April 2026
Almost every bridal problem we see comes from the same place: everything was booked in the last four weeks. Here is the order we would plan it in, working backwards from the date.
Six months out: hold the date
Reserve the big day as soon as your wedding date is set. Saturday mornings in season go first, and the morning slot decides everything else about your schedule.
Two to three months out: the trial
This is the appointment that makes the wedding morning boring, which is exactly what you want. Bring your veil, a photo of the dress neckline and your inspiration pictures. Bridal makeup starts from $120 and the look we agree on is written down and repeated exactly on the day.
Six to eight weeks out: skin and lashes
Start facials early enough that your skin has settled — a signature facial from $85, dermaplaning from $95. If you want lash extensions from $120 or a lash lift and tint from $80, try them now, not for the first time three days before.
Two to three weeks out: color
Color from $95 and balayage from $160 photograph best when they have had a week or two to soften. Fresh-out-of-the-salon color can read flat under a photographer’s flash.
The week of: nothing new
No first-time treatments, no new products. A blowout from $40 the day before the rehearsal dinner, event makeup from $75 for your mother and bridesmaids, and that is it.
Tell us your date on WhatsApp, or call or text (239) 634-5817, and we will build the whole calendar backwards with you.
