Stress-free Wedding Planning

Wedding makeup artist selection for your special day can be crucial to your overall appearance and confidence. While the availability, cost, and experience are important factors to consider, there are some deal-breaking questions and red flags you should also keep in mind.

This podcast is for engaged couples who are stressed out with wedding planning and family expectations but want a fun wedding day.

Our guest is Lauren Simpson from LA Page Makeup and EMERGE Cosmetics

Firstly, Lauren explains that you should ask about the products that the makeup artist will be using. Furthermore, ensure that they are high-quality and suitable for your skin and hair type. If they cannot provide you with a clear answer or seem hesitant, it may be a red flag.

Secondly, it is important to ask for references or a portfolio of their previous work. If they are unwilling to share this information or do not have any examples of their work, it may be a sign that the makeup artist lacks experience or are not confident in their abilities.

Utmost, trust your gut! If you have any doubts or concerns about the makeup artist, it is better to err on the side of caution and choose someone else. Obviously, it's your big day, and you deserve to feel confident and comfortable with your choices.

Wedding season is here and scams associated with weddings are almost as common as bad bridesmaid dresses. What are the top 3 wedding scams to look out for? What are the red flags?

This is a new podcast for engaged couples who are stressed out with wedding planning and family expectations but want a fun wedding day.

Common wedding scams include vendors that offer too-good-to-be-true deals, charge hidden fees, or ask for full payment before the wedding.

Also, be cautious and look out for red flags, such as vendors that avoid meeting in person or are not willing to put their agreement in writing.

Shopping locally is key, as local vendors know the location and the facility better, and they are less likely to use the cheapest vendors, who may not be the best or most reliable.

By the time this edition is over, you'll know how to spot a wedding scam and understand how to keep your hard-earned money in YOUR pocket.

Your wedding ceremony is ripe for mistakes, such as the officiant not asking guests to be seated or the officiant photobombing the first kiss.

Firstly, we recommend doing a rehearsal ceremony, which is typically done two or three days before the wedding, to iron out any issues that you may have.

It's best to avoid having your ceremony on any religious holiday since they are sacred to people and you don't want to risk alienating them.

*** Join us in the Stress-free Wedding Planning Facebook group

Secondly, if you are having a friend or family member get ordained online to do your ceremony make sure they are aware of the wedding protocol and what legal requirements are needed.

Another common ceremony mistake is not ensuring that the wedding rings are ready when the officiant looks to the best man or maid of honor for them. Also, not having a microphone check before the ceremony starts. All of these steps are necessary to ensure a smooth and successful ceremony.
