The Goode Beauty Bridal Timeline
Bridal beauty timeline and wedding day getting‑ready guide for Ohio brides
Use this as your organized, step‑by‑step beauty roadmap from
“Yes” to “Just married.”
12 Months Before
-
Begin a consistent, gentle skincare routine; focus on hydration, SPF, and addressing specific concerns with a professional if needed.
-
Set your beauty budget and decide if you want hair, makeup, or both for you and your wedding party.
-
Pro tip: The way you feel about how you look, on one of the biggest days of your life, sets the tone for the day. You will see this in photos for the rest of your life! We've got you girl.
9–6 Months Before
-
Research “wedding hair and makeup in Columbus Ohio” and save artists whose style feels like you.
-
Inquire and reserve your date—top bridal artists often book 9–12 months in advance, especially for Saturdays and popular seasons (May, June, September, October).
4–3 Months Before
-
Schedule your bridal preview (trial) once your dress, accessories, and general wedding vibe are decided.
-
Test details like lashes, lip color, parting, and hair padding so there are zero surprises on the wedding day.
-
Pro tip: Setting up your preview/trial before the 6 week mark is strongly recommended. Details get smaller and decision making gets a little more intense during this time as the wedding starts to get closer. So exciting!!
6–2 Weeks Before
-
Book hair color refresh, trims, brow shaping, and any facials no closer than 5–7 days pre‑wedding to avoid redness or irritation.
-
If you’re considering spray tans, always do a trial first and schedule the final tan 2–3 days before the wedding.
Week Of The Wedding
-
Keep skincare simple, hydrating, and non‑irritating; avoid trying brand‑new active ingredients.
-
Prioritize sleep, water, and balanced meals—you’ll see it in your skin and how your makeup sits all day.
A bridal preview is where your vision and our expertise meet so your wedding morning feels easy.
What we cover together:
-
Your dress, neckline, and veil or hair accessories.
-
How you wear your makeup daily so we protect your comfort zone while elevating your features.
-
Skin sensitivities, allergies, and must‑avoid products, plus photos of inspiration that actually match your hair type and face shape.
What you can expect:
-
A calm, organized, collaborative appointment where you can speak freely and adjust as needed.
-
Photos and notes of your final look so we can replicate it seamlessly on the wedding day.

Wedding Morning – How We Keep It Organized
A smooth wedding morning is about timing and clear communication—not rushing.
What we build for you:
-
A customized hair and makeup schedule for you and your bridal party based on your ceremony time, first look, photo timeline. Oh! and don't forget a moment to breathe.
-
Time buffers for bathroom breaks, getting dressed, and last‑minute adjustments so you never feel behind.
Your role:
-
Arrive with clean, dry hair (unless directed otherwise) and a clean, product‑free face with your regular skincare only.
-
Wear something you feel cozy and confident in—a robe or button‑down makes changing easy and protects your hair and makeup.
Durability is one of the biggest things brides care about.
What professionals use and do:
-
Long‑wear, high‑quality products layered strategically (primer, setting techniques, waterproof formulas) to handle heat, tears, and dancing.
-
Hairstyling techniques and products matched to your hair type and chosen style so it feels secure but comfortable, never crunchy.
What you’ll have:
-
A simple touch‑up routine: blotting papers, pressed or translucent powder, lip color, etc...

Bridal Beauty FAQs
Wedding hair and makeup in Columbus, Ohio
When should I book wedding hair and makeup in Columbus, Ohio?
Most luxury bridal teams recommend booking 9–12 months out,
especially for peak spring and fall dates.
If your date is sooner, it is still worth inquiring—many teams maintain structured waitlists for last‑minute openings.
Do I really need a trial?
Bridal previews significantly reduce day‑of stress, help avoid regrets, and allow you to test comfort, longevity, and exact tones in advance.
They are especially helpful if you are nervous about looking “too different” or if you rarely wear makeup.
What if my skin is breaking out or I have texture?
Texture is normal, and cameras are kinder than you think when makeup is applied with the right techniques.
The goal is healthy, even skin—not a flat, heavy mask—and professional products are designed for real‑life skin, not filtered perfection.
