Bride Tips From Dax Photography: Makeup and Hair order. The order in which you and your girls get your hair and makeup done the day of the wedding can make a huge difference in the flow and schedule of the day. I've seen some weddings where they save the bride til last to get her hair and makeup done...DON'T! Say you have 5 bridesmaids all getting hair and makeup done by the time they get to the bride things are undoubtedly running late (it's a wedding after all) which puts pressure on the hair and makeup people to get done faster and adds stress to the bride in general. My best advice is to never have the bride go first or last with hair and makeup but rather to have her go 2nd or 3rd. That way she's done and can relax and if something needs to be touched up it can be done before she leaves the salon. Not everyone has a photographer that can do hair and makeup ;) www.daxphotography.com
