The perfect make-up and hairstyle for your wedding! All advice from Bilitis, Billy & Clyde

Choose a service provider that matches your needs

As with other wedding jobs, a hair and make-up artist will also have her own style. So don’t choose it at random!

Do you prefer modern, rock, folk, classical or romantic? Select a service provider whose portfolio matches your world. He’ll be able to adapt to the style you want for your big day.

And above all, meet him: not only will this allow you to see if the feeling is right (and this is a very important point!), to discuss your desires, but also to get advice on the hairstyle and make-up to adopt according to your morphology, or on the accessories to choose to sublimate your hairstyle…

Get organized before the big day

Ideally, you should do a hair and make-up trial in the 6 months preceding your wedding day. Together, you’ll be able to fine-tune what you want and feel more confident. That way, you’ll have everything you need to feel confident on the big day!

Take advantage of this trial run to estimate how much time the hairstylist/make-up artist will need to allocate to you on the big day, depending on the number of people who will be using her services on your wedding day. Don’t forget to suggest this option to your friends or witnesses!

And why not take advantage of the week before the wedding to relax? The final stretch of wedding preparations is often overloaded and stressful… On the contrary, take advantage of it to give yourself a moment to yourself, why not with friends, for a manicure, eyelash enhancement or even a foot beauty!

Get ready with your loved ones

On your wedding day, your nearest and dearest will certainly be close to you: your witnesses, your mother or mother-in-law, your sister or best friend, your daughter or your little niece… Take advantage of this opportunity to get ready all together so that you can spend an unforgettable morning in good spirits!

Your hairdresser and make-up artist can also take care of your guests’ beauty needs (without forgetting to make you a priority, rest assured!). In general, there are several types of packages to suit every taste: from express styling to a more sophisticated style, everything is possible depending on the time you have available for preparation.

The little extras that make all the difference

When you’re getting ready, every detail counts. Determining where you are going to prepare is therefore very important. Your photographer and videographer will immortalize this intimate and convivial moment. So think about the natural light in the room where you’ll be doing your make-up and styling. It should also be a place where the decoration is not too imposing, so as not to overload your photos. Make sure you tidy up before your suppliers arrive, and your photos will be all the more successful for it!

And to make this moment a real experience, why not get ready in a vintage Combi? Imagine the surprise effect on your family and friends, and the superb effect on your photos of the preparations!

Billy & Clyde will also come to you with its “Clyde” combi. This antique vehicle has been renovated and fitted out in a hippie chic style especially for your wedding. It’s up to you to choose what you want to do with it: prepare the bride or groom in an atypical space, transport the bride and groom to the ceremony, set up your photobooth inside or with the combi in the background, make it available for your wedding photos… On board, anything is possible!

What’s up? What are you waiting for?
