Getting ready at The EarthHouse

The EarthHouse sits high above the Corndale Valley, a rammed-earth retreat wrapped in 110 acres of farmland with 180-degree views across the Nightcap Ranges. It is one of those rare Byron hinterland properties where the light does half the work for you, soft and golden through the wide verandahs in the morning, warm and unhurried by the time you walk to the fig tree. We love getting ready here, and we think you will too.

We are Tina and Kristen, sisters who trained in both hair and makeup, and we come to you. There is no early drive to a salon and no rushing back. We arrive at your boutique room on the property, set up by the window where the valley light is best, and shape the morning around you so it feels calm rather than chaotic. You stay put, coffee in hand, while we work through the bridal party at an easy pace.

Our look is natural, soft and sun-kissed, the kind of makeup and hair that suits Byron and suits a long day outdoors. We build it to last from your first photos under the fig tree right through to the last dance on the verandah, so you look like yourself the whole way through, just polished and glowing.

Local knowledge

Why The EarthHouse is a dream to get ready at

Light made for makeup

The boutique rooms open onto the Corndale Valley with soft, even morning light pouring through. We set up by the window so we can see true colour and depth, which is exactly what natural, sun-kissed makeup needs to read beautifully in your photos.

Everything in one place

With on-site accommodation for the bridal party, you can wake up, get ready and walk to your ceremony without leaving the property. We come to your room, so there is no salon run, no traffic and no watching the clock, just a slow, settled morning at the venue.

A look built for a long hinterland day

Open verandahs, valley breezes and warm afternoons are part of the magic here. We use long-wear, photography-friendly products and finish hair to hold through ceremony, sunset photos and dancing, so you feel fresh from the fig tree right through the night.

A calm morning

Sample wedding-morning timeline

A relaxed sample morning for a bride plus four having hair and makeup, walking to a mid-afternoon ceremony at The EarthHouse. We tailor exact timings to your guest count and ceremony time.

8:00 am
We arrive and set up
We come to your boutique room on the property and set up our station by the window, where the Corndale Valley light is softest. Coffee on, music on, no rush.
8:30 am
Bridal party begins
We start working through the bridal party for hair and makeup, both of us going at once so the morning stays calm and on schedule.
11:30 am
Bride's turn
We save you for last so your hair and makeup are at their freshest. This is the slow, lovely part of the morning, just you, us and the view.
1:00 pm
Final touches and photos
A last check of everything, lips topped up, a little hairspray, and you are camera-ready for getting-ready photos on the verandah before you walk down.
1:30 pm
We hand you over
We step back as you head to the fig tree, glowing and completely yourself. We can stay on for a touch-up before the ceremony if you would like.
Experience you can trust

Calm, natural and completely you

Our approach is unhurried by design. Because we come to you and both work across hair and makeup, the morning at The EarthHouse stays gentle and on time, no salon dashes, no overlap, just two sisters quietly working through your bridal party while you take in the view. We have done enough hinterland mornings to know how to read the light and the schedule so you are never the one watching the clock.

We specialise in soft, sun-kissed Byron looks that enhance rather than mask. We want you to recognise yourself in the mirror and in your photos, glowing and fresh, with hair and makeup that hold up to a full day at The EarthHouse, from the fig-tree ceremony to sunset over the Nightcap Ranges and dancing on the verandah well into the evening.

Venue FAQs

Do you come to The EarthHouse to do our hair and makeup? +

Yes. We are fully mobile and travel to you. We come to your boutique room on the property and set up there, so you can get ready in comfort with the valley view and never have to leave the venue.

How far is The EarthHouse from Byron Bay and the Gold Coast Airport? +

The EarthHouse is in Clunes in the Byron hinterland, around 25 minutes from Byron Bay and about 10 minutes from Bangalow. From Gold Coast Airport it is roughly 35 to 45 minutes by car. We factor our own travel into your morning so your timeline is never tight.

Can you do both hair and makeup for the whole bridal party? +

Yes. We are sisters who are both trained in hair and makeup, so the two of us can move through the bridal party efficiently. The EarthHouse rooms suit a bride plus around three to five for getting ready, and we will recommend a start time based on your numbers.

Will my makeup last through a long day in the hinterland? +

That is exactly what we plan for. Afternoons at The EarthHouse can be warm and the verandahs are open to the breeze, so we use long-wear, photography-friendly products and set everything to hold from your first photos under the fig tree through to the last dance.

Do you offer a trial before the wedding? +

We do, and we recommend one so we can perfect your soft, natural look together before the day. Trials are booked separately and we will talk through the look you want, your dress and the EarthHouse setting so everything feels right.
