We all know the mother of the bride deserves to look stunning on her daughter’s big day. After all, she raised that beautiful bride-to-be! Here are my top tips to help your mom feel like the queen she is:
1. Embrace a Natural Glow
We want your mom to radiate beauty and elegance. So, opt for a natural, dewy foundation or tinted moisturizer to give her skin a healthy glow. Don’t forget to blend it seamlessly for that flawless finish!
Start with a lightweight, hydrating primer to create a smooth canvas. Then, reach for a light to medium-coverage foundation that matches her skin tone and blend it in like you’re creating a masterpiece. Don’t forget the concealer to hide any pesky imperfections or signs of sleepless nights spent worrying about the wedding!
2. Accentuate the Eyes
Let’s bring attention to those beautiful peepers without going all Kardashian on her. Choose neutral, earthy eyeshadows that complement her eye color and add a touch of shimmer on the lids to make them pop. And, of course, don’t forget a coat or two of mascara to give her lashes some oomph!
3. Define Those Brows
Listen up, ladies, eyebrows are the frame of the face! We want to give her a defined, but natural-looking arch that perfectly frames her face. Trust me, she’ll feel like a million bucks!
4. Play Up the Cheeks
Rosy cheeks are a must for that youthful, radiant look. Opt for a soft blush in a warm, natural shade and apply it to the apples of her cheeks. Just a little pop of color to give her that healthy, happy glow!And let me drop a little secret on you: a little highlighter on the high points of her face will give her that goddess-like radiance.
5. Pucker Up
Last but not least, let’s not forget about your mama’s lips! Choose a lipstick shade that complements her skin tone, but doesn’t steal the show from the blushing bride. A soft, neutral pink or a classic nude shade will do the trick. Why not top it off with a clear lip gloss for that extra touch of shine!
Keep it classy, elegant, and always remember to have fun with it! With these tips in your back pocket, your mother of the bride will be glowing and feeling like the proud queen she is on the big day. Now go and make your mama proud!
A Beauty Schedule for the Biggest Morning of Your Life
Hey there, gorgeous bride-to-be! Congrats on embarking on this wild adventure called marriage. Now, let’s talk about everyone’s favorite part of the wedding day - getting all dolled up! We all know you’ll be radiant no matter what, but having a solid wedding morning beauty schedule can definitely up your glam game and make you feel like a million bucks. So get ready to slay the aisle with this ultimate beauty routine!
1. Rise and Shine, Beautiful!
Start your day bright and early! You don’t want to be rushing around and stressing about your beauty routine. So set that alarm and give yourself plenty of time to relax and enjoy the process.
2. Take the Plunge: The Shower
Hop into the shower and let the warm water awaken your senses. Use a luxurious body wash that makes you feel like a goddess. And don’t forget to exfoliate that skin to achieve the smoothest canvas for your bridal glam.
3. Prime and Pamper: Skincare Routine
You want that bridal glow to be out-of-this-world, right? So now it’s time to give your skin some love. Start with a gentle cleanser, then follow up with a toner to balance your pH levels. Next, slather on a hydrating moisturizer and let it work its magic. Yup, it’s like a mini spa session before the main event. And of course, don’t forget to apply SPF because sunburn on your wedding day is a big no-no!
Zen Mode: Creating a Calm Oasis
Let’s talk about setting the mood. You deserve a tranquil, relaxing environment to get ready in. Cue the music, baby! Prepare a playlist of your favorite tunes that will calm your nerves and remind you of all the love waiting for you down the aisle. It’s like your personal wedding day soundtrack - and who doesn’t want their own movie moment?
4. Power Breakfast and Stay Hydrated
Now, I know you’re buzzing with excitement, but remember to fuel up with a nourishing breakfast. Go for something light yet nutritious so you don’t get bloated or hangry. And don’t forget to stay hydrated throughout the day. Trust me, parched lips are not a cute bridal look.
5. Sip on Some Champagne While You Prep
What better way to kick off the day than with a glass of bubbly? Get in the celebratory spirit and toast to your fabulous self. Just remember, moderation is key - we don’t want you stumbling down the aisle!
6. The Art of Hair and Makeup
It’s all about the hair, ladies! Let the hairstylist work their magic on those locks. Whether you decide on soft waves or a chic bun, make sure to give yourself ample time for perfection.
Oh, and don’t forget to create a timeline for the morning’s activities. Because, girlfriend, time management is your secret weapon against chaos! When booking with me I will create a timeline of the hair and makeup services so each person has an allocated time slot.
I personally and many other stylists like to start hair before makeup. Curls require setting time. So whilst you’re having your makeup done the hair can be setting then have your hair finished after makeup. Consider paying extra for your stylist to have an assistant. Having multiple services may need an extra person to help to keep you all on time rather than just one artist. Your wedding day is not the time to be running late. So to make sure everything runs on time for hair and makeup, if your artist mentions having an assistant, trust them and the process of having one. Sometimes it may require more than one assistant depending on how big your bridal party is. This is usually an extra cost but so worth it.
Ah, we’re nearly there-time for makeup and transforming you into a wedding goddess. You’ve hired professionals, so sit back, relax, and let me work my magic.
Have your bridal party bring Inspo pics
I always like to ask the bride to let her bridal party know to bring Inso pics. Pictures speak a thousand words. This way on the day you can show us what you’re hoping for. Even better if you can send this to your hair and makeup artist in advance.
7. Bridal Party Photos
Time to capture some memories with your bridal party. Strike a pose and show off the stunning squad in all their glory.
This picture will be a treasured keepsake.
8. Slip Into That Dress
It’s almost showtime! Slip into that showstopping dress and let the butterflies run wild. This is it, you’re about to walk down the aisle!
9. The Final Touch: Fragrance
You’ve reached the final step, my beautiful bride. It’s time to choose your signature scent. Whether it’s a romantic floral fragrance or a sultry musk, spritz it on and let it be your magical aura for the day. Oh, and don’t forget the touch-ups. You’ll want to keep that face fresh and flawless for those Insta-worthy photos!
Congratulations, darling! You’ve made it through your wedding morning beauty schedule. Now it’s time to grab your bouquet, and strut your stuff down the aisle like you own it. Remember, the most important thing is that you feel amazing and confident. Cheers to love, laughter, and a lifetime of fabulousness!
P.S. Don’t forget to assign your bridesmaids to handle any emergencies that may arise. Someone needs to be in charge of the emergency blotting papers and the “just-in-case” champagne, right? You got this, babe!
