Therefore, the wedding stylist has a very important task - to create a harmonious image of the bride and groom. Still, the main job of a stylist is a girl. The master must be prepared for the fact that the selection of the image will take a long time., because the girl wants to look perfect on this day.

The wedding stylist has an irregular work schedule, which means that you will have to get up early, spend several hours in a row at work without interruption, make concessions to the bride and take into account all her wishes. You also need to be prepared for the fact that work may not be available for some time.

The key to success in this profession is the development of your own portfolio. - examples of past work on creating the image of the bride. At this stage, the payment may be very low, or it may not be at all. Usually young stylists announce the search for models to practice on, charging a nominal fee.

The list of duties of a wedding stylist depends on the degree of his qualifications, in addition, he may have a narrow or wide profile of work. Let's take a closer look at these details.

One of the main parts of a bride's look is wedding makeup. It should be special in order to emphasize the beauty of the girl and hide her minor flaws. But in order for the make-up to be in harmony with the general appearance of the bride, you need to take into account the style and color of the selected dress, the general stylistic orientation of the event, the look of the groom and other small accessories in the images.

In addition, if you already have ready-made works that the bride liked, then you should warn her that this makeup may not suit her or look different, because each has individual facial features. You also need to take into account the type of the bride's skin (oily, dry, problematic, normal or combination), hair color, eyes, appearance color type, as well as pigmentation (skin color, freckles, moles, etc.), and in accordance with this select cosmetics and makeup shades.

Just like make-up, the hairstyle should be chosen in accordance with the chosen dress and accessories to it. For example, if you have chosen a light, airy dress, then a hairstyle that is too heavy and overflowing with details will not go with it. It is better to choose a lighter and more romantic styling.

The quality and type of hairstyle largely depends on the color of the hair, its condition and type. For red-haired girls and brunettes, completely different styling is selected.

As we have seen, even a narrow profile wedding stylist must have the skills of a hairdresser and make-up artist. This means that a generalist specialist has much more functions and responsibilities.

The stylist selects the details (general style of the image, dress, accessories, makeup, hairstyle, shoes) and composes a general look from them, offers the bride several options, and together they choose the most suitable one. After that, the specialist helps the bride to choose a dress, visiting wedding salons with her. He can also offer the option of renting or personal tailoring (in this case, the stylist makes a drawing of the dress himself).

In addition, the master can create the image of the groom so that he and the bride look harmonious.
