Planning Tips :: Wedding Budget Breakdown :: Hair + Makeup

Your wedding day is obviously a day you want to look your absolute best, so hiring a team of hair and makeup professionals is always a good choice to make yourself and your ladies look fab! Suggested budget for hair and makeup is 2%, so if you have a $20,000 budget then your hair and makeup budget would be $400. Depending on how many ladies you're reserving services for, you may need to adjust the hair and makeup budget higher to cover everyone. In that case, just lower the percentage of another section you won't be using some or all of.

:: TIPS ::

1. Try to find a team or service that will come to you. You'll have enough to do getting ready on wedding day. It will really help you save time and not rush if your beauty team comes to you and your 'maids, rather than you all going to a salon.

2. Make sure your team or service includes a trial run so you can see what the final result will be before wedding day. Make sure it's something you're comfortable with and you like the look of! If not, another trial can be scheduled before the wedding. Keep in mind, trials may be an additional charge so make sure to ask.

3. Is the fee per hour, per stylist, or per person being worked on? Be sure to take this into consideration if you have a large bridal party, flower girls, and mothers that you're booking hair and makeup services for.
