Your wedding day is one of the most special days of your life and how your morning unfolds can set the tone for the rest of the day. From bridal hair and makeup to dress care, bouquet prep, and emergency essentials, this guide will help you feel calm, confident, and photo ready from the very first moment.
Bridal Hair & Makeup Prep Tips
Getting your hair and makeup done should be relaxing and enjoyable. Here’s how to prepare for flawless results:
Clean, Dry Hair: Wash your hair the evening before your wedding. If you normally wash daily or expect it to get greasy overnight, morning washes are okay, just make sure it’s about 90% dry when you sit for your hair appointment.
Makeup Free Face: Arrive without makeup so your stylist can create a perfect, long lasting bridal look.
Skincare: Apply any products you love in the morning if you’re particular about your routine, otherwise, your stylist will be more than happy to take care of it.
Allergies: Notify your stylist in advance of any allergies to food, hair, makeup, or skincare products.
Pro Tip: A comfy chair near a window with natural light makes a huge difference for both hair and makeup precision.
Lashes & Touch-Ups for Brides and Bridesmaids
Individual or Strip Lashes: We provide individual lashes as they are easy to wear and allows us to customise your look. If you prefer a specific style or strip lashes, bring them along. Some natural strip lashes are usually available too.
Touch Up Essentials: We provide a bridal mini touch up kit that usually includes ( blotting paper, a sample of your lipstick, a sample of concealer, mascara wand, mini makeup sponge, hair grips etc). Keep this handy to ensure you are photo ready at any given time.
Dress & Florals
Small details can prevent last minute stress and ensure everything looks perfect:
Steaming Dresses: Steam your dress the night before, if possible. If steaming is done on the wedding day, only someone who hasn’t had hair or makeup done should handle it, to avoid frizz or flattened hairstyles.
Bouquet Prep: Make sure the bottoms of flower bouquets are dried with a soft towel at least 15–20 minutes before leaving or getting dressed. This prevents water marks or mishaps on your dress.
Wedding Emergency Kit Essentials
Even with careful planning, small emergencies happen. A bridal emergency kit is a lifesaver and should include:
Needle and thread (matching your dress)
Allergy medication and painkillers
Compeed, band-aids, and safety pins
Zit stickers and tissues
Nail clippers, file, and polish
Eye drops, safety scissors, body tape, and mints
Assign this kit to your maid of honour, wedding planner (they often have one ready too), or mum, and keep it somewhere easily accessible.
Final Tips for a Stress-Free Wedding Morning
Make sure your bridal prep area has access to a power socket, a table, and a comfortable chair near a window for natural light.
Encourage your bridal party to bring their favorite lipstick and small essentials for touch ups.
Most importantly, enjoy your day. Take a breath, soak it all in, and focus on the love and excitement around you. Positive thoughts and good vibes only, they truly make your wedding morning unforgettable
