You want your wedding to be a day to remember- and preparing for your wedding should be just as memorable as the big day. Taking your bridal party to get their hair, nails, and makeup done should be an experience free of stress or drama. After all, you do not want to remember it all as a hassle. Everyone should be having as much fun as possible with this experience! So making sure to have an organized plan and professional setup will be an important consideration to keep you relaxed! This will help to ensure you do have a good time with your wedding party.
At Cameo Salon and Spa, we have bridal packages that can help with making sure that everything goes according to plan. This includes a variety of things. We offer a bridal makeup service, bridal party hair and makeup, and bridal manicures. This also includes on-site hair and makeup for weddings. We want to help you be as prepared as possible for the entire experience, so these are a few steps we recommend taking to make sure that things run smoothly.
Taking A Test Run
With bridal hair styling​ and makeup, you want to preplan. Having an idea of your wedding makeup looks and the style you want your party to have before the preparations begin is essential to keep things easy and efficient. You also want to know how everything will look together. Sometimes a look will be better in your head than when they are executed, so you want to come in at least 6 weeks prior to test everything. See how it looks on you, see if it feels right once you see it, and give yourself time to choose a new look without cause for panic. This is why it is important to come in early. You will have a comfortable length of time in between to test a new look and make sure that you can have the stunning photos you want. Hairstyles for weddings are often complex as well, so you want to know how much time they will take to style so you can plan to have enough time for styling when the day of your wedding is finally here.
Getting Your Nails Done
Nails are a little different from hair and makeup. Yes, it can take some time to paint them, get the style you want, and wait for them to dry. Wedding nail designs can be more detailed. But still, they take significantly less time to do than styling hair and applying your makeup. This is why you can feel safe getting all your nails done a day or two before the big day. You should still have a good idea of what you want though. Will they be long or short? Stiletto or coffin-shaped? What colors and trends are you looking to include? Do you want any glitter or patterns? With all these decisions to make, having everything thought out beforehand will make things easy. And if you have a backup style in case you change your mind, then the process will be that much easier. By coming in a couple of days early, you still have a cushion of time so you can get the nails you want. You also do not have to worry about your nails chipping or growing out before they are able to be truly shown off when you and your bridesmaids walk the aisle.
Timing Everything Efficiently
When it is finally time for everyone to band together and prepare for your wedding, you want to make sure you have enough time to get everything done without being late- especially if you are having hair and makeup done for your attendants. If you do decide to have your attendants’ hair and makeup done, you want to know how coordinated everyone should be. Do they all share the same hairstyle? Is there a selection of hairstyles you would like them to choose? Can they choose their own styles? Do you prefer them all to have an updo? Make sure everyone is on the same page and that the stylists you have are aware of your plans.
Preparing For the Salon
Make sure everyone attending the salon with you knows how to prepare for a visit. Shampooing your hair and drying it the day before will put it in the prime position for styling when you arrive at the salon the next day. Freshly shampooed hair has less of a hold on styling than hair that was prepped the day before.
Wedding Day Jitters
We understand how stressful planning a whole wedding can be. This is especially so if you are planning a destination wedding. Brides deserve to be able to approach their special day without having to stress about how well everything will go. If you would like, coming in a week before the wedding for a massage can help you loosen up and relax from all the aspects of wedding planning that might have you worried. Once you’re done with your massage, you can tackle these parts of wedding planning with fresh eyes!
