Behind the Scenes: The Work That Goes into Your Wedding Hair and Makeup

When you book Emerald Beauty - Makeup & Hair for your wedding day, it’s more than just showing up to do hair and makeup. Behind the scenes, there’s a lot of work that happens to ensure your day is seamless, enjoyable, and unforgettable. In fact, we spend far more time working behind the scenes than we do with you directly. Let’s take a look at everything that goes into making your bridal beauty experience flawless.

The Planning Phase: From Emails to Scheduling

From the moment you inquire about our services, the wheels start turning.

1. Initial Communication

   We respond to your emails or calls to discuss your vision, availability, and package options. This often involves multiple back-and-forth conversations to ensure every detail is perfect.
   

2. Contracts and Confirmations

   Once you’re ready to book, we prepare your contract and send it over for review and signature. We also collect the retainer to secure your wedding date.
   

3. Scheduling Artists

   Depending on the size of your bridal party, we coordinate with our team to ensure the right artists are scheduled for your wedding day.
   

4. Preview Appointment

   We’ll schedule your preview appointment to create and perfect your wedding look. This involves setting aside dedicated time to work with you in our studio, ensuring your vision comes to life.
   

5. Sending Tips and Tricks

   Six months before your wedding, we send out a detailed sheet of tips and tricks to help you prepare. These tips cover everything from skincare and hair care routines to advice on how to keep your morning running smoothly.

1. Creating the Wedding Day Schedule

   One of the most important pieces of the puzzle is building a detailed wedding day schedule. This ensures every member of your bridal party knows when and where they need to be, leaving no room for confusion or delays.

The Wedding Day: More Than Just Hair and Makeup

On the big day, we don’t just show up and work magic—we’re already prepared thanks to hours of meticulous planning.

1. Traveling to Your Venue

   We pack our fully stocked kits, including professional lighting, makeup chairs, and every tool we might need. Then, we travel to your venue, often driving long distances to be there on time.
   

2. Setting Up

   Once we arrive, we carefully set up our workstation to ensure everything is ready for you and your bridal party. From lighting to the tiniest brush, everything has its place.
   

3. Helping you have fun!

   Now it’s time for the hair and makeup magic—but we’re not just here for that. We’re also your hype squad, your calm in the chaos, and your go-to gals for keeping the morning light and joyful. Need a pep talk? A lipstick opinion? Someone to remind you to sip your mimosa? We’ve got you. We’re all about good energy, big laughs, and making sure you feel confident and cared for every step of the way.
   

Beyond the Weddings: The Work You Don’t See

Our job doesn’t end with wedding days or preview appointments. Running a bridal beauty business means we’re constantly working behind the scenes.

1. Social Media Management

   From posting beautiful photos of our work to sharing helpful beauty tips, we’re always engaging with current and potential clients online. This takes hours of planning, creating, and interacting each week.
   

2. Bookkeeping and Administration

   Keeping track of payments, contracts, and schedules requires organization and attention to detail. We manage this alongside the creative aspects of our business.
   

3. Networking and Business Growth

   We attend events, connect with wedding vendors, and stay active in the industry to ensure we’re always delivering the best to our clients.
   

4. Team Training and Development

   Behind the scenes, we work on our skills, test new products, and keep up with trends to ensure we’re always at the top of our game.

The Heart Behind the Hustle

We love what we do, and we pour our hearts into ensuring that every bride feels radiant, confident, and cared for. It’s not just about creating a beautiful look—it’s about crafting an experience that helps you feel at ease and excited for your big day.
