Hiring a bridal glam squad for the big day? An experienced hair and makeup team can enhance your natural beauty to help you become the most beautiful version of yourself. Yet, after deciding to get professionally primped and pampered for your wedding, you still have another pivotal decision to make: where exactly the beautification station will be.
Having a professional beauty team come to you directly—or deciding to travel to their nearby salon—generally depends on your preference and predetermined schedule. Consider this list of pros and cons of on-location wedding hair and makeup and how it might pertain to your personal situation.
Pro: The Convenience of Less Stress
For brides, opting for on-location wedding hair and makeup reduces overall stress levels. Bringing the team to you eliminates the need to drive around town or ensure that you and the bridal party are at a certain location at the right time. Even if a salon is not too far away from you, the bridal suite, or the ceremony site, simply having to travel elsewhere can become a stressful inconvenience.
If you’d rather not deal with traffic or other people in a salon, no worries. Whether you’re getting married in the middle of nowhere, in a bustling city, or across the country or an ocean for a destination wedding, having a beauty team come to your venue lets you settle in and get ready comfortably.
Pro: Fun Prep Time With the Girls
Think about the best logistics for getting ready when considering the pros and cons of on-location wedding hair and makeup. What is your ideal vision? Keep in mind who is getting their hair and makeup done, the number of stylists, the size of the bridal suite, the natural lighting in the space, and how strictly you need to stick to a schedule.
On such a busy day, things can get messy relatively quickly if unprepared, but the ultimate advantage is that you can control the environment. If on-site beauty services work for your situation, the bride and bridesmaids will have fun getting ready at the venue in a relaxed atmosphere. The bridal party can sit back and sip on tea, coffee, or mimosas, listen to pumped-up playlists, order food in, and pose for photos.
Possible Con: Efficiency or Timing Hiccups
The potential drawback of on-location beauty services is the matter of efficiency. In certain situations, traveling to a nearby salon can be more time efficient, as stylists have quick access to their resources and supplies. There is also the full assurance of adequate lighting, space, and electrical plugs. If you’re unsure, discuss with your beauty squad the best options to avoid possible hiccups on the day of the ceremony. An experienced team will be happy to accommodate the bride’s needs and address concerns.
