to.

I love hearing a good life story and getting to know all the details of your wedding day plans, it’s those personal touches that make the whole experience so special.

I naturally tune into people’s energy on a wedding morning, and I truly value building a connection with my brides ahead of the big day. I’m known for bringing a calm, grounding presence – the kind you want around when nerves are high and excitement is building. I believe in soaking up every moment with peace, intention, and good vibes only.

I also specialise in acne-prone and oily skin – something I understand deeply from personal experience.

After dealing with acne for over 20 years and undergoing treatment with Roaccutane, I know first-hand how frustrating and emotional the journey can be. This has fuelled my passion for helping others feel confident in their skin. Whether you’re currently managing breakouts, struggling with oil control, or dealing with post-acne concerns, I approach every skin story with care, understanding, and tried-and-tested knowledge.

Bridal soft glam makeup and modern, boho hair are my daily specials — and I never get tired of them. I’m all about that soft cheek glow paired with a beautifully controlled, textured ’do. If this sounds like your dream bridal look, I’d absolutely love to hear from you!
