2. Ask questions: When you’re talking to potential hair and makeup artists, don’t be afraid to ask all the questions that come to mind. A great artist will be happy to answer all of your questions and put your mind at ease. 

Find out in detail what services they offer, do they offer on-location services? Do they do airbrush makeup or traditional makeup? Is their style of makeup natural or dramatic? Ask what products they use, and if they have experience with your specific hair and makeup needs. 

If you have any sensitivities to makeup or hair products be sure to let your potential artist know so they can determine whether or not they can accommodate you. 

Here’s a fun little story for you. We once had a bride who had a specific request for her wedding day – no aerosol sprays! You may or may not know, most hair products come in an aerosol can. But luckily, she let us know well in advance and we were able to bring all the right products to create her desired look and keep her comfortable. And that, my friend, is why communication is key! 

The best artist for you will make sure to have an open line of communication with you, to understand all your needs and wants. So don’t hold back, ask those questions and let the artist know about all your special requests.

The bridal suite at Pine Forest Country Club is like a dream come true for us! It’s spacious, has huge mirrors, and lots of great lighting, the perfect place for getting ready.

The bride and her sister were thrilled with their hair and makeup looks, it was a wonderful feeling to see them both looking and feeling their best! If you love feeling fabulous, polished and pampered, you know we are the team for you!

Another popular trend for natural brides is the “dewy” look. This makeup style focuses on creating a healthy, radiant glow on the skin. Let’s face it, this look is to show off that glow from within!

To achieve this juicy look, use a hydrating moisturizer, we love the Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin and CeraVe Moisturizing Cream. If you have psoriasis or eczema like I do, Embryolisse is great for those extra dry areas and everyday use. 

Use a hydrating liquid, cream, or airbrush foundation. Be sure to avoid using a matte foundation. 
Matte = Not dewy!

Highlighter can be used to add a glow to the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and cupid’s bow.

Finish off with a light dusting of setting powder to set the makeup and give a natural, dewy finish. Just remember, the more powder you add, the more matte your makeup will be.

Last step is setting with a finishing spray, this will remove any powdery finish your setting powder may have caused and lock your makeup in place. Use a hydrating setting spray instead of a matte finishing spray and say hello to juicy, radiant lovely skin!

 Skindinavia Bridal Spray is one of our go-to setting sprays for a hydrated look.

At Polished, we helped bring our bride’s vision to life with a hair and makeup look that perfectly fit the theme. Our aim was to accentuate each person’s natural beauty and create a cohesive look for the whole bridal party.

For the bridesmaids, we went for soft, romantic curls that complement the bride’s stunning updo. Every bridesmaid is unique, with different hair colors and cuts, but our team made sure each person’s hairstyle fit them perfectly.

When they all stand together for photos, the consistent soft waves in each bridesmaid’s hair ties the whole look together beautifully. It’s like their hair is telling its own story, and it’s a beautiful one!

Our packages include everything you need for a stress-free and gorgeous bridal experience, including bridal trials at our studio. 

Bridal hair and makeup trials are essential for making sure you love your hairstyle and makeup look before the big day. 

You can even book with us for the day of your bridal portraits or dress fitting for a true vision of the wedding day.
