​

 Skin Preparation

• Exfoliate gently the night before for smooth, glowing skin.

• Cleanse and moisturise in the morning.

• Skip the SPF if you’ve been advised to (it can sometimes affect photos).

• Arrive makeup-free so I can create the perfect base.

• If you wear contact lenses, please take them out before your makeup.

​

 Clothing & Environment

• Pop on a button-down or zip-up top so you don’t disturb your hair or makeup later.

• Try to keep some space tidy with a clear table for products and tools that your makeup artist and hairdresser can use. 

• Natural light works best for applying makeup, so a spot near a window is perfect.

• Steam your dresses and veil the night before—it always takes longer than you think.

• Remove any tags from dresses and stickers from the soles of shoes the night before, so everything is photo-ready.

• Break in your wedding shoes with a few 20–30 minute walks at home so you’re comfortable from the start.

​

Timing

• Print a simple morning schedule so everyone knows what’s happening when.

• Be ready in the chair at your time slot.

• Let your bridal party know the timings too so everything runs smoothly.

• Leave a little buffer for touch-ups before you get into your dress.

• If you’re giving emotional gifts, do it the night before or before makeup starts—it helps keep happy tears from affecting your look.

​

Bridal Party Tips

• Share this guide with bridesmaids, mums, and anyone else having hair or makeup.

• Everyone should arrive with clean, dry hair and makeup-free faces.

​

 Final Touches

• Have your veil, jewellery, and lipstick nearby for those last finishing touches.

• Place any sentimental jewellery, accessories, or heirlooms together so your photographer can capture them beautifully before you wear them.

• Stay hydrated, have some light snacks, and keep your phone close for quick check-ins (but avoid long calls during hair and makeup).
