Day-of Essentials: A Checklist for Brides and Bridal Parties for the Wedding Day
Your wedding day is one of the most cherished moments of your life, and feeling confident, beautiful, and ready for the spotlight is essential. As a bride or bridal party member, preparing for this special occasion requires thoughtful planning, especially when it comes to hair, makeup, and beauty essentials. At Brite Beauty, we specialize in hair and makeup services designed to create a seamless, stress-free experience, ensuring every bride is picture-perfect and every bridal party member shines. To help you navigate the big day, we’ve curated a checklist of essentials, including our very own touch-up kit to keep you looking flawless from the aisle to the dance floor.
Your Ultimate Wedding Day Checklist :
1. Brite Beauty Touch-Up Kit
Your wedding day will be filled with laughter, tears, and endless photo opportunities. Our touch-up kit is a must-have for maintaining your radiant look. It includes : mesh bag, travel sized setting spray, travel sized hairspray, powder puff, lip touch up, bobby pins, tissues, mini makeup wipes, pocket mirror, ballpoint pen. From blotting papers to lipstick for quick touch-ups, your bridal look will stay impeccable, keeping you effortlessly red-carpet ready.
2. Comfortable getting-ready outfit
While prepping with your bridal party, comfort is key and photographs are essential. Imagine what you want to see in your “getting ready” photos for years to come. Matching pajamas are the best! Just make sure it’s a button-down shirt or a robe that slides off easily so as not to disturb your hairstyle or makeup.
3. Skin and hair prep
There are many steps you want to take months and days before the wedding day. Start skin treatments prep months before, we recommend visiting with an esthetician, and begin drinking lots of water. Did you know that makeup artists can help you assess if you’re dehydrated just by looking at your skin? If you're looking for a great facialist and more, we recommend visiting our friends over at Formula Wellness to receive your personalized plan.
When thinking about hair, you’ll want to consider haircut options for the curated style you’ll want for wedding day, hair color possibilities, and if you will need hair extensions for additional volume and/or length. Schedule with your regular hairstylist to discuss haircut and possibly color options.
Did you know that most bridal styles look best with layers in the hair? If you are curious what looks best on you for the style you desire, book a bridal consultation call. And for more in-depth advice, your Brite Beauty hair artist will discuss options with you during your Bridal Preview.
For the big day, we recommend getting a blowout before your rehearsal, the day before wedding day to provide volume and fullness for setting the hair on wedding day - unless you have naturally curly hair and you’re wearing your hair in its natural state. Exfoliate lips the day before your wedding, we offer a lip scrub in the studio or check out Poppy and Pout. On wedding day, moisturize lips and skin, apply eyepatches , we like Peter Roth’s or for a lower priced option, Stella and Grace is nice.
4. Emergency beauty items
From hairpins to double-sided tape, a mini emergency kit can be a lifesaver. Our mobile hair and makeup Dallas/ Ft. Worth team recommends carrying clear nail polish, band-aids, and safety pins for any unexpected mishaps.
5. Wedding Day itinerary
