Beauty Beyond the Bride: Tips for Mother-of-the-Bride and Bridesmaids
When it comes to a wedding, all eyes are usually on the bride. However, the mother-of-the-bride and bridesmaids play a significant role in the day’s celebrations and deserve to feel just as beautiful and confident. At Brite Beauty, we understand that every member of the bridal party contributes to the magic of the event, which is why we’re sharing our top beauty tips to ensure everyone shines.
Pre-appointment beauty prep tips
Hair Prep: For optimal styling results, when artists arrive on-location please ensure that your hair is clean and dry for curated styling (updos, half-up styles, and defined downstyles). If you’ve booked a blowout, shampoo your hair prior to the hair artist's arrival. For studio blowouts, we will shampoo your hair at our salon.
Skin Prep: Clean and moisturized skin is the ideal canvas for flawless makeup application. Take a few moments to gently cleanse and hydrate your face before your appointment.
Lip Exfoliation: If you plan on wearing a matte lip color, exfoliate your lips beforehand to ensure a smooth and even application. A simple sugar scrub or a gentle toothbrush can do wonders!
Facial Waxing: Avoid any facial waxing within 72 hours of your appointment. This helps to prevent redness or irritation that could interfere with your makeup.
Face Exfoliation: Exfoliating your face is great, but avoid doing so within 48 hours of your session. Over-exfoliation could lead to sensitive or inflamed skin.
Skincare Caution: To avoid any unexpected reactions, do not try new skincare treatments or products in the week leading up to the wedding or event. Stick to your trusted routine.
Hair care routine: Shiny, healthy hair makes every hairstyle look better. Consider these tips
A deep-conditioning treatment a couple weeks before the wedding.
Avoid drastic cut and hair color changes close to the wedding day.
Just like the bride, you can schedule a trial session with professional stylists to perfect the look.
Coordinating the look
Harmonizing with the Bride: The goal is to complement the bride’s beauty without overshadowing her while ensuring your makeup and hair is customized for you and enhances your best features. Discuss the overall theme and style with the bride to align hairstyles and makeup choices.
Color Palette Matters: Choose makeup shades that match the wedding’s color scheme but also enhance individual features. Neutral tones with a pop of color on the lips work beautifully for group cohesion.
Dress Style Influence: Your hairstyle and makeup should enhance your dress. For instance, opt for an elegant updo for high necklines or loose curls for strapless gowns.
Day-of Beauty Routine
Time Management: Ensure there’s enough time for everyone to get ready without feeling rushed. At Brite Beauty, our Dallas hair and makeup for special events team excels at staying on schedule.
Touch-Up Kits: Carry essentials like blotting papers, lipstick, and setting spray for touch-ups throughout the day. These small items can be lifesavers.
Comfortable Glam: Choose makeup and hairstyles that not only look stunning but also stay comfortable for hours of smiling, dancing, and celebrating.
Self-Care Tips
Hydration and Rest: Drinking plenty of water and getting enough sleep before the big day will keep your skin glowing and your energy high.
Stress Management: Wedding days can be overwhelming. Take deep breaths or enjoy a quick meditation session to stay calm and centered.
Healthy Snacks: Fuel your body with light, balanced meals to keep your energy up throughout the day.
Special Tips for the Mother-of-the-Bride
Timeless Elegance: Classic looks are always flattering. Subtle makeup with neutral tones and a radiant blush creates a sophisticated appearance.
Soft Highlights: Enhance features with soft, glowing makeup. A touch of shimmer on the eyes and a bold lipstick can elevate the look without being overpowering.
Practical Hairstyles: Opt for polished styles that withstand emotional moments like toasts and dancing. Secure updos or soft waves with pins can work wonders.
Bridesmaid Beauty Essentials
Fun and Elegant Looks: Balance playfulness with elegance. Light, fresh makeup paired with trendy hairstyles, like braids or loose curls, can create a stunning look.
Personalized Touches: While the bridesmaids’ looks should be cohesive, allow room for personal preferences to make each feel confident.
Hair Accessories: Add a touch of sparkle or floral accents to hairstyles for a charming, wedding-ready vibe.
