Why Wedding Party Glam Should Be Planned Early

One of the most common mistakes couples make is waiting too long to think about wedding party hair and makeup services. Professional glam impacts literally your entire day, including:

  • your wedding morning timeline,
  • photo and video timeliness and the amount of photos captured (content),
  • how confident and comfortable everyone feels (energy), and
  • the overall flow of the day (the vibes)! 

Booking your wedding party professional glam early ensures your wedding morning schedule works with your wedding timeline — not against it.

Who Should You Include in Wedding Party Glam?

The best way to begin is with a list. Start with “who” needs to book professional glam services. Typically, we begin with the following people:

Common Hair & Makeup Requests

  • Bridesmaids & Maid of honor
  • Mothers of the couple
  • Grandmothers
  • VIP family members
  • Guests participating in photos
  • Kids in the ceremony:  flower girls, ring bearers, etc.

Grooming & Barber Services

  • Groom + groomsmen
  • Fathers of the couple
  • Anyone wanting a clean fade, trim, or beard detail

Pacheco Beauty offers barber services alongside hair and makeup, making it easy to care for your entire wedding party in one place.

How Many Professional Hair + Makeup Artists Do You Need to Plan On?

The number of professional glam stylists needed on your wedding morning to get everyone wedding day ready depends on multiple factors:

  • Total number of services
  • Ceremony start time
  • Getting-ready location
  • Desired finishing buffer

As a general rule, larger wedding parties benefit from a team-based glam approach, which allows everyone to be ready calmly and on time. In order to support weddings of all sizes, Pacheco Beauty builds out custom teams for each wedding. Consequently, whether your wedding is an intimate gathering with only 3 people total for glam or it’s an epic celebration with a list of 10+, we’ve got you covered.

Wedding Planning 101 for GLAM: On-Site Glam vs. Salon Appointments

Most Southern California couples prefer on-site wedding party glam, and for good reason:

  • There’s little to no travel stress
  • Everyone stays together the entire time
  • Better coordination with photography and planning
  • A relaxed, celebratory atmosphere with a celebratory vibe

Mobile glam teams immediately add more time into your wedding timeline and we arrive ready to GO with: professional kits, lighting, and tools directly related to you, regardless of “where” you’re getting ready….. at home, a hotel, an Air BnB, or a venue we have everything we need to get you GLAM ready!

Wedding Timeline Tips for Wedding Party Professional Glam

It can be easy to rush right in, yet when you’re planning for your wedding party professional glam, keep the following timing tips listed below in mind and remember, this should be FUN!

  • Start earlier than you think
  • Schedule the bride last (for hair and makeup- traditionally, but NOT always)
  • Allow buffer time for touch-ups
  • Coordinate with your wedding photographer and wedding planner

Efficiency is key, albeit a well-planned wedding glam timeline keeps the morning calm and allows everyone to enjoy the experience.

Inclusive Wedding Glam for Every Wedding Party

Weddings are personal — and so is hair and makeup. It’s incredibly vital to us as a team, to proudly offer inclusive services, for: all genders, styles, and identities. Whether someone wants full glam, natural polish, or professional grooming, everyone deserves to feel confident and camera-ready, especially on their wedding day.
