Your wedding day is almost here and you can’t be more giddy and excited! Your dream wedding which took months to plan is coming to life and your happiness and excitement are through the roof!

Have you decided on your bridal hair and make-up look yet? You deserve to look and feel your most beautiful during your wedding and I can help you achieve that, and more! I believe that every bride is beautiful, and it takes a certain amount of expertise to bring out and highlight that beauty to make it more extraordinary. I consider being a part of your wedding an absolute privilege, and it will be my great joy to make you shine your brightest on your big day.
Need some help in getting your wedding hair and makeup ready for the big day? We’ve come up with the Ultimate Guide to help you list down all the important things to consider:
Research
Research is always your best friend. If you have extensively used Pinterest boards for some inspiration on how your reception venue will look like, why not take advantage of it even more by researching hair and make-up pegs that will suit your face shape and your preference? Ask friends or family members who have gotten married before you on what they did and didn’t consider when they’re planning for their bridal look. What looks worked and didn’t work for them? Why? What are the challenges they encountered when planning for their bridal look? These best practices can help you learn which better path to take in planning your own bridal look.
Research doesn’t stop at pinning pegs for the actual bridal look though; you have to remember that your wedding hair and make-up service provider is also responsible for making you look beautiful on your special day, so an extensive amount of research on that is needed as well! Look through reviews on the internet and social media so you can get a feel of how it is to work with them. This will help you gauge if they are the right service provider for you. Ask your friends and colleagues to recommendations.
I take pride in listening to my clients, whether small or big bridal parties, from the beginning until the very end of the process. I make sure to note all requirements and preferences and deliver the kind of service that always makes my clients happy and satisfied.

Consider the season and weather
The season and weather are very important considerations for your bridal hair and make-up. Is it going to be hot? If so, are you going to have a prolonged sun exposure? If not, are you going to be in an airconditioned area for the most part of the ceremony and reception? You want to come up with bridal hair and makeup and that is suitable for these conditions, otherwise, you might end up having makeup that’s either running or won’t last until the end of the program.
Consider the wedding details - wedding dress, venue, theme & timeline
The wedding details are important considerations that will help you finalize your overlook. Do your chosen look and wedding dress complement each other? You don’t want either one outdoing the other, you want both that’s perfectly seamless and complements the other perfectly.
Is your wedding venue outdoor or indoor? Will your hair need to withstand a substantial amount of wind at any part of the program? If so, a “messy braid” may look messier than intended so might want to steer clear of that.
What time is your wedding? If it’s too early, will you have enough time to prepare for the elaborate makeup and hairstyle that you prefer? If you have a large wedding party, is your hair and makeup provider trained to handle such requirements?
For large weddings, I work with another experienced artist so a big bridal party or an early ceremony are no problem at all.
Preparation is key
A good preparation always sets you up for success. Make sure to include all necessary preparations that are needed for your big day. Have everything you need ready and laid out. Is everyone aware of their roles? Does everyone know where they need to be and what time they need to show up? Do they know to turn up with clean hair and clean moisturised skin?
I send my brides a ‘wedding day getting ready guide’ with all the things they need to remember for a great relaxing morning of pampering.
A stress-free face is always the best canvas for the perfect makeup, and no matter how elaborate and beautiful your chosen look is, you won’t achieve it if you spend your time being stressed out. Make sure to hydrate, sleep well and get all your pampering affairs in order, you’re about to look your most beautiful!
