BRIDAL BOOKING FAQ
WHEN SHOULD I RESERVE MY WEDDING DATE?
I start booking a year out! The most popular months are June, September and October, which tend to book up first. To secure your date a signed contract and deposit are required. Without this, I unfortunately cannot hold your date. Fill out our bridal form under Contact and I’ll send you additional information!
I’m a bit nervous about booking right away. Can I book my trial and give a deposit at a later date?
-Due to high demand I am unable to reserve your date past your trial without a deposit. I often have multiple inquiries per wedding dates during prime wedding season and highly recommend deciding that day to ensure you are able to book with me.
WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT BOOKING YOUR BIG DAY...
WHAT IS REQUIRED TO RESERVE MY WEDDING DATE?
A signed contract and $100.00 non-refundable/non-transferable booking deposit is required upfront to reserve your wedding date. The deposit will be deducted from the brides final balance on the wedding day.
WHAT SHOULD I KNOW BEFORE SIGNING A CONTRACT?
The big “3” - ready time, size of party and location . Please consult with your photographer in advance before committing to your ready time on a signed contract. All other bookings on the day are tailored around the information you provide.Significant changes of location and ready time indicated (+/- 30 min) may not be possible and may be subject to additional fees.
CAN MY BRIDESMAIDS PAY INDIVIDUALLY FOR THEIR SERVICES?
I require all services to be paid for in advance. What most of my brides do is have the bridesmaids pay them for the services they're receiving so you're able to pay the balance in full.
HOW FAR DO YOU TRAVEL?
As far as you need me! My travel fee is based on location and distance.
HOW WILL THE HAIR & MAKEUP SCHEDULE GO ON THE DAY OF?
EVERYTHING YOU NEEDTO KNOW THE MORNING OF YOUR BIG DAY!
I will arrive 15 mins before our agreed upon start time. Unless specified, I typically do not do day of timelines. You will have a set start time which will be determined by the amount of services needed, photographer arrival, time for getting ready pics and departure time. If you have multiple people in your bridal party getting services done, I ask that everyone arrive at the set start time and come ready to be styled. The reason I do not do time slots is because everyones hair type and desired style will be different. I like to have everyone there and ready so things go smoothly on both ends.
SHOULD I WASH MY HAIR AND WHAT SHOULD I WEAR THE MORNING OF?
Wear something that can easily be removed when the time comes to put your dress on. You don’t want it to disturb your hair. CLEAN DRY HAIR: I strongly recommend washing your hair the night before and letting it air dry with a little mousse or light gel.
*If you have oily or fine hair please wash it the morning of your wedding without any conditioner and let it air dry.
BRIDAL PARTY PREP:
Blowouts: Please have them come with freshly washed hair.
Updo's: Dry hair that is free of product or hairspray. If your hair gets oily and prefer your hair clean, then wash it the morning of but hair MUST BE COMPLETELY DRY upon arrival.
