Bridal planning
A wedding is a schedule, not an appointment
Almost everything that goes wrong on a wedding morning was decided — or left undecided — three months earlier.
What this answers
The order matters: skin work first, because it needs weeks and can flare; hair treatments next, because they settle; the trial last, close enough to the date that what you approve is what you will wear. This subject covers how far ahead to start, what a trial should actually settle, how a look is chosen for the light you will be photographed in, and what to do when the date moves.

Start here
- Bridal Skin Prep: A Three-Month Plan
A working plan for bridal skin counted backwards from your date: what to do three months out, what to stop four weeks out, what the last week is for.
- The Bridal Countdown
Counted backwards from your wedding date: the last safe date for keratin, colour, peels, brow work and lashes, and what gets dropped first.
- What a Bridal Trial Settles
A bridal trial: what to bring, the two hours it takes, what is photographed and written down, and when the look is final.
- Makeup Across the Wedding Functions
How a multi-function wedding is run: the order functions are serviced in, how long before each you sit down, and what is done at the venue.
- Seasonal Bridal Planning
What changes between a summer, monsoon and winter wedding: when to start, which treatment is postponed in humidity, and why monsoon hair differs.
Where this is practised
- Bridal makeup at Salon By Babita
The full service: consultation, trial, the morning itself.
- Hair repair before the date
Started early enough that the hair has settled by the wedding morning.
