Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion, and everything demands perfection. You have secured your hair and makeup team who are going to make you feel your most beautiful self. But, have you considered how the space you are getting ready in can have an impact on the overall experience. A cluttered and poorly lit space can affect your artists ability to perform at their very best.
I have included some tips in this blog to guide you into choosing the best accommodation for your wedding morning, and how to prepare your space for your vendors before they arrive. You will create a stress-free environment that allows your team to show their best work especially for you.
Lighting
Lighting plays a crucial role in achieving stunning artistry. Natural light is our best friend. If possible, choose accommodation and a space with large windows. Bright, even lighting helps your hair and makeup artist see every detail, ensuring that the final look is flawless in person and on-camera.
Have a close look at your selected accommodations space. Hotels can have smaller sized rooms with darker interior affecting the overall brightness of the room. Air B&Bs often have a larger space, with floor to ceiling windows creating the perfect light to get ready in. Set your stylists up for perfection by choosing accommodation with great natural light coming in. Your photographer will love this too!
Clutter
Creating a functional workspace for your hair and makeup artist begins with clearing away any unnecessary clutter. Your stylist needs plenty of room to set up their tools, as well as space to move freely. Start by removing any extra furniture like desk chairs and accent tables. This not only helps your stylist work more comfortably but also allows you and your bridal party to navigate the room with ease.
Remove any rubbish, and keep your personal items neatly tucked away. The more streamlined and tidy the space, the more efficiently your artist can work. You definitely don’t want a background full of bottles and mess in your professional photos also!
Space
In addition to clearing clutter, your artist will need a flat surface, for example a dining table or desk where we can neatly organise our professional kits. Avoid having your stylists set up in the bathroom, the space is often cramped and unsanitary making it harder for them to perform their best work.
A large table secured by a big window is a dream set up. By ensuring enough space for the tools and products, you are giving your team the optimal environment to create your dream wedding look.
These tips are essential to creating a calm, efficient and stress-free environment on your wedding morning, which we all want! By clearing the space, ensuring proper lighting, and providing a dedicated area for tools, you will help your hair and makeup artist work their magic for your very special day.
