“I should go last right, so I look the freshest?” I hear it time and time again and the answer is NO!
Many people think that the bride should go last when receiving beauty services on the day of the wedding, but we actually prefer the bride to go first. Why you ask?
1) This is so we have the most time to spend on the bride. If we leave the bride for last and anything is running behind, guess who we end up rushing on? Yup, you! Our preference is when we arrive, to ‘set’ the bride’s hair in curls and then prep a few attendants and then bring the bride back to finish her hair and makeup so she is ready when the photographer arrives. Then we will finish 1 or 2 attendants at the end. As mentioned above, it is important that the bride is finished, or doing final finishing touches, when the photographer arrives so you look flawless and fabulous in your “getting ready” photos. We can always mock a few makeup touchup and hair shots on a perfect looking bride.
2) Plus, you can also spend the most time on the bride. This way and rush on someone else if time is running late. It also allows the team at MMF to provide a little extra time to apply depuffing eye pads for the bride to wear in the morning prior to makeup application. .
