Congratulations, gorgeous! You’re officially engaged, and the countdown to your dream day has begun. As you dive into wedding planning, you’ll quickly learn that there are some very hot commodities in the bridal world—your venue, your photographer, and, of course, your hair and makeup artist (aka your personal glam squad). While booking hair and makeup might not be at the very top of your list right now, we’re here to tell you why it absolutely should be.

Why Booking Early is Essential

The wedding industry is booming, and the best beauty pros book up faster than your favorite coffee shop on a Monday morning. If you’ve got your heart set on a specific look—or you just want to work with an expert who knows how to make your glow last from your first kiss to the last dance—you need to secure your spot now.

Availability Is Key

Top-tier hair and makeup artists often book 12 to 18 months in advance, especially during peak wedding season. Think of us as the luxury handbags of the bridal world—highly sought after, exclusive, and worth every penny. The earlier you reach out, the better your chances of snagging your dream artist before someone else swoops in.

Tailored Trials Take Time

Your bridal look is more than just makeup—it’s a vibe. From natural elegance to Hollywood glam, your beauty team will work with you to create a custom look that feels so you. Early bookings mean you’ll have plenty of time to experiment during your trial, ensuring everything is picture-perfect on the big day.

Benefits of Booking Early

1. Lock in the Best of the Best

The most in-demand artists are already booking dates for 2025. The later you wait, the slimmer the pickings. Pro tip: your beauty team can make or break your wedding morning vibe, so choose a team that feels like your hype squad and delivers next-level artistry.

2. Stress-Free Planning

Booking early means one less thing to worry about as your wedding date approaches. Imagine the peace of mind knowing your glam is handled and that your artist is already prepping to make you shine.

3. Stay Ahead of Trends

2025 brides are already swooning over trends like glowy, natural skin, soft glam waves, and elevated bridal buns. By booking early, your artist can help you stay ahead of the curve, tailoring the latest looks to suit your style.

The Risks in Waiting

We get it—wedding planning can be overwhelming. But waiting to book your hair and makeup can lead to:

Limited availability: Your dream artist might already be booked.
Higher stress levels: Scrambling to find someone last minute is not the vibe.
Fewer options: The earlier you book, the more flexible your timeline will be for trials and planning.
