Bridal makeup is all about looking fresh and radiant. The bride will need long-wearing,
photo-friendly makeup which will allow her to look her absolute best! It is important to
me to give the bride a timeless look that won't date her when she looks back on her
wedding photos. Members of the bridal party can also benefit from getting a
professional application, as it creates a polished and coordinated look for group photos.
Wedding day hair and makeup appointments for the bride and bridal party must be
coordinated in advance.
Makeup should be done after hair, and before dressing.
Each makeup application will take approximately 25-30 minutes. While makeup remains
on-going throughout the hours leading up to the ceremony, the bride and wedding
party will have a chance to have a snack, brush their teeth, and relax a little before
all the excitement starts.
When it comes to the bridal application, most brides like to schedule their makeup
approximately 30 minutes before dressing. As soon as the bride's makeup is complete,
she is ready to step into her gown and leave for the ceremony with the freshest face
possible.
While the bride is dressing, touch-ups will be available for the members of the
wedding party who were done an hour or 2 before. This way, everyone can leave
together looking fresh and flawless.

Securing your date

How far in advance?
SWMA takes bookings up to a year in advance. To ensure our availability, please book
as early as possible. Although most bookings are done months in advance, please
don't hesitate to inquire about last minute bookings - you never know what may have
opened up!
We'll go wherever you and your bridal party are getting ready. This will drastically
reduce your "run-around" time, as you won't have to be rushing around to
appointments on your wedding day worrying about traffic, parking, or getting mussed
up by the weather!
Makeup applications on the wedding day may either take place:
- in-home,
- at the wedding venue, or
- in your hotel suite
When having your makeup done privately at the location of your choice, you are
allowing yourself some much needed relaxation time before the ceremony. Many
brides say that having their makeup done in the comfort of their home or hotel suite
is the most soothing part of a hectic day. Your photographer can also get some great
'getting ready' shots of you in the makeup chair!
