“I Didn’t Know That!” – 3 Overlooked Wedding Morning Beauty Mistakes

You’ve got your timeline, your suppliers, your champagne glasses lined up…

And yet, so many wedding mornings still feel rushed, stressful or behind schedule.

The culprit? These tiny but common bridal beauty mistakes that no one tells you about until it’s too late.

Let’s fix that.


Mistake 1: Underestimating how long hair and makeup takes

Doing your own hair for a night out is one thing. A full bridal glam, that’s a whole other rhythm.

Hair and makeup for one person can take 90 minutes. Add bridesmaids, mums, and flower girls, and suddenly you’re juggling 4–6 people in a short space of time.

A good artist will help you create a timeline in advance, factoring in prep time, outfit changes, photographer arrivals and more.


✨ Bonus tip: Don’t be last in the chair. Artists will always give you a final touch-up just before you leave.


Mistake 2: Not preparing your space for the artist

Artists are pros at working in all kinds of spaces. But a little prep makes everything smoother:

  • Clear a clean table or surface near natural light

  • Set out inspiration images

  • Have a plug socket nearby and a chair ready


✨ Bonus tip: Wear a robe or button-down shirt to avoid hair/makeup being disrupted when you change.


Mistake 3: Packing the morning with too much ‘extra’ stuff

Letters to read, breakfast to eat, photographers to greet... wedding mornings are beautiful but busy.

Trying to do it all can result in half-finished lashes and a rushed moment down the aisle.


✨ Bonus tip: Build in buffer time. You’ll always need it.


Let your beauty morning be the calm before the celebration.The best artists don’t just apply makeup, they help you stay centred. But only if the plan supports them to do so.

Let’s help you get that right from the start.
