Timing, and Teamwork: The Secret to a Smooth Wedding Morning
One part of your wedding day timeline that often gets overlooked during the initial planning stages is your hair and makeup schedule. Your beauty team does far more than simply make you look and feel amazing; they’re also experts at keeping your morning running smoothly. From managing multiple styles and personalities to ensuring everyone is ready on time for photos, your hair and makeup artists are the unsung heroes who set the tone for a calm, joyful start to your big day. They’re also skilled at adapting quickly, whether that means adjusting to different hair textures, last-minute inspiration photos, or unexpected weather changes.
For Anna’s wedding morning, the bride, her mother, and six bridesmaids all had their hairstyles professionally done in a perfectly orchestrated process by Beauty Artistry by Natalia and CDH Makeup Artistry that began bright and early at 7 a.m. and wrapped up just in time for everyone to get dressed by 2 p.m. With naturally curly hair, Anna’s locks were blow-dried straight to create a smooth, sleek base for her bun, finished with delicate pearl accents for a soft, romantic touch.
The group’s organization and preparation allowed for a relaxed, joyful start to the day- no small feat for a bridal party of eight! Each hairstyle took about 45 minutes to complete, ranging from glamorous Hollywood waves to a chic braided ponytail for the mother of the bride, along with French twists, textured low buns, and half-up, half-down styles. Every look was thoughtfully tailored to each person’s hair texture and length, creating a cohesive yet personalized lineup that perfectly reflected the tone of the celebration, which you’ll see below thanks to photos from Vermont hairstylist Beauty Artistry by Natalia.
