From the Beauty Pros at Glam and Glo Universal ā Las Vegas
Planning your big day in a city as dazzling as Las Vegas means you want everything to run as smoothly as your highlighter blends. At Glam and Glo Universal, weāve had the honor of glamming up countless brides, and we know firsthand: a flawless beauty look is just one part of a stress-free wedding day.
Here are our top 9 tips to help you stay calm, confident, and camera-ready from sunrise to send-off.
1. š Stick to a Timeline (and Build in Extra Time)
Timing is everythingāespecially for hair and makeup. Always allow more time than you think you need. Rushing equals stress, and stress doesnāt photograph well! We build beauty schedules with buffers to make sure you're relaxed and ready.
š” Pro tip: Start earlier than you think. Trust usāweāve done this hundreds of times!
In Las Vegas, factor in transportation times. Traffic can sometimes be unpredictable. For example, if your ceremony and reception venues are more than five miles apart, leaving 30 minutes for travel is a good rule of thumb. Distributing this timeline to your bridal party, family, and vendors helps keep communication transparent.

2. š Let Your Dress Breathe
Vegas brides often fly in with gowns that stay packed tight in suitcases. If possible, hang your dress the night before to release wrinkles and give it room to settle. This makes a huge difference for photos and comfort.
šø Bonus: It also helps your dress look its absolute best in getting-ready shots!
3. š Skin & Hair Prep Starts the Night Before
Want that flawless finish? It starts with clean, hydrated skin and properly prepped hair. Gently exfoliate and moisturize the night before. For your hair, we recommend washing it the night before, unless your stylist has different advice based on your hair type.
ā Avoid new skincare products right before your wedding day to prevent surprise reactions!
4. š Wear a Robe or Button-Down for Getting Ready
Avoid pulling anything over your head after your glam session. A cute bridal robe or oversized button-down keeps your look safe and camera-ready. Itās functional andĀ fabulous.

5. š Choose a Look That Feels Like You
Your wedding is not the day to test drive a bold new trend. Choose a timeless hair and makeup look that enhances your features and reflects your personality. Our goal? Help you feel like the most beautiful version of yourself.
⨠A good nightās sleep is essential; studies show that a full nightās sleep can improve mood and performance by over 30%.
6. š Trust the Professionals (Thatās Us!)
Las Vegas weddings can be high-energy and fast-paced. You need a glam team that can adapt to any timeline, weather condition, or venue lighting. At Glam and Glo Universal, we bring experience, calm energy, and all the right toolsāincluding the best long-wear setting sprays in the biz.
7. š¶ Set a Calm Glam Vibe
Play your favorite playlist, surround yourself with supportive people, and let us do the rest. Good vibes = good photos, good memories, and a stress-free morning.
⨠We bring the beautyābut your energy sets the tone.
8. š Pack a Mini Touch-Up Kit
Youāll likely shed happy tears, hug loved ones, and maybe even hit the dance floor. A small touch-up kit (lipstick, blotting sheets, powder) keeps you fresh from āI doā to the after-party.
9. š§ Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!
Las Vegas is dryāreally dry. Make sure you're drinking plenty of water before and during your big day. Hydration helps your skin stay radiant, your lips smooth, and your energy high.
š„¤ Keep a water bottle nearby while getting ready and sip oftenāyour skin will thank you.
