I've often been asked why bridal services are higher then the bridal party.
There are a number of reasons the beauty services for brides are higher in price. Many think "you're providing the same service" as the bridal party so why the price difference?
The truth is, it is NOT the same service. Simply put ... as a Bride, YOU are the priority and the reason we do what we do!
Communication and Planning:
From the moment you reach out to our team for beauty services, there is a lot of behind the scenes things that take place. Our desire is to give you a stress free beauty experience so you can sit back and enjoy your wedding day prep and know that you don't have to worry about anything.
Phone calls, Zoom meeting, emails, and texts to communicate the vision for your wedding day; staffing, scheduling, and coordinating with event planners and photographers to set a schedule to name a few of the behind the scenes planning that goes on to make your day perfect!
Experience:
Our team has over 100 years of combined experience. We've spent years in the industry, perfecting our craft, working with many of the leading industry professionals to provide you the very best service for your wedding day.
As professionals, continuing education to learn more and improve our skillset, investing in tools we believe work best, purchasing the best products and replacing them often to ensure they are always clean, sterile, and safe are just some of the things that we do to provide the very best service.
Luxury Service:
Our team eliminates the responsibility and stress associated with travelling to different venues for your hair and makeup. This luxury service is something we are happy to do! We are passionate about making your day amazing!
The day of your wedding already bears a lot of pressure and worrying about your hair and makeup should not be one of them. Our team is professional, on schedule, and goes out of our way to pamper you and your bridal party.
As the priority, additional time is alotted for your beauty to ensure your look is perfect.
We work with your photographers and videographers for staged and real time imagery to memorialize the "getting ready" portion of your day; often running around, moving our tools and being staged for the perfect shots, all while making YOU look and feel your very best. Photos are forever and you don't want your look to be anything less than perfection.
To beautifully sum up the why behind the price tag: your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. Would you want anything less then the very best preparing for it? Your beauty team {and other wedding professionals} shoulder important responsibilites to make your day stress free, simple, and wonderfully memorable - just for you.

2020! What a ride! Many of us have had our share of challenges and faced things we never thought we'd have to this past year. Joblessness, financial strains, illness, loss, fear, anger, frustration. Yes, the year was full of ups and downs and every emotion possible. But we made it! We got through and we got through stronger and better!
This was an especially challenging year for the event industry - namely, our brides. Weddings were rescheduled or cancelled and left our beauties scrambling to make alternative plans for their happily ever after. As a superior customer service team, all of us at BCH were sensitive to the needs {and emotions} of our brides and were understanding and flexible with their needs.
Donning our masks, continuing {and increasing} our sanitary practices, and being super diligent with hand sanitizer to the point our hands might crack, we styled and glammed our brides and their tribes with the same enthusiasm and passion you've come to expect from our team. We brushed up on our patience skills and learned how to truly be flexible.
We learned the importance of family and time well spent, as well as taking better care of ourselves to stay ahead of the curve.
Despite the challenges, we have much to be thankful for. Although the spring season was a wash when it came to weddings and events, our team still pampered beauties for over 130 weddings and events! Thank you for allowing us to share your day and celebrate with you! With many talented teams to choose from, it is truly an honor to have been given the opportunity!
Many of our brides celebrated their nuptials despite changes with a micro wedding with family and their closest friends. They were resilient and decided that despite the restrictions and craziness surrounding them, they would "got married anyway" and we celebrated with them!
Collaborations
We had the opportunity to collaborate with some of the industries finest professionals, including a collaboration with Our Dream Wedding Expo for West Palm Beach Bridal Events in 2020 & those in 2021 - we hope to see you there! We have the honor of pampering some mommas-to-be and brand new mommas through a partnership with Aimee Nelson Photography.

Your wedding is definitely a day you want to look your best. Let's face it - you are the center of attention, you are the heart of most photos and snap shots and you and your party will be memorialized in professional photos for years to come. Day-of beauty starts long before the day you tie the knot. Check out our "Guide to your Day-of Beauty", here for more tips.
A hair and makeup trial is an important step to ensure you get the look you've dreamed of for your wedding day. Your artists will work with you to achieve the perfect look and will make recommendations to give you the result you're looking for. You want to look your absolute best and things like improving your skin or growing out your hair take time!
The day of your wedding is scheduled nearly down to the moment you wake up. Everyone, including your hair and makeup team are on a schedule to be sure everything runs flawlessly and with as little stress as possible for you - our bride. While the entire pampering process is meant to be a good time creating memories and enjoying your bride tribe, it is often overlooked as being a time that must stick to a schedule. Small things that are overlooked can add precious moments to a {sometimes tight} schedule.
When planning the beauty services for your bridal party, it is imperative to include the additional services desired and take the advice of your artists for day-of prep and communicating this to those in your party is important. Even small things add time that may not be included in the schedule and can cause unnecessary stress. To help make the day go smooth, you and your bridal party are asked to arrive with a clean, moisturized face and unless a blow out is requested, everyone should have completely dry hair.
Your artists will have advised what, if any, product to add or elimate in preparation of your day-of beauty. For example, excess oils added to your locks may keep the frizzies down but will also inhibit curls with staying power; damp hair can add 15 minutes or more to the schedule when your designer has to add a blow dry to the style, extension application add an additional 20-30 minutes, lashes another 10-15 minutes. These services are available of course, but please let your artists know ahead of time.
Here is a quick guide to preparing for the day's beauty :
Thin hair: Wash, apply a volumizing mousse and dry hair the day before the wedding.
Frizzy hair: Wash the day before, apply a defrizzing product and sleep with your hair braided or wrapped.
Oily hair: Wash hair the morning of your wedding, dry completely and add an oil absorbing dry shampoo.
Curly hair: Some styles require that hair be straightened, adding time to the schedule, please advise us ahead of time if anyone in the party has curly hair and the style desired.
Thick hair: Wash and dry the day before. If hair is still damp in the morning, run a dryer through to ensure it is completely dry prior to sitting in the stylist's chair.
Face prep: Wash and moisturize your face the morning of your wedding. For extremely dry skin, add a moisturizing serum or beauty oil and let your skin drink it in.
Lips: Exfoliate lips with a sugar scrub or similar product or using a washcloth, apply lip balm or serum before bed. Reapply lip balm or serum in the morning.
Ultimately, your beauty team is here to help you look and feel your best. Never hesitate to speak with your artists if you have any questions or concerns. Until then, enjoy the little things and all the extra pampering you get when getting ready for your happily ever after!
Cheers to the best YOU you can be!
