Bridal Timeline: When to Book Trial, Mehendi & Facial

28 Jul 2026 Β· 5 min Β· Ananya Kulkarni on a 30-day countdown that saves photographs

Last-week panic shows on skin. Spread it over 30 days β€” every ritual gets a buffer so redness settles before the lens.

The 30-day order

  • Day 30–21: Cut & colour (not the week of). Globale or balayage needs 3 weeks to soften.
  • Day 14–10: HydraGlow facial β€” not the week of, to avoid purging near event.
  • Day 14–7: Trial β€” daylight + tungsten photos, drape with jewellery, decide HD vs airbrush.
  • Day 3–2: Mehendi (hands) β€” 6–8 hrs paste, peel not wash, darkens over 24–48 hrs.
  • Day 1: Sleep, light meal, touch-up kit packed. We arrive 3 hrs before muhurtham.

What we pack day-of

Lip mix, blots, pins, powder, dupatta tape and a small attar β€” not the whole kit, just your kit. You keep it after send-off.

We group family glam together so no one waits in base. Mothers and sisters finish before bride’s final lip.
