Planning your bridal look in Seattle? Whether you’re having a city rooftop ceremony or a forest elopement, here are some of our best hair and makeup tips to help you look flawless and feel confident on your wedding day.
💄 1. Book Your Artist Early
Seattle’s bridal season fills up fast — especially for summer and fall weddings. Aim to book your makeup artist at least 6–9 months in advance, especially if you want a trial session beforehand.
👰 2. Schedule a Bridal Trial
Your trial is where the magic begins. You’ll work with your artist to test different looks, match your dress and vibe, and ensure you feel like you — just elevated.
🕒 Pro Tip: Book your trial on the same day as a dress fitting or engagement shoot so you can make the most of the glam!
🌦 3. Prep for Seattle Weather
Seattle’s climate can be unpredictable. Use humidity-resistant products and always have blotting sheets handy. For outdoor weddings, ask your artist about setting sprays that help makeup last through mist or sun.
💇♀️ 4. Choose a Hairstyle That Matches Your Dress Neckline
Soft waves, sleek buns, textured ponytails — your hairstyle should complement your dress. If you’re wearing a high neckline or veil, consider updos to keep the focus on your face.
