Cultural Weddings & Events

For the Bride Who Celebrates Culture and Glamour...

Your wedding day is more than just a ceremony—it's a celebration of your heritage, your story, and your beauty.

At Clarette FX, I specialise in elevating cultural bridal looks with luxurious glam, seamless dupatta draping, and the perfect setting of your maang tikka and passa—so you feel confident, radiant, and truly like you.

With over a decade of experience in bridal hair and makeup, I’ve had the honour of working with stunning brides from a wide range of cultures, including Indian, Afghan, and Saudi weddings. Whether you're getting married in Christchurch, somewhere else in Canterbury, or saying “I do” against the breathtaking backdrop of Queenstown, I’ll be there to take care of every beauty detail—so you can focus on soaking in every moment.

At Clarette FX, you’ll receive...

• Full glam makeup (with optional soft glam or natural finishes)

• Complimentary false lashes and a touch-up lip pot to keep your look flawless all day

• Bridal hair tailored to your style—whether that’s voluminous waves, elegant buns, or intricate braids

• Dupatta setting, tikka and passa pinning, and photography-ready final touches

• Use of premium hair and makeup products, including vegan and cruelty-free options for all skin tones and types

My pricing is inclusive, transparent, and designed with flexibility in mind—no hidden costs based on hair length or makeup style.

When you book with Clarette FX, you're not just hiring a hair and makeup artist—you're investing in peace of mind, years of cultural bridal experience, and a calming presence who will have you looking and feeling your absolute best.

Let’s bring your dream bridal look to life—one tikka pin, one brush stroke, and one radiant smile at a time.
