The Ultimate Bridal Beauty Timeline: How to Prep for Your Big Day

Your wedding day is one of the most photographed days of your life, so naturally, you want to look and feel your best. Here’s a step-by-step bridal beauty timeline to ensure you’re fully prepared for your big day:

6–12 Months Before

  • Start a consistent skincare routine to address any concerns like acne, dryness, or uneven texture. If needed, consult a dermatologist or facialist.

  • Book your bridal hair and makeup artist well in advance, as top professionals (like Sophie!) get booked up quickly.

  • Schedule a trial session to test your desired look. Bring inspiration photos and share details about your dress, theme, and colour scheme.

3–6 Months Before

  • Finalise your hairstyle, especially if you’ll need to grow or trim your hair.

  • Consider professional brow shaping to define your natural arches.

  • Begin practising healthy habits, such as drinking plenty of water and eating nutrient-rich foods for glowing skin.

1–2 Weeks Before

  • Schedule your final hair colour appointment and any touch-ups.

  • Get a hydrating facial, but avoid anything too harsh that could irritate your skin.

  • Prepare your lips by exfoliating and moisturising them daily.

On the Day

  • Trust your hair and makeup artist to bring your vision to life. Relax, sip some water (or champagne!), and enjoy the process—you’re about to have the best day of your life!
