Why Weekday Weddings Are the Trend to Watch in Southern California
by Frances Blythe
As the year comes to a close, we’re reflecting on some of the most exciting trends we’ve seen in 2024. One that’s sure to continue rising in 2025 is weekday weddings.
Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a grand celebration, weekday weddings have become a popular, practical, and economical choice for many couples.
Why Weekday Weddings Make Sense
Hosting a wedding in Southern California often comes with a hefty price tag, easily reaching $100,000 or more. One of the biggest expenses? The venue. Opting for a weekday wedding can help significantly reduce those costs while offering more flexibility in securing your dream venue. Plus, many vendors—ourselves included—are available year-round and throughout the week to bring your vision to life.
The Value of Professional Hair and Makeup
Hair and makeup may not be required to get married, but it’s an investment in your peace of mind and confidence on your special day. A weekday wedding can already help set a relaxed tone, and having professional hair and makeup can enhance that experience.
Imagine starting your day without the stress of perfecting your lashes or ensuring every strand of hair is in place. My goal is to help you look and feel your best, ensuring you love how you appear in your photos and giving you a confidence boost that will shine through the entire day.
Whether you’re saying “I do” on a Saturday or a Tuesday, our hair and makeup services are here to support you. We love helping brides across Southern California and Santa Barbara County look radiant and feel relaxed—no matter what day they choose to celebrate.

Choosing the Right Wedding Vendors
Selecting reliable vendors is essential to creating an stress-free experience. Here are a few tips to ensure you choose the right team:
- Read reviews. Check for feedback from past clients to get a sense of their quality and professionalism.
- Look at their portfolio. Make sure they have photos of their work that reflect the style you’re seeking.
- Assess their experience. How long have they been in the wedding industry.
- Trust your instincts. If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
