For brides
The last twenty-eight days, done well.
The wedding industry will tell you to start your skin twelve months out. They are not wrong, and they are not right. Twelve months of quarterly facials and a thoughtful retinoid is a beautiful long arc, and if you're standing here a year from your day, by all means begin. But the most important work — the visible, measurable, photographs-differently work — happens in the final twenty-eight days. That window is what we do. That window is the entire studio.
We are not your only beauty decision. We are not replacing your dermatologist, your makeup artist, or your hairstylist. We are the small, deliberate hand on your skin in the four weeks where most brides freelance and most regrets are made. We coordinate with the rest of your team, we hard-stop the things that should not happen close to a wedding, and we deliver you to the morning of your day looking exactly like the version of yourself you've been picturing.
When to start
Two answers, both honest.
The ideal: book your protocol so day twenty-eight lands on the morning of your wedding. We work backward from there. Most brides book the Silver tier eight to twelve weeks out and we hold the studio dates.
The honest: a great many brides do not start on time. The single most common phrase in bridal skincare regret content is I wish I'd started sooner. If your wedding is in three weeks, this is what Bronze was built for. We will not shame you for the runway you have. We will give you the most honest version of the work that fits inside it, and we will tell you plainly what we cannot accomplish in the time we have. That conversation is part of the package.
For your bridal party
A quiet ninety minutes, up to four guests.
The bridal-party glow event is a quiet ninety minutes in the studio with up to four of your people, somewhere in week three or four. Treatments are tailored to each guest's skin — there is no “bridesmaid facial,” because there is no such thing as one face. We send a short skin questionnaire ahead of time, plan accordingly, and serve cold drinks and a soft playlist. Photos happen if the group wants them. They are usually wanted.
If your group is larger than four, we'll stagger two morning sessions and make a longer event of it. We'll only do this if we can do it well.
How we work with your other vendors
The team behind the morning.
Your photographer
We don't book peels in the seventy-two hours before an engagement shoot. If your photographer has a preferred shot list with close-ups, we'll know about it. The point of a photographer is to capture you, and the point of us is to make sure what they capture is what you wanted them to.
Your makeup artist
We coordinate with your MUA on her preferred prep — moisturiser weight, primer compatibility, any products that need to leave your routine forty-eight hours out. If she has a trial scheduled inside the buffer window, we adjust the protocol around it. The day-of touch-up happens before she arrives, never during.
Your hairstylist
Heat tools, Olaplex, smoothing treatments — we know the timelines and we'll hold the line on what touches your skin within forty-eight hours of the day.
Day-of touch-up
Thirty minutes. Then breathing room.
Thirty minutes in the studio, scheduled to land before your makeup artist's start time. A cool compress to take the morning out of your face. A gentle cleanse. A hydration boost. A primer made for the foundation we know you're wearing. You leave with a face ready to be photographed and a calm hour to put on a robe and drink a coffee. That's the entire appointment. It's also the most quietly important one.
What we never do close to the wedding
The hard stops are the reason brides book us.
- —No microneedling, RF, BBL, or medium peels within fourteen days of the day
- —No filler within the program window — there's a six-to-eight-week buffer for a reason
- —No first-time products inside the final fourteen days, ever
- —No experiments, no “let's just try,” no last-minute device demos
- —No appointment we are not certain we can recover from in time
These are not policies we apologise for. They are the reason brides book us.
