Here Comes the Bride! Tips for Styling the Wedding Party

May 09, 2017

As a bride-to-be, there is so much to think about when planning your wedding! Since your day will be forever captured in photos, making sure that thebridal partylooks its best is one of the most important details. Planning ahead can help! Here are some tips:

Have a consultation with your stylist and makeup artist early. You will want time to work out the details in advance, such as the location for your bridal party services. Make sure that your entire bridal party meets your stylist and makeup artist so that they understand their skin tones, hair type/colors, and styles that work for them.

Include styling and makeup in your wedding budget. This means determining in advance who will pay for the services and how much they will be. In most cases, the bride pays for wedding-day hairstyling and makeup for the bridal party.

Try out new looks in advance, for both hair and makeup, to determine what works for you. Both hairstyles and makeup suitable for weddings are different than what you would wear every day, so it may take some sampling to find your ideal look.

When choosing your look, use magazines and internet photos as inspiration, but be realistic. Often these photos are retouched, so what looks great on a model may not look the same on you.

When doing a trial run of makeup and hair, pay attention to timing. At what point does the hairstyle start to droop when you go about your day? If you have oily skin, does your makeup start to smear quickly? Use these clues to determine the timing of your styling and makeup so that you look your best for photos and for the ceremony.

Finally, relax and don’t panic! Professionals will help you along the way. Stress can cause breakouts that add to your worries, so pace yourself and let the professionals help you.
