Bridal Beauty Timeline: When to Book and Prep for Hair, Makeup, and Skincare

Planning your wedding beauty routine can feel overwhelming, but with the right timeline, it’s easy to stay organized. From scheduling your first facial to booking your wedding-day artist, this guide will walk you through when to take action to ensure you feel radiant and relaxed on your big day.

6-8 Months Before the Wedding


  • Book Your Hair and Makeup Artist: The best artists book up fast, especially for peak wedding dates. Lock in your artist early to get your top pick.
  • Start Your Skincare Routine: Build a skincare regimen with products that focus on hydration and radiance. This gives your skin plenty of time to adjust to any new treatments.
  • Consult with a Dermatologist (if needed): If you have specific concerns like acne or hyperpigmentation, consulting a dermatologist early will allow time for treatments to work.

By following this timeline, you’ll feel organized, confident, and ready to enjoy every moment leading up to your wedding day. Proper preparation ensures that you look and feel like the best version of yourself when you say “I do.”
