Actually BOOKING Your Makeup Artist/Hairstylist For Your Wedding! πŸ’Έ
Actually BOOKING Your Makeup Artist/Hairstylist For Your Wedding! πŸ’Έ

hello again!
i'm back with another post because we are right at engagement/wedding season! πŸ’so here goes my first topic,
➒booking your makeup artist/hairstylist for your wedding!

There are a TON of factors that come into play when
booking an artist/stylist for your wedding :

Some brides book based on a style preference
(i.e. the kind of look they like).
Some brides book on a referral
(my personal fave, but more on that later).

For others, budgeting/pricing is also a HUGE factor,
& then there are some brides who consider
not booking an artist at all!
Whatever it might be, I hope these tips help you decide!⇣
