Bridal Tips - Scheduling Hair and Makeup

I am asked many of the same questions by brides while they are planning their wedding. So I've decided to start a weekly bridal tip. Check back every week for a new tip or sign up for a subscription to be automatically emailed when the blog is updated.

Brides often ask me about pre-ceremony schedules. So this weeks tip has to do with scheduling your makeup and hair.

I've seen late hair and makeup postpone a wedding by 1.5 hours. Okay that is the extreme, but I believe you cant schedule your makeup and hair early enough. It always seems to take longer than you might think.

If you run late with hair and makeup not only can it delay your ceremony schedule, but it can cut into your pre-ceremony picture time. If this is the case you might end up with twice as many images to be taken after the ceremony. This can make for a rushed and stressful situation for you and me alike.

It is better to be ready early and have the time to take lots of pictures and just relax. Maybe even enjoy a glass of champagne with your girl friends.

Do yourself a favor! Add at least a half hour to your hair and makeup schedule so you can keep it low stress!
