Hair and Makeup for Bridal Party

Alycia, on October 11, 2019 at 10:59 AM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 15
My wedding is in less than 198 days 😂. I'm thinking of booking a hair and makeup artist for myself and letting my bridesmaids and mom the option of paying for theirs or doing their own. What are you doing?

    I'm doing my own makeup and hiring someone to do my hair. We're a simple bunch, so the bridal party and moms will do their own hair and makeup.

    We paid for everyone's hair and gave them the option of having their makeup done at their own expense.

    I am paying for everyone's hair. We are not having a makeup artist, we are just doing our own.

    I gave everyone the option for hair and makeup and they selected and paid for what they wanted.

    We covered this cost for bridesmaids & moms, if they wanted it done. My husband's mother wanted to do her own hair, and two bridesmaids wanted to do their own makeup (totally fine with me). All girls still picked their own styles though, so they all looked unique & stunning!

    Doing what you're doing! Will have a hair & makeup person on site for me and have given my girls and moms the option to also get theirs done professionally or do it themselves.

    So far I have one bridesmaid doing the services, one doing it herself, and one up on the air.

    I'm doing what you're doing! I can't afford to pay for my 4 bridesmaid's hair and makeup, so I'm paying for an airbnb for us to stay at and hired an on location hair and makeup artist who will come to the airbnb. That way we can all have a good time getting ready together, and everyone can just decide if they want to pay for hair and makeup or do it on their own!

    I paid for both for everyone because I didn't want anyone to feel left out if they couldn't afford it.

    I did the same. I booked pro hair and make up for myself and gave my girls the option to do their own or book with the artist who will be doing mine. I had one bridesmaid opt out completely and one will just be getting her make up done and she will do her own hair.

    I booked a makeup artist and a separate hair stylist and made hair & makeup optional for my bridesmaids and mom. Pretty much everyone has opted in to at least one service so far, which is good since my MUA had a minimum $ amount to be booked.

    I'll be paying for my sister and my mom to get their makeup and/or hair done because they're not in a position to take care of it themselves. For everyone else, since it's optional, they'll be paying for it if they opt-in.

    I told all my bridesmaids, my mom, and future mother in law the prices for hair and makeup and asked them which services they wanted, if any.

    Most are choosing to have both their hair and makeup done. A couple are only having their makeup done and not their hair. One of my bridesmaids is doing her own makeup & hair.

    See I like that idea, one of my bridesmaids doesn't like people touching her, so I know she'll want to do it herself.

    I have a close friend who's going to help with hair and make-up. But honestly, at least half of my bridesmaid will probably do their own. We kinda all did highschool plays together so most of them are used to doing their own/each others make-up and hair.

    I work for a beauty team that consists of hair and makeup artists. So I am getting a discount for my wedding day and I let my bridal party have the option of getting their hair done through the team.
