Tips for Booking Hair and Makeup

Working for an onsite hair and makeup service business, we run into many things that you, as a bride, aren’t aware of when booking your wedding day services that could greatly help you as you plan! So, we thought it might be quite useful to talk about 5 tips regarding this part of wedding planning.

1.    Wedding planning is stressful as we know it! So, it will benefit you greatly to be organized and on top of things, so that as the big day approaches, everything runs smoothly. In this regard, booking hair and makeup services at least 6 months out will be ideal. Essentially, this gives enough time for your wedding party needs to be fully covered. The more time the hair and makeup team have, the better they can accommodate you. 

2.    When scheduling a trial run for hair and makeup, it’s best to plan for 3-6 weeks before the wedding date. If you schedule too early, you might find something different and decide you would like a different look – which results in scheduling another trial run, and more cost to the you. 3-6 weeks is the perfect time frame for you to be completely sure that the looks you chose are the ones you feel most beautiful with!

3.    Researching pictures and bringing them to trial runs are an excellent way to clearly communicate your vision for your wedding day.  At unBridaled Beauty, we actually require you to print out pictures of hair and makeup that you like. Doing so, helps the artist see a clearer vision of what you desire, so you are more than pleased with the results. There are tons of styles – we get all types of different hair and makeup photos!

4.    Keeping the Bridal Coordinator of the company you have booked with informed and up to date on the progress of your wedding services and what you will need, avoids additional stress and worry. By keeping in contact with the beauty team, there will be ample time for rearrangements if need be and you won’t need to worry knowing that you’ll be ready to roll on your big day!

5.    If you have a large wedding party, it is normal to have an early start time to the hair and makeup process. Any hair and makeup team you work with should have your best interests as their first priority and at unBridaled Beauty, we will make sure that there is plenty of time for everyone to be picture perfect!

Great beauty product!

Hey there bloggers!

 

I have another great recommendation for you! I, as well as my roommates, have started using an awesome new product – The Simply Body Soap Net. Personally, this comes in extremely handy and I’m sure you all will agree. Alright, so we all know that your bar of soap in the shower becomes slippery and fragile after many uses right? Inevitable! On another downside, the softness of a typical bar of soap does nothing to exfoliate the skin so all of the dirt and grime from the day washes away. In comes Soap Net! This tiny mesh net with adjustable wristband holds an entire bar of soap. The mesh helps create a more voluminous lather, while also exfoliating the skin. The wristband, with a variety of colored beads, keeps those slippery suckers from sliding right out of your hands. After using, it’s easily hung up (this is especially helpful when my bar becomes small and brittle) The Simply Body Soap Net is a wonderful product – not only beneficial to the skin, but it extends the life of your soap. My roommates agree that it makes a world of difference.

Introducing the newest member of the unBridaled Beauty team!

Hello everyone!

    My name is Shelby Hopkins and I am the newest member of the unBridaled Beauty team! I am extremely honored to be working with the wonderful Marcella and her exceptional team of artists. I am so excited to get settled in and make sure each of our blushing brides has a flawless wedding experience!

    Currently, I am a student at the University of Central Florida and studying Event Management with a double major in Hospitality Management. I am fascinated with the world of Hospitality and all of its avenues, from handing out lollipops at Disney World, to fluffing a brides train as she walks down the aisle. Living in Orlando, I have been immersed in the best of the best that this industry has to offer, learning and growing every step of the way.

    On the unprofessional side of things, I am a country girl at heart! Despite having grown up on the beach in Fort Lauderdale, the woods and mountains are where I feel most at home. (I swear I must’ve been born there!) I enjoy being outdoors, and gearing up for activities with friends and family. Besides, it’s okay to be a tough girl once in a while, as long as you clean up nicely, right? I was raised with southern values and cherish the support my family has always surrounded me with.

Well, that’s enough about me! Again, I am so excited to be a part of the unBridaled Beauty team and look forward to speaking with all of you!

Thank you!

Are You A Bride Who Wants More Dramatic Eyes?

My unBridaled Beauty team and I love to customize every bride's look for her wedding day. It's what makes it fun and exciting for us as artists. Brittany really wanted to make her eyes stand out and had selected a look that complimented her bronzed skin, using deeper browns, golds and lining her eyes with black to make her brown eyes pop. 

As a general rule, I do recommend brides play up the eyes. Don't worry if you cry- with primer, water/sweat-resistant airbrush makeup and waterproof mascara, we've got you covered!
