Bride's Welcome Guide
Inspiration Photos
Where can I get inspiration photos?
For email inspiration photo submissions, Pinterest and Instagram are great resources when searching “bridal makeup” or “bridal hairstyles”. In addition to searching for bridal-specific photos, try searching for photos from red carpets, special events, images from influencers you may follow, or other celebrities are also helpful.
✿ You are also welcome to screenshot any of our bridal hair and makeup portfolio works as inspo photos as well:
Selfies
Along with hair and makeup inspiration photos, we also request selfie photo submissions, as this helps with appointment efficiency and helps us envision how inspiration photos will translate for your hair and makeup considerations. Please take selfies in bright, natural lighting with little to no makeup on, showing your hair length in the photo as well. ✨🌿

Bridal Party Hairstyling
Hair Prep for Appointment Times
Bridal Party Hair Prep Considerations
For hair prep considerations, if all ladies could plan to wash their hair the night prior to ensure the hair is clean and fully dry for the day of that is preferred. Washing the hair a day or two days prior is fine also - please wash as your hair does best for clean, dry hair the day of. It’s also best to avoid using any heavy, cream or oil products the week leading up to the styling appointment. For those with curly, wavy hair types, a light detangling spray can also be used (applied to hair after washing the night before from the mid-shaft of your hair to your ends only) after washing hair the night prior, but it’s best to avoid any heavier products, as well as any salt sprays or texturizing sprays. We also recommend using a clarifying shampoo two weeks out and the week of to remove any product build-up as well.
Important to Note — Please READ
Also, due to timing constraints on the day of, for bridal party members booked for bridal hairstyling service appointments, that have extra thick / extra long hair and a natural curly hair pattern they do not wish to utilize, but rather have their hair pre-curled prior to constructing for styling - they will need to arrive with clean dry, hair straightened for their styling appointment service.
If any bridal party members wish to bring clip-in extensions for their styling appointments, please let us know prior if possible. As any hair clip-in applications needed are an add-on service for partial or a full set application.
Please reach out if any bridal party members have questions in regards to hairstyling and/or makeup! 🌸
