Let’s face it, weddings can get really stressful & expensive! When you plan a wedding there’s a million things to consider when budgeting. A lot of brides do not consider one of the most important things on their wedding day- and that is your bridal look! Second to choosing your photographer, choosing your hair and makeup artist is one of the most important decisions you can make. It can make or break the quality of your photos in the end, and the pictures will be around forever! You as the bride shouldn’t need to feel stressed or overwhelmed with your hair and makeup. You need to just sit back, relax and ENJOY every second of your special day and let us take care of the details. So if you needed any more convincing to hire a professional to take care of your hair and makeup on your wedding, here’s 5 reasons that it is the best decision that you will make!
1. a professional can help you to curate the perfect look
As a professional hair & makeup artist, we are trained to know which colours and styles will suit you best. Together with your personal preferences, we can advise and give our honest opinions on options like what the best eyeshadow and lipstick colour will be for your skin tone. We can also advise on which hairstyle will compliment your bridal gown style and face shape. We will help you to curate the perfect look so you will feel confident and beautiful as you walk down the aisle.
2. the hair & makeup trial
Doing a hair and makeup trial with your chosen artist is usually compulsory for a good reason. This is where you can get to know your artist a bit better so she is a familiar face on the day. The trial is also very important because here we can take time to figure out exactly what you want to do with your hair and makeup. You DO NOT want to scramble around and stress about a look not coming together on the wedding day. The trial takes all of that stress away and you as a bride will feel calm and assured about exactly how your hair and makeup is going to look on the day.
3. we take the stress out of the day
I got married recently and trust me when I say that you can easily get overwhelmed with many emotions on the day. And that is so normal! I decided to do my own makeup on my wedding day and even though I have years of experience with makeup and know what works best with my face features- the experience was quite stressful for me and I didn’t expect it at all! I got very overwhelmed and it took longer than usual to do it myself because of the extra wedding day nerves. It just showed me once again how important it is to have someone to take the pressure off and focus on all the little details so that I as a bride don’t have to.
4. wedding morning timimg and scheduling
The morning of your wedding goes by in a FLASH! Even quicker than you would expect! Therefore it is important to have a perfectly planned schedule that will help things run smoothly. As professionals in the industry we have done schedules for hundreds of weddings and we know exactly how long it will take to complete hair and makeup for the whole bridal party. We are trained to work quick and efficient. We also plan it according to your photography schedule and we make sure that you are right on time for walking down the aisle. We handle the timing so that you don’t even have to think about it.
