Hey dear Brides-to-be.
¡Your wedding morning is here!—full of butterflies, happy tears, laughter, and a lot of eyeliner. The “getting ready” part of your day is more than just hair and makeup—it’s the emotional prelude to one of the most memorable moments of your life.
This is when your bridesmaids, closest friends, and family start arriving, music starts playing, and your transformation begins.
To help you start this chapter calmly and confidently, we’ve teamed up with the talented pros at Blank Beauty—a bridal hair and makeup team based in Baja California (available throughout Mexico!)—to bring you 10 must-know beauty tips for a relaxed, glowing, and joyful start to your wedding day.
10 Tips for a Stress-Free Getting Ready
1. Don’t skip breakfast: You and your bridesmaids should have something to eat early in the morning. Trust us—once you’re in the makeup chair, it’s hard to grab a bite. Fuel up to stay calm and energized.
2. Your energy sets the tone: Stay present. Stay joyful. This is your day. When you focus on the moment, everything else will fall into place.
3. Stick to your style: Whether you're into soft and natural or full glam, stay true to yourself. Confidence is the most beautiful accessory you’ll wear—and it shows in every photo.
4. Create a beauty-friendly space: Set up a spacious, well-lit area with natural light, outlets, and tables so your beauty team can work comfortably. They’ll bring chairs, kits, and lighting—just give them a proper canvas.

5. Wear something easy to take off: Robes or button-down shirts are your best friend during getting ready. You won’t mess up your makeup or hair when it’s time to change into your dress.
6. Steam clothes the night before: Avoid humidity in the room on wedding morning (it affects your hair and skin!). Steam dresses, robes, and veils the night before to keep the vibes smooth and wrinkle-free.
7. Prep your skin: Use a hydrating face mask the night before, exfoliate your lips, and drink tons of water. Your skin will thank you with a radiant, smooth finish.

8. Hire a team that matches your style: Choose a makeup and hair team whose portfolio you love—and whose style fits yours. Book a trial session to test your look and make adjustments ahead of time.
9. Skincare = flawless makeup: Your makeup can only be as good as the skin beneath it. Build a skincare routine well before the big day focused on hydration and balance for a flawless finish.
10. Enjoy every second: This moment goes by so fast. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Focus on what really matters: love, connection, and feeling beautiful from the inside out.
Taking the time to follow these tips—shared by the amazing team at Blank Beauty—will help you feel more grounded and present, and let you actually enjoy the hours leading up to your walk down the aisle.
