Why do hair and makeup artists charge more for bridal?
Ah, the magical world of bridal beauty!
Think of it like this: your wedding day is not just another day—it’s THE day.
Our hair and makeup artists go the extra mile (sometimes literally!) to make sure you’re glowing like a goddess in every photo, from the aisle to the dance floor.
Bridal makeup involves longer consultations, meticulous trial runs, and products that will withstand happy tears, hugs, and a night of epic dancing.
Plus, we’re your calm amidst the pre-wedding storm—priceless, right?
It’s all about giving you that extra-special treatment you deserve for your big moment!
What is the etiquette for bridal party hair and makeup?
We’re here to bring calm to the chaos and make everyone look like the fabulous humans they are!
Here's how to keep it smooth and stress-free:
-
Timing is Everything: Share our schedule with your bridal party ahead of time so everyone knows when to arrive (and no one’s still in their bed when it’s go-time).
-
Fresh Faces & Clean Hair: We love a blank canvas! Ask your crew to show up with clean, dry hair and a makeup-free, moisturized face.
-
Be Kind, Rewind (Your Expectations): If your MOH wants a bold lip and Aunt Linda prefers to skip foundation, we’re here to make everyone comfortable while keeping the vibes positive.
-
Stay Flexible: Things can shift, so keep the energy light and trust us—we’ve got this!
At Goode Beauty, we make sure every strand is styled and every face is flawless, all while keeping your bridal party laughing and loving the process. It’s your day to shine, and we’re here to sprinkle the sparkle! ✨
Why is bridal hair and makeup more expensive than bridesmaids'?
Oh, darling, it’s because the bride is the star of the show!
Bridal hair and makeup isn’t just a style—it’s an art form.
It’s about creating a look that’s picture-perfect, tear-proof, hug-proof, and dance-floor ready, all while making sure you feel like the queen you are.
It takes extra time, skill, and a sprinkle of fairy dust (okay, maybe just really good products) to craft a masterpiece that’ll hold up through “I do,” the champagne toasts, and beyond.
Think of it like couture versus ready-to-wear—your big day deserves the couture treatment!

Who is supposed to pay for bridesmaids hair and makeup?
Who’s supposed to foot the bill for bridesmaids’ hair and makeup?
Great question! Traditionally, bridesmaids cover their own glam, but hey, there’s no "one-size-fits-all" rule here!
Some fabulous brides treat their squad as a thank-you gift or choose to pay a portion, while others let their bridesmaids decide if they want to splurge on those picture-perfect curls and flawless faces.
