Our Favorites

We recommend booking your bridal hair and makeup services 6–12 months in advance, especially for peak wedding season. Makeup and Hair by Alina Karaman is an award-winning team frequently booked for popular dates, so securing your wedding day early ensures availability for both the bride and bridal party. 

We recommend scheduling your bridal hair and makeup trial 3–6 months before your wedding day. This timeline allows enough time to refine your vision, coordinate with your dress and overall wedding style, and make any adjustments, if needed. Bridal trials help ensure a flawless, stress-free experience on your wedding day, but we are able to book the wedding without having the prior trial as well. Please let us know if you are not able to meet us for a trial run, and we will arrange the day of the wedding scheduling accordingly, adding more time for your service.
