Why You Should Have Your Wedding Hair And Makeup Done Professionally

When looking for a way to cut down on the cost of a wedding, some brides think they should cut out professional hair and makeup. As a bride,  you may think you have this covered since you have been doing your own makeup since you first learned how to put on eyeliner. There are so many reasons why you should hire a professional hair and makeup artist on your special day. The biggest reason is that is is your BIG day and it’s the one day when you should be totally pampered.

Here are a few other reasons why you should hire a professional to do your wedding hair and makeup:

Professional Products: We are used to the same every hair and makeup routine. The products we carry in our purse are more than enough to appease our comfort level for work, school and daily life. However, on the wedding day,  it’s important to hire an experienced artist who uses a combination of professional products that are meant to last and withstand the rigorous pace of the wedding. Being in front of the camera and being “on” for 12-15 hours is much different than sitting at work or hanging out with friends on a normal day.

Proper Skin Prep: Underneath the look of beauty that is created just for you, it is important to ensure that each moment is flawless. By utilizing the proper application and combination of skin moisturizers, primers and professional hair products, each smile for the camera and hug to each guest will be equally composed and put together. From the  first kiss to the last hug goodbye, we want our hair and makeup to be flawless.

Every Picture, Perfect: A professional understands which products are suited for the camera, where and how they should be applied and the best way to use them to achieve optimum allure in every photo. You will look back on your wedding photos for the rest of your life. They will be displayed in your home, uploaded to Facebook, and shown off to all your guests. You will smile every time you see the style of you and your bridesmaids, knowing that you took care in everyone looking their best.

New Designers

VICTOR HARPER Formerly with Amsale/Cristos/Kenneth Pool, and more recently the designer behind Platinum for Priscilla of Boston fame, Kenneth Pool was the talk of the town at market in New York recently with his new “Victor Harper” collection of strong, satin, beaded bridal gowns. The collection, named after his grandfather, has two price point options and range between $2,600-$6,000. LWD was selected as the only authorized retailer in Colorado, and we are thrilled to have this more formal, structured option for Colorado brides. The Victor Harper collection arrives at LWD this August!

What Brides Want

January, February, and March were the busiest ever at Little White Dress Bridal Shop. It’s fascinating, exciting, and rewarding to be part of such a special time in the lives of so many different women. Each and every bride has such an interesting story to share. Direct from the forefront of the bridal business, here’s my take on what today’s bride wants:

  • Brides want to be heard. Listening, really listening, to the stories and needs of your customer goes a long way.
  • Brides want to make buying decisions they feel good about, with the support of close family and friends.
  • Brides want photographs and visuals, and they want mobile access to your website and social media from their cell phones and iPads.
  • The photo below is of new Jenny Packham bridal gowns – did you know that photos receive 10 times the comments on Facebook than text posts?
  • Brides want regular communication via text or email, but sometimes a phone call really is still best.
  • Brides want their individuality and creativity to be acknowledged and to be noticeable.
