If you are planning a destination wedding in the Cancun area but want a flawless, long-lasting bridal look, this blog has got you covered!!

Where to Stand for a Long-Lasting Bridal Look?

The Riviera Maya can be beautiful, but sometimes the weather throws us curveballs with humidity and wind. This is especially important to consider when you’ll be outdoors or by the beach for your ceremony and photos (read, most of the time).

If you’re planning to wear your hair down or with some wisps framing your face, consider the wind direction when choosing your ceremony location. Standing strategically at the arch or during pictures can make a big difference.

Most of your wedding photos will be taken during the ceremony, so you want to avoid windblown hair covering your face and the emotions of the day.

Several apps like Windguru can help you predict wind patterns. You can also discuss options with your wedding planner during the rehearsal or even on the wedding morning.

By planning ahead, you can ensure your photos capture the beauty of the day, your look, and the love in your eyes, not a flyaway hairstyle!

How to Hug and Be Hugged with a Long-Lasting Bridal Look

Tropical humidity and friction can affect your hairstyle, especially during those heartwarming wedding hugs. To ensure your beautiful style stays put all day, here are some pro tips:

We recommend our brides to avoid touching their hair too much after it’s been styled professionally. Every touch can loosen the style.

If you’re rocking a loose style or low bun, be extra cautious during hugs. Hair trapped at the neck can lead to unwanted frizz and flyaways.

Encourage loved ones to hug you by the arms, shoulders, or hips. To avoid accidental hair mishaps, you can also gently guide their arms when embracing, keeping them away from your hairstyle.

The Veil’s Perfect Place

Planning some fun pre-ceremony pajama pictures? While it’s a great way to capture memories, your hair and makeup artist may be finished by the time you get dressed. This means you might need to place your veil yourself before the ceremony. Don’t worry, informed brides like you can easily handle this!

The placement of your wedding veil actually depends on the hairstyle you choose. Your hair and makeup artist will show you exactly where to position the veil comb and how to secure it during your getting-ready session. They can even show a trusted family member how to do this for you, just in case.

Our glam squad can also demonstrate how to gently remove the veil after the ceremony, ensuring your hairstyle stays perfect for the rest of the celebration.

Secret Stash in Your Bouquet

For our emotional brides, here’s a trick: Tuck a few cotton swabs (Q-Tips) and some blotting papers discreetly within your bouquet. This way, you have everything you need to dab away tears and prevent mascara smudging, and control shine throughout the evening to maintain a fresh and matte finish.
