1.Begin your search early

Just like with wedding shopping and vendor booking, start looking for your makeup artist early. You have to zero-in on the right person for the job, and make sure she is available on your wedding day. It isn’t necessary that the first candidate you consider would be the right person for the job. You may have to look around and spend time on trials. So, plan at least 3 to 4 months before your wedding day.

2.Start by asking your friends

Almost everything in the world of weddings is simplified when we have references and recommendations. Let this guide you on your search for the perfect makeup artist too. Ask your friends, or check with the other brides who you thought, looked fantastic on their wedding day. Once you are armed with this information, get in touch with the person, and check it out for yourself.

3.Look at advertisements and listings, and check out reviews

If you cannot find a recommendation, look at advertisements in newspapers, magazines or on the internet. If you do not know someone who has personally opted for the service, make sure to look for reviews and feedback on the artist, so you get a fair idea of how efficient they are.

4.Discuss your expectations and ask for a trial

Not all makeup artists work alike. You have to find a person whose style matches your expectations. Only then can you look like you intended to, on your wedding day. Fix an appointment and discuss your expectations. Pay for a trial, as it is really worth the effort. It is better to know in advance, than be disappointed with how you end up looking on the day. Expect to pay a fee for the trial, but it will help you will get a clear idea of how you will look on your big day.

5.Use pictures to convey your idea

There is only so much you can communicate using expressions like “look natural” or “make it subtle”. Your makeup artist needn’t understand what you intend, as each person has a different take on any idea. The better option is to collect pictures off magazines or the internet, on what you want your makeup to be like. Share this with your makeup artist, and she will get a better idea of what you want.

Once you find the right person for the job, make sure that you fix your appointment for the day and stick to the time-line necessary to complete your makeup properly. For the rest of your wedding shopping and all other things bridal, visit us on Best for Bride and we can help you find it all.

Say ‘Yes’ to the Dress: 4 Telltale Signs You’ve Found Your Dream Wedding Gown!

Princess-style ball gowns, stunning mermaid-inspired dresses, elegant A-line dresses—the options in wedding dresses are endless. Your wedding shopping is the experience of a lifetime, one where you buy the most important dress you’ll ever wear. While you may come across several fabulous dresses at your bridal boutique appointment, how do you know which is “the dress?”

Let us look at the signs that your dress is the right one!

  1. You forget all about the other dresses you tried on when you wear this one

When you find the dress of your dreams, all the confusion about whether the dress with the beautiful neckline is better than the one with the stunning back details suddenly disappears. You do not think of any other dress but this one. This is because this is “the dress!”

  1. You suddenly feel emotional, or someone accompanying you tears up seeing you in the dress.

The normal reaction for a bride who has found the perfect dress is to feel emotional suddenly. But, if you aren’t the person for tears, there is still a chance that someone who has accompanied you will be tearing up. The right dress will amaze everyone when they see you walk out in it. When you find everyone glassy-eyed and unable to take their eyes off you, you should know that this dress is perfect.

  1. You feel you’ve never looked this beautiful before

The magic of the perfect dress is that it makes you feel like a Goddess. You feel you look flawless from head to toe. Everything, or almost everything, about the dress, flatters you, and you cannot think of anything that you want to change in this dress. You do not want to take it off and are mesmerized by how well it suits you from every angle. If you feel your dress is the best you’ve worn all your life, don’t think anymore—buy it.

  1. You begin imagining your wedding day already.

When you find a dress that fits your expectations, the first picture that comes to mind is walking down the aisle and getting married. Images of your big day are formed in your mind, and you imagine the wedding ceremony. You may need to make a few changes and alter it to fit you perfectly, but you can’t wait to wear it and amaze everyone with how beautiful you look in it.

  1. All your previous ideas for your wedding dress seem insignificant when you try this dress.

You may have decided to settle for nothing but a ball gown skirt or be unable to imagine anything but a sweetheart bodice, but when you find the right dress, all these thoughts disappear from your mind. Even when the silhouette, neckline, sleeves and pattern are entirely different from what you had envisioned, you will not want to look at another dress. This is a sure sign that you have found your dream wedding gown.
