Femme Bridal Crew is a Rome-based team of wedding hair and makeup artists, founded by lead artist Vanessa Fornaro and working with international couples across Italy, including Tuscany and Umbria.

Vanessa thinks about a bridal look the way a perfumer thinks about a niche fragrance; it should be bespoke to suit each person. She isn't swayed by passing trends, and designs each look around the bride's own features and style. Alongside the hair and makeup itself, Femme Bridal Crew plans the logistics and timings for the morning, so getting ready runs to schedule.

We love Femme Bridal Crew for brides who want Italian wedding hair and makeup that still looks like them, with a calm, organised team around them from the first brush to the walk down the aisle.

Good to know: With Femme Bridal Crew's White-Glove Bridal Assistance, the team stays with the bride right up to the altar, looking after the gown and veil at outdoor venues.
