Invoice templates for bridal hair and makeup stylists billing wedding clients for trials, wedding day services, and bridal party packages.
A bridal stylist invoice is issued by a wedding hair and makeup specialist to a bride or wedding organiser for professional styling services on the wedding day and for pre-wedding trial sessions. Bridal stylists may specialise in hair, makeup, or both, and typically work at the wedding venue or hotel where the bridal party is getting ready. Bridal styling is one of the most in-demand and highest-value sectors in the UK beauty industry. A professional bridal stylist's reputation is built through referrals, photography portfolio, and wedding platform reviews. Brides often book their stylist 12 to 18 months in advance, making secure deposit policies essential. Typical bridal packages cover the bride, bridesmaids, mother of the bride, and flower girls. Pricing is per person per service, with a higher rate for the bride and a group rate for the bridal party. Travel to the venue is typically charged separately.
| Service | Typical Rate | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Bridal hair and makeup (wedding day) | 450 | appointment |
| Bridesmaid hair and makeup | 150 | person |
| Hair and makeup trial (bride) | 200 | session |
| Mother of bride hair and makeup | 150 | person |
| Travel to wedding venue | 0.45 | mile |
| Early morning start surcharge (before 7am) | 75 | booking |
Issue a formal booking confirmation when the bride pays her deposit. Include the wedding date, venue, services booked, deposit amount paid, and the balance payment due date. Issue the balance invoice 4-6 weeks before the wedding, not on the day. Collecting payment on the wedding morning adds stress for both stylist and client. Most bridal stylists require full payment 2-4 weeks before the wedding date. List every person and service separately on the invoice. This helps the bride manage her budget and makes it easy to add or remove people if the bridal party size changes. Travel to the venue should be confirmed with the client in advance. For weddings more than 60-90 minutes from your base, consider whether accommodation is necessary and factor this cost into your pricing.
