A six-month plan for skin, hair, trials and rentals — without the panic.
Start with the calendar
List every function and the light it happens in: a morning haldi, an afternoon ceremony, a night reception. Each needs a slightly different base and hairstyle.
Shortlist artists by portfolio
Look for brides with your skin tone, photographed in both daylight and flash. Save three artists and compare their packages side by side.
Book trials early
A trial three to four months out leaves room to change direction. Bring your outfit swatch and jewellery.
Rent with a buffer
Confirm rental dates two days either side of the function so fittings and alterations are not rushed.
