To my surprise, the moment people know I do makeup for brides, the #1 question I get asked about weddings is…
“Do you get “BRIDEZILLAS”?
The short answer is no.
But let me tell you why, because I literally have THE BEST brides!
Talent and artistry is of course, important. However, I believe it all goes into connection, communication and the ability to be flexible. “The biggest way to be flexible is being prepared.”
With all weddings, preparation is key. Here are a few reasons why “bridezillas” don’t exist in my world.
Preparation
A trial is always a MUST! It allows time to connect, vibe and most importantly create a rad & personalized look. I like to start with scheduling a call. That way we can determine if we are a good fit working with each other. After that, I suggest taking a look at your calendar to see if you have any special events coming up to have your makeup and/or hair done. Once we schedule a trial, it’s important to find inspiration images of MU&H that you like. I’ve been creating Pinterest boards full of beauty inspirations for years, take a look if you need more direction in your search.
Scheduling
There are so many moving parts to a wedding. Knowing who needs to be where at a certain time makes everything come together seamlessly. If you are interested in scheduling a call to learn more about my bridal process, I would love to chat with you! scheduling
Payment deadlines
Who wants to handle money on their wedding day? <– no-one. Collecting final payment prior to the wedding is a MUST.
I require final payment completed one week prior to the wedding in one final sum from the bride. I currently accept payments via PayPal, VENMO and for special circumstances SQUARE.
