CLIENTS & FEATURES
Mobile in Ottawa
Hair and makeup that travels to you, anywhere in the capital region
Since our early days, Corrie Elle Artistry has served Ottawa brides as part of our Toronto and Ottawa collective. Whether you’re getting ready in a Glebe walk-up, a Kanata family home or a suite downtown, we set up a calm, well-lit space and work to your schedule, not a salon’s.
Ottawa weddings also have their own rhythm: early summer ceremonies in the Gatineau Hills, garden receptions along the Rideau, winter celebrations with long drives between photos and dinner. For this reason, we plan your hair and makeup around that day, choosing techniques and products that hold through humidity, wind and a full evening of dancing.
Are you also bringing the whole wedding party? We schedule each person in order, starting with whoever needs to be ready first for photos, so nobody is rushed and the bride always finishes last and freshest.

Wedding hair Ottawa
Bridal hair in Ottawa, built to last the day
From sleek low buns that survive a windy terrace to soft waves that hold through a summer reception, every bridal hairstyle starts with the right prep for your hair type, so it holds until the last dance. We pin, set and finish with your veil and accessories in mind, and leave you with a few tips for touch-ups before the evening.
Before we apply your wedding makeup in Ottawa, we prep your skin for the season: extra hydration for dry winter air, oil control and long-wear formulas for humid July afternoons. Then we build a look that reads beautifully in natural light, under reception lighting and up close in your photographer’s portraits.

“Everyone looked and felt beautiful”
Corrie is truly incredible! She was so accommodating, flexible, and kind throughout the entire process. […] On the wedding day, she styled my hair, my mom’s, and my four bridesmaids’ — and everyone looked and felt beautiful, while still feeling like themselves. Corrie is so talented, professional, and just a joy to be around. I would recommend her without a doubt to any bride looking for someone who truly goes above and beyond!

“Calm and beautiful from the inside out”
Corrie is an excellent choice if you are looking for hair and makeup services! I hired her to do bridal hmu for myself, 3 bridesmaids and my mom and everyone looked so beautiful. […] Her emails leading up to my big day were prompt and full of helpful tips. She and Allison were both such joys to have in the room that morning. Corrie made me feel calm and beautiful from the inside out, I am so grateful she was with me. I can’t recommend her and her team enough.

“A testament to Corrie’s skill”
Corrie is an expert artist, an absolute professional and uses the highest quality products. I would work with her again in a heartbeat! She was very attentive to the style my mother and I wanted for my brother’s wedding day. My mother and I received many compliments 🙂 My hair and makeup lasted through Ottawa’s summer humidity, a three-course meal, and a night of dancing – definitely a testament to Corrie’s skill and the quality of products she uses.

Your trial
Try your look, adjust it and take photos, so the morning holds no surprises.
03
Wedding morning
Your artists arrive at your home, hotel or venue with everything they need, and then work through the party in order.

Final touches
Before you leave, we check every look, set your lipstick and send you off ready for the aisle.
