Botanica Plantation House Wedding Hair & Makeup
Getting ready at Botanica Plantation House, on the plantation at Duranbah
Botanica Plantation House sits within Tropical Fruit World, a 200-acre working farm tucked into the Tweed Coast hinterland at Duranbah. It's a true plantation setting - sprawling gardens, sun-kissed fruit orchards and the iconic cactus gardens, with panoramic views reaching across the Tweed Valley to Wollumbin (Mt Warning) and out to the Pacific Ocean. That open, orchard light is exactly the kind we love working with - soft and golden early, then bright and clear as the day opens up. We build your hair and makeup to glow in it, never to fight it.
As a mobile sister duo, we come to you. Both of us are professionally trained in hair AND makeup, so we arrive together as a team of two, set up in your getting-ready space, and keep the whole morning calm and unhurried.
Our style is natural, soft and sun-kissed - the kind of look that feels like you, only more luminous. We make sure your skin reads beautifully and that everything holds through a long day on the plantation.
What we know about getting ready at Botanica Plantation House
Botanica has an on-site bridal suite, so most couples prepare right there on the property. We set up near a window for natural daylight, with a powerpoint nearby for tools, and keep everything relaxed.
Out across the orchards and gardens the light is open and generous - soft early, then bright and clear. We build skin and eyes that look beautiful in person and on camera.
Botanica is set on a large plantation with views to make the most of, so we plan a relaxed start with a buffer - finishing the bride with time to breathe before guests arrive.

A safe pair of hands for your plantation wedding
Botanica Plantation House is a stunning hinterland estate where so much of the day happens outdoors, among the gardens and orchards - and that's where a calm, experienced team matters. We're both professionally trained, fully insured, and at home with hinterland and garden venues like this.
Because we work as a sister duo, you get two trained artists who keep a morning relaxed and finish on time, with looks that suit Botanica's natural, sun-kissed setting and last beautifully through the day.
