Dreaming of a wedding in the Danish countryside, by the sea or in a manor house? I am Sladjana, a bridal makeup artist and hairstylist based in Copenhagen, and I travel across all of Sjælland to get you ready wherever your day happens.
Do you do bridal makeup and hair anywhere in Zealand?
Yes. I come to your home, hotel or venue across all of Zealand. Travel outside Copenhagen is priced on request, so tell me your location and date and I will reply with the details.
My style is skin-first and refined: a natural Nordic glow, timeless elegance or modern glamour, with hair from soft romantic curls to sleek buns, relaxed bohemian styles and timeless updos. As a wedding photographer (slakarvounis.com) since 2011, I understand how colour, texture and light behave in photographs, which matters most for outdoor weddings. I work in English and Danish, and I can plan your brudemakeup and brudehår in either.
What does it cost?
Bridal Makeup & Hair is €300, Bridal Makeup is €180 and Bridal Hairstyling is €180. Bridesmaids, mothers and guests pay €200 for makeup and hair, or €120 for makeup or hairstyling alone.
A trial session, all-day touch-ups, early-morning starts and travel outside Copenhagen are on request. The full list is on the packages page.
Which towns in North Zealand do you cover?
I cover the north coast and the historic towns inland. The notes below describe typical wedding settings, not venues I have worked at.
Helsingør
Helsingør is known for Kronborg Castle and its harbour front, and couples often photograph around the old town and the water. Wind off the Øresund is common, so I choose styling and product that holds, and we can test it at your trial.
Hillerød
Hillerød is home to Frederiksborg Castle, set on its lake, and the surrounding gardens are a classic backdrop for formal portraits. Elegant updos and soft, polished makeup suit that setting. Leave room in the timeline for walking between photo spots.
Frederikssund
Frederikssund sits on Roskilde Fjord, with water views and a relaxed harbour mood. It suits informal, romantic weddings, and soft waves with a bohemian touch look natural by the water.
Which towns in central and southern Zealand do you cover?
The middle and south of the island have cathedral towns, harbours, cliffs and countryside. Distances are longer, so share your timeline with me early.
Roskilde
Roskilde has a famous cathedral, a fjord and a Viking heritage, and it is a popular choice for couples who want history and calm. It is easy to reach from Copenhagen, which makes early ceremonies realistic.
Køge
Køge has a pretty old town of timbered houses and a marina. Cobbled lanes call for sensible shoes, and the marina gives lovely evening light for portraits.
Stevns and Stevns Klint
Stevns is known for the dramatic white chalk cliffs of Stevns Klint. Cliff-top and coastal photographs are glorious but windy, so a secure, textured hairstyle and a makeup finish designed to last are worth planning for. Check the weather and bring a layer between portraits.
Holbæk, Ringsted, Slagelse and Næstved
These towns are the gateways to rural Zealand, with fjord views, farmland, forests and lakes. Many couples here choose a countryside venue or a family home. For longer days, I suggest the optional all-day touch-up service, so you look fresh from ceremony to party.
Odsherred and the coast
Odsherred has wide beaches, dunes and summerhouse country on the north-west coast. It is dreamy for relaxed weddings, with sand and sea breeze to consider. I suggest flat sandals for the beach and a hairstyle with movement rather than heavy lacquer.
Can you do makeup and hair for a manor house (herregård) wedding?
Yes. Manor houses (herregårde) across Zealand are popular for weddings, and they usually have rooms where you can get ready in beautiful natural light. I come to the house, and I do not claim any past work at specific venues; my focus is making your look right for the setting.
- Ask your venue which room is available for getting ready, and the best time to arrive.
- Confirm access, parking and the nearest power socket.
- Choose a timeless updo or romantic curls to match the architecture.
- Plan a trial so we can see your look in daylight.
How do I plan the timeline for a wedding outside the city?
Start with the ceremony time and work backwards, adding a generous buffer for travel and photographs. I come to you, so there is no need for you to travel to a salon on your wedding morning.
- Tell me the ceremony time, the address of the getting-ready location and the venue.
- I will suggest a start time a few hours before the ceremony, with time for breaks.
- Bridesmaids and mothers can be booked before or after you, so everyone is ready on time.
- Hair and accessories such as veil, pins and flowers are styled last.
If your wedding is a long way from Copenhagen, some couples prefer to book a hotel room nearby the night before. That keeps the morning calm and makes an early start easy.
What should I know about beach weddings?
For a beach wedding, choose a longwearing, skin-first makeup finish and a hairstyle that works with the wind instead of fighting it. I bring a long-lasting finish and a touch-up plan, and you keep a small kit for blotting and lip colour.
Because the schedule matters, I suggest an early start, with time for breaks. Get in touch through the contact section, email slakarvounis@gmail.com, call +45 9398 0986, or use WhatsApp at wa.me/4593980986. Instagram: @nordicmakeupartist.
