So you’re engaged, now what?

You’ve said yes and now you can’t wait to start planning your dream day. Wedding planning in general can be pretty chaotic, theres so much to plan and choose and often hair and makeup can fall down the list of priorities. Brides to be often ask me, “how soon should I book?” and the answer is, you really want to do it as soon as you have a date, location and ceremony time decided. Even if a few things aren’t 100% decided on, you want to start thinking about what you might want for your hair and makeup early on.

Great skin care creates for a flawless canvas & a flawless canvas creates flawless bridal makeup!

Why? first lets think about your skin, your makeup will only look as good as your skin condition, there simply is no magic wand if you want a quick fix close to the wedding day. If you want your makeup to look absolutly flawless, your skin will need to do a lot of the prep work. Ideally you want to give yourself 6 month to a year to try any new skincare treatments and products. And if you’re happen to be happing a shotgun wedding or just completly forgot about your face, DO NOT try anything new less than 1 month from the wedding day. You don't want to be tempting fate and causing any unnecessary reactions.

Up or down? that the first step in deciding how you want your wedding hair!

What about hair?

If you’re not sure how you want your hair for your wedding day, again don’t go and make any huge changes just yet. Start by thinking about the following: Do you like to have your hair up or down? How long is your hair at the moment? What will the weather be like?

Finding a bridal hairstylist and makeup artist early on means they can help guide you in making these decisions based on your likes, dislikes and the actual qualities of your skin and hair.
