THE PROCESS

THE JOANNA B.

EXPERIENCE

  • 01

    Inquire

    Please share all of the details you have on your big day! My inquiry form will walk you through all required information, you are more than welcome to email me directly as well. I will respond promptly with my service and package options for you to review.

    Most brides inquire 12-18 months in advance.

  • 02

    Contract Services

    Once you are ready to confirm your booking, I will send you a contract for you to sign digitally along with an invoice to process the 25% retainer. Your date can not be held without a signed contract and paid retainer in place.

  • 03

    On Boarding

    You now have access to all of my tips and tricks! You will receive my Bridal Skin Prep Guide to have you start your journey to looking your best for your big day.

  • 04

    Confirmation

    6 months out I will ask to confirm all final services and add ons. Details such as the group size, if an additional artist is needed, rehearsal and touchup services would be confirmed at this time.

  • 05

    Preview Session

    I recommend scheduling your preview session within the 3 month window prior to the wedding. It’s best to wait until we know what all of the details will look like, such as your hair style and accessories.

    Previews are held at my studio in Northfield depending on my availability. Allow 2 hours for the session.

  • 06

    One Month Out

    I will reach out to your planner to curate a schedule we can follow for makeup services and coordinate it with the hair stylist as well.

  • 07

    Two Weeks Out

    You will receive a guide to share with your group on how to prep for their makeup services. Gather inspiration images and skin prep guidance.

  • 08

    Wedding Day

    It’s finally here! I will arrive 30 minutes prior to our start time to setup. And will stick around for 30 minutes at the end of the allowed schedule to provide touchups on everyone that receives makeup services that day. Allowing for this cushion of time assures that we will be running on time or ahead of schedule, for a seamless process for you to start your big day stress free and feeling amazing.

    Happily Ever After

    Goodbyes are hard… although your bridal journey with me has come to an end, our connection will last a lifetime. As your beauty besties I will always be available to guide you through any beauty recommendations or questions you may have.

For the bride who want’s to look and feel like herself.

Does this sound like you?

✓ You rarely wear makeup and want to just slightly enhance your natural features in a very subtle way.

✓ You like makeup but don’t want to look like you are wearing a mask for your wedding.

✓ You are a Sephora VIB with a makeup drawer full of products you have no idea how to use.

i’ll let the numbers do the talking…

“Joanna was such a pleasure to work with…

She nailed my look at my consult and did every adjustment we needed until we got it perfect. And then on my wedding day we made a couple more last minute adjustments that she did so perfectly. She truly understood my vision from the beginning and really listened to me. She had amazing suggestions on how to prep my skin leading up to the wedding, and she really knew the products to use to work with my skin type and texture. Not only is she an amazing makeup artist but a beautiful human! She’s the best to talk to and truly cares for you outside of her makeup chair! You will want total peace of mind that you will get the look you want on your special day, and you’ll be in the best hands with Joanna!”
