Bridal Makeup… in most cases, its a beautiful experience. In other cases, it is stressful. In all cases; with all the planning, and all the spending, by the time the wedding day comes, everyone is just ready for the production to just be done and start living life as husband and wife or wife and wife. I’ve seen all sides!

A wedding takes a lot of planning and communication, it is indeed a production; one of the biggest days of your life. With all that goes into planning, tensions can be high and stress and anxiety may set in… but what happens when you’ve made all the deposits and/or paid in full and you have to ask, “What happens if I have to cancel the wedding?”

Breathe. I know (in most cases), it took a lot to come to this question. There are some Brides that are quick to shut things down; but make sure you have really thought it all through, EVERYTHING! This is a big decision; make sure you are happy with the decision (even if its a tough one or a no brainer)!

So here’s some tips to consider if you’re considering calling off the wedding when it comes to your vendors (or if you want to be sure to know these answers before you enter into legally binding agreements).

During the planning:

1. Ask what the policies are if you have to cancel? Remember, all weddings aren’t cancelled because of relationship issues. Many weddings had to be cancelled due to the pandemic, family emergencies arise, etc. Make sure you know what options you have before signing a contract. Can date be transferred? Are payments non-refundable? Also, ask what the policies are if the vendor needs to cancel?
2. Make sure that you are sure that you want to go through with the wedding. Life happens. Is this the person that you will be with, for the very best best, and the very absolute worst.

After you’ve signed contracts and paid deposits (or paid in full):

Most times your options are slim to none. Depending on how long you have been planning, most vendors have been holding your date for 6 months or more. For NiSi’s Eyes and many others, we are blocking people left and right because you are locked in.

So when it comes to NiSi’s Eyes and any other vendor, READ YOUR CONTRACT! In some cases, vendors will try to work with you (more so on the side of rescheduling and/or transferring services to another date). NiSi’s tries to work with you but there are no refunds. However, keep this in mind: we have held this date, we have booked additional staff, we may have paid for flights and/or hotel accommodations, bought products/tools specific to your wedding and whomever is involved, and the list goes on. Should you cancel your wedding festivities, the blow back hits us as well. As much as we love what we do in providing a service, we also have to consider how your cancellation will affect our business… because at the end of the day, IT IS A BUSINESS!

Considering booking NiSi’s Eyes for your wedding festivities? Here’s my semi-detailed process:

1. Complete bridal questionnaire
2. Review the proposal that you receive via email
3. Schedule your Girl Chat (video consultation)
4. Once we’ve talked and gone over next steps, you’ll receive an email to schedule your bridal beauty preview and submit payment for your appointment (usually within 1-6 months of the wedding date).
5. Once you’ve done your bridal beauty preview, you’ll receive a questionnaire so you feel comfortable providing feedback.
6. If you enjoyed your experience, let me know on the questionnaire and I’ll forward the contract to you. At that time, the signed contract and 50% of total balance is due along with your headcount for those receiving services. Once that happens, you are locked in on my calendar.
7. Communcaition continues throughout the process. Because I know things happen, a final headcount is due 60 days prior to the wedding. Each artist is designated a certain number of services.  If an additional artist is necessary, you must meet the minimum, per artist.  You are welcome to add services to your contract or if you don’t have the people, you can pay the difference to reach that minimum on your invoice. I reach out to your bridal squad 45 days prior to the wedding to discuss skincare concerns/ allergies.
8. Final payment is due 2 weeks prior to your wedding. NO EXCEPTIONS!
9. We show up for wedding day and help you feel comfortably flawless.
10. A week or so, after your wedding; we’ll email you for feedback. A month after you’ve been married, we’ll touch base to receive access to your comfortably flawless memories, your photos.
