Why is it important to have hair and makeup done for your wedding?
It's so important to have your hair and makeup on point for your BIG day as you will have the pictures around forever, a constant reminder of the amazing day it was! You want to make sure it’s the best version of you!
How far in advance should you book hair and makeup?
Bridal hair and makeup should be booked at least 6 months in advance to ensure complete availability for that specific day for the bride and her wedding party. If travel arrangements also need to be made, booking far enough in advance ensures you'll be able to hire the hair stylist and makeup artist you want!
Why is it important to book a hair and makeup trial?
A preview appointment is crucial as you want to be comfortable and achieve your ideal look. This appointment allows the stylist the opportunity to communicate directly with you, to play and get creative! Your wedding day hair and makeup is a collaborative effort between bride and artist to ultimately create that “perfect” look.
How much time should a bride plan for hair and makeup?
Always allow at least one hour for makeup application and one hour for hair styling. Timing will inevitably vary based on factors including, but not limited to, desired style (whether simple curls or a more formal style), artist, day-of timeline, etc.
What is the difference between air brush and regular makeup?
The difference between airbrush makeup and regular makeup depends on what you’re looking for! Airbrush is a light-weight makeup applied through an air gun machine that produces a thin, soft even layer of makeup. Airbrush makeup is non-transferable, meaning that slight rubbing or brushing against something or someone will not cause the makeup to come off of the face. This also is a desirable feature especially when you have a special event and don't want to worry about your makeup wearing off. Traditional makeup comes in the widest variety of any other makeup, with every shade available. It’s also the most versatile of all the makeup; it can be as basic as a sheer tint of coverage, or combined with other properties to create a makeup that targets specific problems. Ultimately, your personal preferences will be the biggest factor in choosing what you wear on your wedding day.
Any other tips for brides to ensure their bridal beauty is absolute perfection?
- We always ask that hair be “yesterday “ hair, meaning not washing it the day of as it holds style better when it is not freshly clean.
- Come with a clean face for makeup application.
- Communication is key to your stylist when doing your hair and makeup.
- Pictures speak 1,000 words: bringing pictures of hair and makeup styles that inspire your desired wedding day look is a great way to show the stylist what you’re looking to achieve.
- Go for it! Wearing a little bit more makeup than usual bodes really well for stunning photos. Even though it may feel a little uncomfortable initially, your photos will be flawless!
- Timeless and classic is always a safe bet! Your wedding day is not typically the best occasion to try something trendy or new.
When everything is said and done after your trial, your stylist has finished your hair and makeup, has gone over the details of your wedding and you have spoken up about any concerns you may have, you should now have a sense of calm, confident relief and excitement about your wedding day hair and makeup. If you don’t, do something! I don’t think that brides realize how important their bridal beauty vendor is....it's not JUST about hair and makeup! Your stylist is typically the first vendor you see and the one you spend the most time with before you walk down the aisle!
