Tips for selecting the right team of beauty professionals for your picture-perfect Wedding morning

by Michele Quinn and Brittany Naab of Blush Salon

You’ve probably heard from your mother or grandmother that on their wedding day they did their own hair and makeup. Well, that’s not the case anymore! Hiring a team of beauty professionals is high on a bride’s long list of priorities. After all, there are so many things to worry about, why worry about how you look? Leave that to the professionals! When choosing your bridal hair and makeup artist, it’s tempting to go straight to social media, but here are a few things to keep in mind.

Picture your perfect wedding morning. Do you envision yourself getting out of bed, having your bridesmaids arrive at the house, pouring a mimosa and relaxing in your pajamas while your on-site beauty team promptly arrives, sets up, and begins hair and makeup like a well-oiled machine? If so, then consider you first question.

Do they travel on site?

This has become wildly more popular over the last 5 years. Just hanging with your girls while you get beautified, sounds wonderful!

Who do you want to work with?

When hiring a hair and make-up artist for your wedding day you want to be sure to know you’re hiring a team of professionals. Ask around, get referrals from friends and coworkers, check out their social media pages. Is this something they are doing every weekend, or is this a side hobby for them?

What products do they use?

Professional products are a must. This is your wedding day, and this look needs to last you all day! Be aware of the products that are being used. Cheap hairspray isn’t going to cut it! When it comes to makeup, if you have sensitive or oily skin, let the makeup artist know.

It’s all about YOU!

Keep in mind that these professionals are here to help you look your best, and make your day run as smoothly as possible. Be vocal about what you like and don’t like, and enjoy the day. You only get one of them!
