6 Tips for Hot Weather Wedding Hair and Makeup

Beat the heat with these tips to help you tackle hot weather wedding woes and ensure you remain picture-perfect from morning till night.

Getting married is a dream come true, but when it's in the summer months or a hot destination, dealing with the heat can be a challenge, especially when it comes to your hair and makeup. As a professional makeup artist and bridal hair stylist, I understand the importance of staying cool and looking fabulous on your special day. In this blog post, I'll be sharing expert tips and tricks to help you tackle hot weather wedding woes and ensure you remain picture-perfect from morning till night.


1. Use fans to stay cool

Preparing for your wedding in hot weather requires some extra considerations. Use fans to stay cool while getting ready, and have a bridesmaid carry a portable fan to keep you refreshed throughout the day. Keeping a comfortable temperature is key to ensuring your makeup stays flawless.

2: Long-lasting makeup setting spray
When it's hot outside, your makeup needs to withstand the elements. Invest in a high-quality setting spray to lock your makeup in place, ensuring it stays fresh and vibrant even in the heat. This essential product will keep your look intact from the ceremony to the last dance.

3: Refreshing face mists
Combat the heat and keep your skin refreshed with a cooling face mist. This hydrating spray will provide an instant burst of coolness, leaving your skin feeling rejuvenated and helping you stay comfortable throughout the day.

4: Choose the right attire
Your choice of attire plays a significant role in keeping you cool. Opt for cotton pyjamas or dressing gowns instead of silk, as cotton is more breathable and helps regulate body temperature. By choosing the right fabric, you'll feel comfortable and confident all day long.

5: Hairstyle considerations
Humidity can wreak havoc on your hair, but there are ways to combat it. Consider wearing your hair up, for example in boho braids or an elegant updo, as this will keep your neck and back cool while preventing frizz. An updo will also ensure your hairstyle remains intact, no matter how high the temperatures rise.

6: Shine control
A little extra shine is normal in hot weather, but you don't want it overpowering your wedding photos. Keep blotting papers and a blotting powder with you for touch-ups throughout the day. These handy tools will help remove excess shine and keep your face looking fresh and matte in every picture.
