Booking your wedding hair and makeup team can feel overwhelming, especially when you don’t have your timeline, bridal-party numbers or final beauty look figured out yet.
The good news? You don’t need to have every detail finalized before reaching out. Here are three of the most common questions brides ask when booking wedding hair and makeup in Toronto and the GTA.
1. How far in advance should I book my wedding hair and makeup?
We recommend booking your wedding hair and makeup team approximately 6 to 12 months before your wedding, especially if you’re getting married on a popular Saturday during peak wedding season.
Saturday dates tend to fill first, while Fridays and Sundays may offer more flexibility. If you have your heart set on a particular team or artist, booking early will give you the best selection and help you avoid disappointment.
Planning on a shorter timeline? Don’t panic. The Blush Parlour occasionally has last-minute availability, and we’ve booked brides only weeks before their wedding. It’s always worth reaching out to see whether we can accommodate your date.
2. How many hair and makeup artists will I need?
The number of artists required depends on both the number of services being booked and your wedding-day timeline.
As a general guideline, one artist can typically complete up to six services. A wedding party requiring 12 to 18 services, for example, may need two or three artists.
We’ll also consider:
- Your required ready-by time
- When your bridal suite or venue becomes available
- Travel time between locations
- When you need to leave for photos or the ceremony
- The number of hair and makeup services requested
You don’t need to calculate this yourself. Our team will review your wedding details, create a realistic getting-ready schedule and determine exactly how many artists are needed for a smooth, relaxed morning.
3. What information should I have ready when I inquire?
You don’t need a finalized wedding-day timeline before contacting us. To get started, it’s helpful to have:
- Your wedding date
- Your approximate getting-ready location
- Your estimated ready-by time
- The number of hair and makeup services you may need
These details give us a starting point for confirming availability, pricing and artist requirements. If some information changes as your wedding approaches, that’s completely normal, we’ll work with you as your plans come together.
You also don’t need to know exactly how you want your hair and makeup to look. Your bridal trial is dedicated one-on-one time with your artist to explore your ideas, make adjustments and perfect a look that feels beautiful, comfortable and completely like you.
