Elysian Hills Wedding Hair & Makeup
Getting ready at Elysian Hills, high above Carool in the Tweed hinterland
Elysian Hills sits high near the peak of Mt Carool, around 1,100 feet above sea level, on 77 acres of open fields and untouched rainforest with expansive ocean and hinterland views falling away in the distance. That kind of elevated, open ridge-top light is exactly what we love working with - soft and golden first thing, 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 on the property, 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 hinterland day.
What we know about getting ready at Elysian Hills
Elysian Hills offers on-site accommodation including a suite with a beauty room, so you can prepare right there on the property. We set up near a window for natural daylight, with a powerpoint nearby for tools.
Up near the peak of Mt Carool 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.
Elysian Hills is tucked high up the range, 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 hinterland wedding
Elysian Hills is a ridge-top estate where the views do the heavy lifting - and that's where a calm, experienced team matters. We're both professionally trained, fully insured, and at home with hinterland 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 Elysian Hills' natural setting and last beautifully.
