frequently asked questions
-
When should I book my bridal makeup?
Bridal season is a very busy time of year from May-October and gets filled up fairly quickly. It is recommended to reach out at least 10 months in advance before the date is no longer available.
-
What happens after I book for wedding makeup?
Once you have filled out the necessary form, you will get a response within 48 hours, which will include a contract. Once the contract is signed and a $75 retainer fee is paid to secure your date, you can enjoy a stress-free process where you will stay updated and in the loop from the very beginning up to the wedding day.
-
Where are bridal trials located?
Bridal trials are such an important part of the process and is included with any bridal booking. The trial will take place at your home or a place that is convenient for you. Read more about the trial in the “services” section.
-
What should I do to prepare for my trial?
Having inspiration photos is always helpful, as well as photos of the dress if you have them. It is suggested that you wear a white or neutral top. Seating and lighting will be taken care of, so no need to worry about that.
-
What should I expect for the wedding day?
The day of the wedding, you will have a prep sheet sent to you, as well as a schedule to keep things on time and flowing seamlessly. More information will be discussed throughout the pre-wedding process.
-
How many people can I add on to a bridal package for makeup services?
The Classic Bridal Package includes the bride and three bridesmaids/guests. Any extra people will be added on as an additional fee.
-
How many people can get their makeup done?
As a solo makeup artist, I accept a limited number of services per wedding day to ensure each client receives the best experience. Larger bridal parties and condensed timelines may require an additional makeup artist. This artist may be of anyone of your choosing and recommendations can also be given.
-
How does the timeline work?
From start time to end time, I connect with any other artists and photographers to determine the appropriate amount of time needed to accommodate the whole bridal party comfortably. This includes each person’s allotted time plus a buffer of thirty minutes for touch-ups.
