Although the groom may say he doesnāt need this, having someone do his hair and beard is a luxury experience getting him all ready for the day with a confidence boost from knowing he looks great. He can also get a different hairstyle having something different on his special day if heās feeling up for it!
Bridal party hair and makeup
There is not right or wrong way to go about organising the bridal party hair and makeup, you can ask the bridesmaids to do their own hair and makeup or pay for them to have it done when you do, either way, consider getting ready together and making a thing of it.
