Planning a wedding is exciting… and let’s be honest, a little overwhelming. Between dresses, venues, and guest lists, it’s easy to forget about you — until suddenly the big day is right around the corner.

At Grace Hair and Beauty Salon, we’ve had the privilege of caring for many Brisbane brides across our locations, and one thing is always true: the most relaxed brides are the ones who planned their beauty timeline early.

This simple bridal hair and beauty checklist will help you feel confident, glowing, and stress-free on your wedding day.

6–12 Months Before the Wedding: Start Your Skin & Hair Journey

This is the perfect time to begin preparing not changing everything overnight, but creating a plan.

Book Your Hair & Makeup Trial

Your trial is where the magic begins. It’s your chance to explore styles, textures, and looks that complement your dress, face shape, and wedding vibe.

1) Decide on bridal hair style
2)Test makeup looks for longevity
3) Build trust with your stylist

Tip: Bring photos of your dress and accessories for best results.

Begin Regular Facials

Healthy, glowing skin doesn’t happen in one appointment. Starting facials early allows your skin to gradually improve  so it looks effortless on the day.

Recommended:

• Monthly customised facials
• Gentle treatments tailored to your skin type

Brisbane’s climate can be harsh on skin, so professional care makes a real difference.

3–6 Months Before: Perfect the Details

This stage is all about refinement and consistency.

Hair Colour & Treatments

Now’s the time to finalise your hair colour.

1) Balayage, highlights, or full colour
2) Keratin or smoothing treatments (if needed)
3) Regular trims to keep hair healthy

Avoid last-minute colour changes  consistency is key.

Brows & Lashes

Well-shaped brows and defined lashes frame your face beautifully.

Consider:

• Brow shaping or tinting
• Lash lifts or extensions

Start early so everything looks natural and familiar by your wedding day.

1 Month Before: Lock in the Glow

This is when everything starts coming together.

Final Facial

Your last facial should be gentle and hydrating, not aggressive. This keeps skin calm, plump, and makeup-ready.

Nails & Hands

Don’t forget your hands they’ll be in a lot of photos!

Plan:

• Gel or classic manicure
• Neutral or soft bridal tones
• Cuticle care and hand treatments

1 Week Before: Keep It Calm & Simple

This week is about maintenance, not experimentation.

1) Light brow tidy
2) Lash refresh
3) Relaxing scalp or massage treatment

Most importantly  rest, hydrate, and breathe.

The Day Before: Pamper & Unwind

The night before your wedding should feel peaceful, not rushed.

We recommend:

• Blow-dry or hair prep appointment
• Relaxing facial massage
• Early night and plenty of water
