Just Said Yes November 2019

Makeup

Meghan, on October 1, 2019 at 8:47 PM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 4
Okay so my wedding is coming up in November.. I told all of my bridesmaid I want them to get their hair done by the hair dresser I hired. I also have someone coming to do my makeup and whoever else wants it done. I told them makeup was optional and they can do it themselves if they want. My MUA is charging $100 for makeup. I know some are not going to want to pay that. Which is fair I get it, especially when they are paying to get their hair done. One of my bridesmaids asked if they can come with their makeup done. I really want everyone there by 9am so we can all hang out get ready and enjoy the day together. I feel like if I say yes to one then the others are going to be annoyed since they are either doing their own or paying the $100. I’m guessing she is going to ulta and they usually don’t open unti 10ish. What should I tell her?! Help!!

    I don’t think you can really tell her no. If she’s only getting her hair done, she doesn’t need to be there watching everyone else have their makeup done. Arriving an hour or two late isn’t going to make a difference.

    It sounds like you are requiring they get their hair done, and if you are you really should pay for it. It's not really fair to force someone to spend that extra money. I have a bridesmaid that is having a stylist friend do her hair so she will be arriving an hour after everyone else. I dont have any problem with it. We will still get to hang beforehand and be together all day! Unfortunately I don't think you can tell her no like PP said.

    If you are not offering to pay for their hair and/or makeup, you should allow them to get it done wherever they want to. This may cause them to arrive after 9am, but as long as they are on time for photos and the the ceremony, I don’t see the issue.

    If you are requiring them to get their hair done then you should be paying for it. If it’s optional and they chose to have it done then fine, but you really can’t demand they be there any earlier than necessary. My daughter asked who wanted their hair and makeup done and gave them the prices if they desired it. They all decided to do both services. Each girl was scheduled for a specific time but told they could come early if they wanted to hang out. We had mimosas, coffee, and a breakfast buffet for them. They all came early and had a wonderful time. Sometimes it’s all in the delivery. If my daughter demanded they get their hair done and expected them all to be there for the whole time, some might have dug their heels in.
