Toronto Wedding Beauty Timeline: When to Book Hair & Makeup

Your wedding day beauty should be flawless, stress-free, and unforgettable. In Toronto’s bustling bridal scene, timing is everything when it comes to booking hair and makeup. From securing your artist to scheduling a preview session, having a clear timeline ensures you look radiant and feel confident on your big day.

9–12 Months Before Your Wedding

Start thinking about your bridal beauty early:

  • Research artists in Toronto: Look at portfolios, reviews, and specialties.

  • Book your artist: Popular luxury bridal artists can book up to a year in advance.

  • Plan your skincare routine: Begin a consistent routine to prep your skin for flawless makeup.

Pro Tip: Early booking guarantees your preferred date and allows for travel arrangements if needed.

6–9 Months Before Your Wedding

This is the perfect time to fine-tune your beauty prep:

  • Schedule skincare treatments: Facials, peels, or other professional treatments can enhance your glow.

  • Decide on hair goals: Consider length, color, and texture for your wedding hairstyle.

  • Start trialing looks for inspiration: Collect Pinterest boards or magazine clippings.

3–4 Months Before Your Wedding

It’s trial season!

  • Book your bridal preview session: Test hair and makeup together to finalize your wedding day look.

  • Adjust products for your skin tone and texture: Ensure the foundation, colors, and finishes are perfect.

  • Confirm hairstyle details: Updo vs. half-up, braids, accessories, and veil placement.

1–2 Months Before Your Wedding

Focus on final preparations and consistency:

  • Maintain skincare routine: Keep your skin hydrated and glowing.

  • Hair treatments as needed: Trim or color touch-ups to ensure healthy hair.

  • Finalize timeline with your artist: Confirm timing for the morning of your wedding day.

Wedding Week

The final countdown:

  • Prep your skin: Stick to gentle products, avoid new treatments.

  • Hair prep: Wash hair according to your stylist’s instructions for optimal styling.

  • Relax & trust your artist: Your hair and makeup team has your vision covered!
