How many hair & makeup artists do you bring for my big day?
It all depends on what you need. Aurelia will work with you to ensure she understands the itinerary for your entire day.
Two of the most important things we take into account before building your team are:

- The final amount of artists will be determined 2-3 weeks prior to your wedding while finalizing all of the details.
Do you offer trials?
Yes, Aurelia offers wedding hair & makeup trials, as well as trials for other events.
How long do trials take?
Trials take anywhere between 2 hours and 3.5 hours.
Will my makeup last from early morning until the late evening?

Your makeup will last throughout the day. Guaranteed.
Can I get a spray tan before the big day to add a nice glow to my skin?
Yes, if you would like to have a spray tan for your big day that is absolutely okay.
However, Aurelia does not recommend spraying your face if you do decide to get a spray tan on the rest of your body.
Do you provide hair extensions for the trial & event?
No, I do not provide hair extensions. However, I will provide you with suggestions of which brands will work best for you.
Will you stay at my wedding to put on my veil?
Yes! I stay until you are ready to put on your veil. At that time, I will do final touch-ups before you head out the door.
Will you come to the venue to do touch-ups?
Yes, Aurelia will come to your venue for touch-ups for an additional cost. Please speak with Aurelia in advance of your wedding or event if you would like her to be at your venue.
Do you provide a schedule for the day of my wedding?
Yes! Aurelia believes it’s important that you go into your wedding day knowing everything will go smoothly.
Aurelia will be super organized and work with you closely to finalize all the details for the morning of your wedding.
How should I prepare my skin for the big day?
Aurelia will provide recommendations for skincare regiments to begin as early as one year prior to your big day.
Remember, no two brides are the same. So, Aurelia will tailor her recommendations for your specific skin type and goals. However, here are a few tips to get you started:
- Cleanse Your Skin Daily: As part of your morning routine, cleanse your skin with a fragrance-free product that also nourishes your skin with hyaluronic acid to make it plump and glowing.
- Use Water Based Serum: After you cleanse your skin use a water-based hydrating serum.
- Moisturize: After you apply your serum, lock in the benefits with a moisturizer.
- Use a Primer: Finish your pre-makeup routine with primer. Brides with dry skin can opt for a hydrating primer, while those with oily skin should consider a mattifying serum or anti-shine primer.
- Before Your Wedding: Aurelia also recommends a Hydrafacial with Dermaplaning done by a professional esthetician. Typically, Aurelia recommends this is done 2-5 days prior to your wedding day for a smoother makeup application. This will exfoliate any dead skin and remove vellus hair on your face. It’s the best way to ensure a glowing, flawless makeup application.
