Getting ready with your bridal party is one of the most joyful parts of a wedding day—laughter, champagne, and shared excitement. In Los Cabos, where many guests travel in and venues spread out across beaches or resorts, coordination takes extra planning. We’ve helped dozens of groups navigate this successfully, turning potential chaos into a seamless, memorable morning. Here’s a step-by-step guide based on what works best here.
Step 1: Establish a Clear Vision Early Months before the wedding, share a cohesive look with your party. Use mood boards (Pinterest or Canva) to show hair (e.g., soft waves or updos) and makeup (natural glow or defined features). This prevents mismatched expectations. For Los Cabos, lean toward styles that handle humidity and breeze—updos, half-ups, or loose waves with hold.
Step 2: Account for Travel and Timing Destination weddings mean jet lag and varying arrival times. Schedule the glam session to start 4–6 hours before the ceremony, giving buffer for delays. If guests are spread across hotels, opt for on-location service—our team travels to villas or resorts to keep everything in one place.
Step 3: Adapt to Los Cabos Weather Humidity and sun are constants. For hair, prioritize secure styles: braids, buns, or pinned waves resist frizz. Use texturizing sprays for grip. Makeup-wise, choose long-wear, waterproof products—setting spray is essential. We always do skin prep first (hydrating masks) to combat dryness from flights or AC.
Step 4: Create a Realistic Timeline A group of 6–10 needs 4–6 hours. Start with the bride (1.5–2 hours), then bridesmaids (45–60 min each), and finish with family or juniors (30 min). Assign helpers for robes, jewelry, or drinks to keep energy high.
Step 5: Include Add-Ons and Contingencies Offer lashes, airbrush for longevity, or touch-up kits. Have a backup plan if someone has skin sensitivities—patch tests during trials help. Encourage open communication so everyone feels included.
Step 6: Make It Fun and Stress-Free Play music, serve mimosas, and treat prep as bonding time. Photos of the getting-ready moment become treasured memories.
With the right plan, your bridal party will look cohesive and feel pampered. See how we handle groups on our about page or inquire at bookings.
