The wedding dress may be the star of the event, but hair & make-up play an integral part in making “the dress” the showstopper it was meant to be. (Not to mention the confidence of the bride wearing the dress)
Determining what to do about your hair & make-up on your wedding day is often one of the last steps in the planning process. At this point most of your entire wedding budget has been spent and you are looking to save money wherever you can. I am here to advise you that you should not skimp when it comes to having your hair and make-up professionally done. These are the details that pull the entire look and feel together.
Most of us who work in the bridal industry also freelance in the editorial world. We spend a lot of time working on photo shoots. We have seen first hand how hair and make-up can hold up under all types of weather conditions and lighting environments. As make-up artists and hairstylists we understand the difference between what you see with your eyes versus what the camera captures. For example, you may cringe at the thought of having your hair teased, but without the added height your hair will appear flat and lifeless on camera.
In addition to our roles as artists, we are usually the ones keeping everything on time and everyone focused on what they should be doing. When you sit in our chair, we give you a safe place away from all the craziness that is going on around you. We are your therapists when you need to vent and we protect you from family members and bridesmaids when they become too pushy. Hey – we've got your back!!!
Your wedding day is one of the happiest days of your life, but it is also one of the most expensive. You worked hard to buy the dream dress and pay for the pricey photographer to photograph it. Investing in professional hair and make-up on your wedding day will ensure that you will look as great as you feel. The wedding may last one day but those pictures will last a lifetime!
