Your Wedding Day- Essential tips and timelines
A Blissful Wedding Morning: Essential Tips and Timelines for Picture-Perfect Hair
Your wedding day is an extraordinary occasion filled with joy, love, and excitement. As a bride, you deserve to feel and look your best from morning till night. One of the key elements to achieving your dream bridal look is having flawless hair that complements your overall style. In this blog post, I will walk you through essential things to remember on your wedding morning and the night before, as well as provide a helpful timeline for hair prep and styling for you and your bridal party.
Night Before the Wedding: Preparing your hair for the big day starts the night before. Here are a few essential things to remember:
Wash and Blowdry: Wash your hair the night before the wedding and gently towel-dry it. Avoid using heavy conditioners that may weigh down your hair on the wedding day. Instead, opt for cleansing shampoos to remove any build up on the hair and lightweight conditioners. Use flexible hold mousse or Pli by L’oreal on the hair before smoothing out with a round brush and hairdryer.
Get Some Rest: It's essential to have a good night's sleep before your wedding day. Allow yourself to relax, unwind, and recharge for the exciting day ahead.
Morning of the Wedding: On the morning of your wedding, it's time to get ready for your bridal hair transformation. Here's a suggested timeline to help you stay organized:
Bridal party of 4, Ceremony Time 1pm
7.50 AM - Start of Bridal Preparations:
Create a comfortable and relaxed environment in your chosen prep location for hair and makeup.
Ensure that the hairstylist and makeup artist have enough space, power points and a bright room to work in.
8:00 AM - Bridesmaid 1:
Dedicate approximately 45 minutes to hairstyling for each bridesmaid.
Discuss their desired hairstyles in advance to save time and ensure everyone is happy with their look. Have screenshots saved in a folder on their phone to avoid searching for them on the morning.
8.45 AM - Bridesmaid 2:
Continue with the second bridesmaid's hair styling, following the same approximate timeline.
9:30AM - Bride's Hair:
Allow 1.5 to 2 hours for the bride's hair, as it requires extra attention and detail.
By prioritizing the bride's hair earlier in the schedule, she can relax and enjoy the rest of the preparations without feeling rushed.
11:15 AM - Bridesmaid 3:
Style the third bridesmaid's hair, following the agreed-upon hairstyle.
12:00 PM
Allow some extra time for any last-minute adjustments, touch-ups, and final hairstyling details.
Once the hair and makeup are complete, set aside an hour for everyone to get dressed and enjoy some pre-ceremony bubbles!
Important Tips:
Keep the Day Flowing: While it's important to have a timeline, remember not to be too rigid with it. Allow for some flexibility and go with the flow of the day. This will help reduce stress and create a relaxed atmosphere.
Communication is Key: Discuss the desired hairstyles with each member of the bridal party in advance. This will help the hairstylist plan accordingly and ensure everyone is satisfied with their look.
Trust the Professionals: Your hairstylist and makeup artist are experts in their field. Trust their skills and allow them to work their magic. Relax and enjoy the pampering experience they provide.
Your wedding morning should be a time of excitement, laughter, and anticipation. By following these essential tips and timelines, you can ensure that your hair is picture-perfect on your special day. Remember to take care of your hair the night before, trust your hairstylist, and let the day unfold naturally. Embrace the joyous moments and create memories that will last a lifetime. Congratulations and enjoy your beautiful wedding day!
