How Soon to Book Your Wedding Before it’s Too Late.

With so many things to put together for your wedding it can be hard to know where to start, and even more importantly, how soon to book your wedding. We have all read articles putting vendors in order of importance, but to be completely honest, it’s ALL important. Each vendor brings an essential piece of the puzzle that will make your dream wedding come true. How soon to book your wedding is just as important as the what and where. First things first, have you picked a specialty date? You may have not even realized you have chosen one, but dates such as 11/11 or 18/18 will book faster than others because of their uniqueness. If your date falls into this category, it’s even more important to find your hair and makeup stylist, venue, DJ, photographer, etc sooner then you think. Some Brides will reserve dates years in advance to make sure they can have the perfect anniversary date for years to come. When it comes to Bridal Hair and Makeup, between 6 months and a year is the average.

Something to keep in mind is while there could be many salons in your area or the area your wedding is, not all stylists are comfortable with Wedding Hair and finding the one for you may take some time. You need to account for the time it can take to collaborate with your bridesmaids to figure out the specific services each person will want. Knowing the budget of your bridesmaids is another very helpful factor when gathering information and could definitely help narrow down the amount of stylists you have to choose from.

Other questions to add to your list while searching for a stylists is how far do they usually book out? Or, do you have any inquires for this day already? Just like with specialty dates, highly sought after vendors will book up faster than others.

While the question of how soon to book your wedding services can be tricky to answer and specific to your circumstance, it’s always safer to do it sooner rather than later. This will give you more options and time to finalize with vendors that fit not only your style and vision, but your budget as well.
