wedding needs in our own area from Port Douglas, Daintree Cairns &
Palm Cove Australia.
Knowing how important your wedding day is we will go out of our way to make sure you are beautiful, relaxed, on time (or just a little late as a bride should be!) and enjoy this most important day.
“The hair and make up was amazing! We all had a wonderful day and you made the start of it relaxing and un-stressful with your great sense of humour and professionalism keeping us all calm. Your little extras were astounding - drinking straws so as not to ruin our lipstick, safety pins for wardrobe malfunctions, hair gems and flowers, information on local services in Port Douglas. You girls really know your industry ”
Wedding testimonial
from Catherine and Jeremy White – London,U.K.

wedding day requirements may be – whether it be a wedding on the beach , at the reef, in the rainforest, at the church , at your resort or at your chosen location.
Imagine being married at The Great Barrier Reef or in the rainforest with birds chirping by a gently flowing stream. If you are staying at a beach house and getting married on the beach we can do your wedding hair and make up in the comfort of your accommodation surrounded by loved ones. We can look after just the bride to a whole bridal party and guests.
Introducing the proprietor and hairdresser of The Mermaids Wave
Melissa
During her training at Clip Joint Adelaide Melissa gained extensive experience in the areas of television and cat walk. Melissa took head on the challenge of such high profile and pressured situations and she applies these skills to the most important day of a bride’s life.
Melissa is committed to the business of weddings and established The Mermaids Wave in 1995.
Melissa can even offer her own experiences and advice, having been married herself on a beach just outside Port Douglas.
In addition to weddings both Melissa, our hairdresser, and Vicki, our senior make up artist, have been involved with film making and lecturing at resort staff seminars on presentation and grooming.
We can recommend other wedding services you may need such as photographers, florists, accommodation, wedding vehicle hire, marriage celebrants, restaurants, caterers and options for the reception.
The Mermaids Wave appreciates that this is the most important day of your life and enjoys the challenges that may arise in achieving this.
Advice on getting married in
Tropical North Queensland
~ Take the weather at the time of the year into consideration.
If it is humid and you have long hair perhaps wear it up as a long hair style may flop. Our hairdresser through her experience here has perfected techniques to make your style last all day and long into the night.
Our make up artists use products that are proven to last in the tropics.
~ Think ahead about the hair style you like.
As you are not getting married at home, consult with your regular hairdresser to prepare for the wedding and bring some photos. . Another option is to bring photos of a style you have found in a magazine and meet with Melissa before the wedding or have a wedding trial with us.
Before you arrive ensure your hair is trimmed and your colour is fresh, although these are services we offer if you so wish. When choosing your style you may want to have flowers, a tiara, a veil or hair gems.
~ Use make up products that are proven to last.
Our award winning make up artists, because of their vast experience in Port Douglas and surrounding areas, have the expertise and range of products required to achieve any look from casual beach to formal church glamour.
We will listen to what you want and make the best of your features.
~ If you are getting married on the beach you will probably have to take your shoes off, so look at having a pedicure.
~ Everyone will be looking at your wedding ring.
Our nail technician can cater to all your needs – manicure, acrylic nails and nail art.
