First off, congrats! You’ve officially checked one of the most important things off your wedding to-do list. Booking your bridal hair and makeup artist means you're one step closer to walking down the aisle looking and feeling like the absolute best version of yourself. But what happens next?
Here's what to expect after booking your bridal hair and makeup artist.
1. The Confirmation & Paperwork (Yes, But Make It Fun)
Once you’ve secured your date, your artist will likely send over a contract (if they haven’t already) along with any remaining payment details. Read it through, sign it, and pat yourself on the back—you’re adulting like a pro.
2. Scheduling Your Trial Run
Your bridal trial is where the magic really starts. This is your chance to test-drive your wedding day look, tweak anything that doesn’t feel perfect, and get a sneak peek of how gorgeous you’ll be. Ideally, schedule your trial at least 6-8 weeks before your wedding—but if you’re a planner, even earlier is great! Bonus tip: Book your dress fitting for the same day so you can see the whole look together.
3. Prepping for Your Trial
To get the most out of your bridal trial:✅ Bring inspo photos (but be realistic—your hair and skin type matter).✅ Wear a top in a similar color to your dress to see how makeup tones will look.✅ Arrive with clean, moisturized skin and dry hair unless your artist tells you otherwise.✅ Be honest with your feedback! If you love something, great! If something feels “off,” let them know—it’s your day, and we want you to be obsessed with your look.
4. Creating Your Wedding Day Beauty Schedule
Your artist will help you plan out the timeline for the big day, factoring in things like:🕘 How long each service takes (typically 30-40 minutes per person).👰 Who’s getting services done—bridesmaids, moms, flower girls?⏳ When to start so that you’re picture-perfect right on time.
Trust your artist on timing—they’ve done this a million times and know exactly how to keep things stress-free.
5. Beauty Prep Leading Up to the Wedding
In the weeks before your wedding, you’ll want to:💦 Hydrate like your life depends on it (your skin will thank you).💆♀️ Stick to your regular skincare routine—no last-minute experiments!✂️ Get your final hair color touch-ups at least two weeks before the wedding.🚫 Avoid spray tans right before—book them 2-3 days ahead to let the color settle.
6. The Wedding Day Glam Experience
On the big day, your artist will arrive at the agreed time, set up their magic station, and get to work making you and your bridal squad look amazing. There will be laughter, maybe a few happy tears, and definitely a lot of selfies. Your artist will finish you off with touch-ups and any last-minute adjustments before sending you off to say, “I do.”
7. Final Touch-Ups & Emergency Kit Must-Haves
Even the best makeup needs a little love throughout the day. Make sure you have a small touch-up kit with:💄 Your lipstick or gloss🧻 Oil blotting sheets or powder 💁♀️ Bobby pins. You don't have to worry because I always provide a touch up kit for the bride!
8. Happily Ever After (with Amazing Photos)
And just like that, you’re married! Your hair and makeup lasted all day, you felt stunning, and your photos are proof of the absolute masterpiece that was your bridal look. Mission accomplished.
