Bridal Beauty Checklist
When it comes to planning out your big day, you’ve got A LOT on your plate! We’re here to help by providing the perfect Bridal Beauty Checklist! When it comes to prepping for the big day, there are no rules! You can do as little or as much as you’d like. Regardless of the what you decide, we’ve provided the timeline for each step along the way!
9-12 Months Before
Start your wedding Day Pinterest board! Although you don’t have to have your look figured out just yet, its fun to start the process! Gather as much inspo as possible so that your artist can help you narrow down your perfect look!
Set a beauty budget!
Research hair and makeup artists. Its important to look at different artist’s portfolios and read their reviews while searching for your wedding day artist(s). More than likely, this person/team will be the first vendor to show up on your wedding day, so it’s important that you choose someone who’s professional, timely and confident in their craft.
6-8 Months Before
Book your beauty vendor! Most teams have limited availability throughout the year, so get your beauty vendor booked ASAP!
Consult with a skin expert to establish a good skincare regimen leading up to your wedding day. Flawless makeup applications begin with good skin! Pamper yourself with monthly facials and a consistent at home skincare routine. You won’t regret it!
3 Months Before
Start testing out different self-tanners and spray tans, if you're planning to rock a faux glow as you walk down the aisle!
Start an at home teeth whitening routine.
Order hair extensions/hair accessories (if applicable). If you plan on using hair extensions and/or hair accessories on your wedding day, its a good idea to bring them to your trail run to make sure its exactly what you want.
Schedule your hair and makeup trials.
1-2 Month Before
Get your beauty timeline prepared with the help of your planner and beauty stylist.
Drink LOTS of water. Hydrate hydrate hydrate! It’s countdown time, and there is nothing that will give you the perfect glow more than hydrated skin.
Start regularly applying self tanner to build a good base color.
Hair and make trial time! It’s time to see your look come to life!
2 Weeks Before
Schedule your mani-pedis, final facials, waxing and spa treatments.
Bridal party beauty inspo! Your bridal party should prepare their inspo photos before they sit in the artists chair. This saves lots of time! If you plan on having your bridal party wear the same look, let your beauty vendor know ahead of time to make things easier.
Last color and cut! Get those final partial highlights and face framing pieces! During your trial run, ask your beauty vendor for recommendations on how you can achieve your dream wedding hair look.
The Week Before
Bye bye unwanted hair! Now is the time to get your waxed, threaded and say goodbye to any unwanted hair. Give your skin time to heal before the big day, in the event of skin irritations.
Glowing skin! Its time for the final facial to achieve maximum glow potential! Now is NOT the time for blackhead removals…don’t do it.
2-3 Days Before
Wash your hair one final time before wedding day! Chances are, your stylist will have a preference when it comes to clean or “dirty” hair. We recommend pampering yourself with a blowout 2 days before your wedding day to get rid of any frizz and tame those baby hairs.
Mani-Pedi time! Time to relax…you deserve it!
Get your final spray tan.
1 Day Before
Get a good nights sleep! Take a relaxing bubble bath, use your favorite body lotion, have some warm team and TRY your best to get a good nights sleep.
Wedding Day
GET MARRIED!
