Mother of bride/ mother of groom

Emily, on May 1, 2018 at 6:33 PM Posted in Hair and Makeup 1 16
Is your mother and/ or mother of the groom getting in on the hair and makeup ? Does it mess up your timeline unnecessarily?

    No, neither of them wanted to, which does make my timeline easier to manage. I would have made it work though if they wanted it.

    Both are.. not really because we have two hair dressers coming since so many people wanted to get it done.

    Ours are. They're not in the way because we have a small wedding party and they are very low maintenance and asked for simple styles.

    I will probably have my mom get her hair and makeup done if she would like just so it doesn't get messed up so easily with her crying. But my MIL I will not she doesn't like me or support our decision to get married

    My FMIL wanted to, but my mom didn't. We're going to the salon though so I think that also helps (and getting married on a Monday so all the staff is already there).

    My mother did and it didn’t mess up my timeline at all because we’d planned for it and allowed time for her to be included. MIL arranged her own (and I think my SIL went with her as well).

    My FMIL is getting ready in her hometown and will drive down in time for pictures. My mom will get ready with us but she’s doing her own hair. She has up to 45 minutes for makeup with my makeup artist. I don’t think it will affect the timeline too badly since there are only 4 of us getting hair and/or makeup services. I’m not sure if my HMUA will be working solo or with an assistant.

    Both my mother and my MIL were included in the count I gave my HMUA so nothing was messed with. I already had 7 bridesmaids plus me and I even threw in an aunt who was staying with us from out of the country. My HMUA brought a team (total of 4) and everyone was done on time.

    Both of them are at my insistence since I want the makeup to be consistent through out the bridal party. And it is some what screwing it up it adds 2 people which puts me and my mom starting at 645 / 745 and my mother in law finishing at 230. 30 minutes before I need her at the venue.

    My mom is, mother of the groom is not. We planned accordingly so that our timeline fits for everyone to get their hair done in a timely manner.

    I offered but they both were very insistent in their refusal. My mom never wears makeup and my fmil doesn’t want anyone else touching her. It’s only supposed to be nice for them so I certainly wasn’t going to force the issue

    My mom is having her hair and makeup done with me and my bridesmaids, FMIL isn’t getting ready with us so she’s on her own. It’s not affecting our timeline at all for my mom to have hers done! Only her, my MOH (sister) and I are getting both hair and makeup done. The other 2 bridesmaids are doing their own makeup but getting their hair done with us. The HMUA will be traveling to us, on-site at the venue where our hotel room is for us to get ready. I blocked enough time for us all to have hair and/or makeup done. You can ask your HMUA how long it would take for a certain amount of people so you know what times to plan other things around!

    Mine are, and my FH's stepmother. I just planned for it, 45 minutes per person hair and makeup. We are arriving at 11:00, ready by 4:00. Two stylists. It shouldn't change the timeline if you plan for their hair and makeup.
