I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not real great at doing my own hair. To tell the truth, all I can really do is a pony tail, or maybe on a good day I can do this little french twist thing with a couple off bobby pins. For some reason curling irons never do what I want them to do, and my flat iron just doesn’t work with me either. Lucky for me my husband likes my hair down and straight, and that is easy enough for me to handle. And while we are being truthful here, I don’t really even like wearing make-up all that much. I’ll put some base and eyeliner on for a special occasion, but anything else I’m pretty lost on. So I knew that for my wedding I would have to either enlist a friend with those talents, or hire an expert to help me out. After some minor research I found an expert in both hair and make-up nearby who could help me out.
This lady I found would come out to my wedding site and do my hair and make-up. She would also stay right up until the wedding started in case something went wrong or some pins came loose. Not only that, but she was also there on site and available to work with my bridesmaids and get their hair and make-up done as well if they needed it. This saved both me and my bridesmaids a lot of time and stress having to make appointments at a salon and then be back in time for pictures. Not only that, I didn’t have to worry about getting from the salon to the church while keeping my hair in place. This method worked out the best for me since not only was I unable to do the work myself, I was also able to not have something else to worry about. This may not be the best route for everyone though.
Some women can do their make-up well, and don’t need someone to come in and help them with that. If you can do your own make-up, and own all the make up you need to get the look you want for your wedding, then do it yourself and save the money. I just knew the extent of my talent at make-up, and knew that I needed some help. Also, if you have a friend who can do hair well, and is willing to take the time to do your hair for the wedding, then show her pictures of what you’d like and have her try and do it for you. A couple of practice sessions may be in order. With all the expenses of your wedding, I know how brides need to save money where they can, and this is one of those areas. If you can do your own make-up, and get someone to do your hair for you, then I say go for it. Unfortunately this was something I had to spend the money on because I knew that there was no way I could do it myself.
