Bridesmaid Beauty

By Lisa Beth Miller

Since your wedding day is an event that will be photographed, it is important that you and your bridesmaids feel beautiful and confident throughout the day. Once the dresses have been selected and altered to fit, hair and makeup become the next focus!

Scheduling professional hair and makeup appointments for the wedding party is a practical way to ensure that everyone looks her absolute best. Salons with experience in beautifying wedding parties on site specialize in creating looks that will bring out the best in your bridesmaids.

Another reason to allow professionals to handle your beauty needs is that professional stylists will have an overall vision for your wedding party’s look. For example, if the bride wishes to wear her hair long and loose, a decision may be made to give the bridesmaids updos to create a contrast.

If wedding party members are left to create their own looks, the overall effect may not be cohesive.

Makeup looks can be created to flatter each bridesmaid and work with the selected dress hue. This is best left to professionals with an eye for colors and trends.
