🏆 RECOGNISED BY OUR COUPLES FOR THE SECOND YEAR RUNNING 🙌🎊

We’re incredibly honoured to be named a Finalist in the 2026 Couples’ Choice Awards… for the second year in a row!

To be recognised by the couples we’ve had the privilege of working with means the absolute world to us.

Every early morning, every trial, every email, every touch-up, every happy tear… it’s all worth it knowing we’ve played a small part in helping our brides feel beautiful, confident and cared for on one of the biggest days of their lives.

A huge thank you to every couple who trusted us with their wedding day and took the time to leave a review. We truly couldn’t do this without you. ❤️

Congratulations to all of the other finalists and winners across New Zealand. What an incredible industry to be part of.

From the moment we met Nicole she just had this old Hollywood presence and ethereal beauty about her. Her wedding images are every bit as we envisaged - timeless, classic, and elegant!

Nicole you are a showstopper! Not to mention one of the sweetest brides ever! 🥰

“I’m so grateful for the fantastic service from Levarna and team. Communication throughout the initial booking, trial, and the wedding was seamless and good quality. Fantastic skill level also. Can’t recommend highly enough!”

“I had a recommendation from a friend who had used your company multiple times. The communication throughout was amazing and I was so happy with our hairstyles. Katy was so friendly and kind and made me feel so comfortable for the trial and on my wedding Day. Thank you so much for everything, from enquiry to my special day you were amazing to deal with. We all loved our hair on the day and cannot thank you enough!”

The highlight hair and makeup reel from Minja’s wedding on Saturday! 😍

Can you believe that view isn’t from a wedding venue but from her own back door!!

The weather was absolutely stunning, and her “flowers like you picked them yourself in summer meadows” were so gorgeous.

They are a beautiful bunch of people and we had the best day! 🥰

"When it came time to book my wedding hair/makeup I had no doubt about Belles & Brides given they had done my makeup and hair a number of years ago when I was a bridesmaid for my sisters wedding.
I love what they did then and I loved what they did for me for my own wedding day. I love the genuine and down to earth nature of the team and experience/advice they provided. I absolutely adored my hair and make-up on the day (and know my family members who also got hair and makeup done, did too). Seeing it back in our photos is so special (and it photographed so well too). It lasted all day, and it was a very, very long day at that (ceremony started midday, reception finished midnight). I got so many compliments from our guests on my hair and make up!!
Carol (makeup) and Matty (hair) were incredible at my trial (which did take longer than initially thought, but I so appreciated their commitment to ensure I was happy) as well as, of course, on the day. Levarna (owner) was also incredible with the booking/logistics, and checking in she did in the lead-up and follow-up of the day. Can't recommend Belles & Brides enough :)"
