9 to 12 months out: book the artist
For a Saturday wedding from October to April, the best-known Adelaide artists are reserved close to a year ahead. As soon as your date and venue are locked, start matching with artists, because the calendar, not the budget, is usually the constraint.
Mid-week or off-peak dates give you more room, and you can often secure an artist closer in.
4 to 8 weeks out: the trial
Hold your trial once the dress is chosen and your hair is at wedding length, so the look you approve matches the day. Earlier than that and your hair or colour may still change.
Let us match you with the right people
Tell us your date and bridal party size and we'll match you with up to 3 vetted Adelaide hair and makeup artists. Free, no obligation.

Confirm the start time, the getting-ready address, the party size and the running order. For a large party or an early ceremony, this is where a second artist earns its place.
It is also a good moment to line up the rest of your morning, like your Adelaide wedding florist, so the bouquet arrives while hair and makeup is still in progress for the photos.
