Roxy D'Souza is a makeup artist and hair stylist working across Bexleyheath, Bexley and Welling, in the DA5, DA6, DA7 and DA16 postcodes. She does hair as well as makeup herself, so a bridal party needs one supplier and one running order instead of two.
Bexley borough has only a handful of licensed ceremony venues, which means most weddings here are a register office ceremony followed by a reception somewhere else. That makes the morning timings tighter than they look. Roxy works backwards from the time you need to leave rather than forwards from when she arrives.
More than fifteen years in the chair and more than five hundred clients. Bexleyheath is about fifteen minutes from her home studio in Thamesmead, so early starts are straightforward.
Weddings at Danson House and around Bexleyheath
Danson House in Bexleyheath does double duty: it is the Bexley register office and a licensed wedding venue in its own right, a Georgian villa set in Danson Park. The Boathouse at Danson Park is licensed for ceremonies too, and the Delta Hotels by Marriott Bexleyheath on the Broadway is the main hotel option for a party staying over. Hall Place and its gardens sit a little further out in Bexley village.
Danson Park and Hall Place both mean a lot of outdoor photography, so the products used are chosen to hold up in wind and daylight rather than only in a mirror. Occasion makeup is just as common here: proms in the summer, black-tie in the winter, and christenings through the year.
Trials run six to eight weeks before a wedding date. For everything else a few weeks' notice is usually enough.

Do you travel out to Bexleyheath and Welling?
Yes, regularly. It is about fifteen minutes from the studio in Thamesmead and there is no travel charge anywhere in London.
Can you get me ready before a Danson House ceremony?
Yes. Tell her the ceremony time and where you are starting from, and she will work the running order back from it. Most Bexley brides get ready at home rather than at the venue.
Do you do proms?
Yes. The grammar schools around Bexley and Sidcup make prom season busy here, and summer weekends go early.
Can I come to you instead?
Yes, there is a home studio in Thamesmead. See the Home Studio page.
