depends where you’re located

i’ve heard higher but you can also definitely get cheaper and still great . so yes it’s on the expensive side but not unheard of for DC

Is this just for the bride?

Yes

As someone based in NY I think yes

I used a DC based stylist and her price was about 600 for both. She also did the mothers and bridesmaid. In my experience of looking at different vendors, she had the most reasonable prices and she had a team so there was flexibility in timing. If you only want hair and makeup for the bride, I found that most people charged more to make it worth their time to only do one person. Happy to share the name of the person I used in DM

Depends on your location. High for where I am ( Houston- so big city but not HCOL, but definitely HCOW lol) For that price I would see If I could negotiate a trial first or at least talk to a bunch of clients. Were they happy, did they show up on time. Some I swear everyone one looks gorgeous on their site, but way too much alike. I want to be gorgeous, but I do want to recognize myself in the photos.

Are they going to do BM? if so, what is the per person cost? They coming to your venue or do you have to go to their salon? Does that include travel fee? How far ahead do they do hair and makeup. Do they give you a touch up palette? If you do first look, are they there to fix you if you cry?

We’re having an Indian wedding on a Sunday with ceremony in the morning, followed by lunch, and then cocktail hour + reception.

Given that the wedding starts early, we will have guests (~30) flying in the day before. What is the expectation in terms of arranging dinner for them? We’re trying to avoid having an additional event Saturday night - any idea on if these guests would need to have food arranged for them by us and what that could look like on a cost effective budget.

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!
