Age is just a number, baby.

You. Are. Beautiful. 

Since Top Knot opened its doors in 2015, we’ve been lucky to work with some amazing brides and bridal parties. No matter where the wedding takes place, or where the bridal party gets ready, there’s always a sparkle in the room… some magic and a little something in the air that is tangible at every wedding morning - and we’re thrilled to be part of it.

For our team, having a small part in a client’s most important day and working our art to unleash the inner beauty of the whole party is incredibly rewarding. As you can imagine, we love making the bride feel her very best with amazing hair and makeup, but we treat every member of the wedding party as if they were brides, too. And with over 500 weddings under our belts, we know that when the bride feels beautiful, and when her bridesmaids, the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom feel beautiful, that magic truly takes root. 

Sometimes, though, our inner-critics rear their ugly heads - like when we know we’re getting ready for an important event, and we know there’ll be eyes and cameras on us. 

One of the most common dialogues that takes place is between our artists and the mother of the bride or groom. It often goes as follows:

Mother of the Groom: [getting ready for her makeup application] Do you offer botox?

Top Knot Artist: [pause] Uhmmm.. No. 

Mother of the Groom: [Sigh] Okay, but what are you going to do about my wrinkles then? 

Top Knot Artist: [confused pause] Well, ma’am, I don’t think you’ll need to worry about that, but our makeup application will help even things out. 

Mother of the Groom: [Sigh] Well okay then.  

Top Knot Artist: [inner dialogue]: Botox? Silly. She doesn’t need botox. Who told her she needs botox? 

Yup, we hear it all the time, ladies. And it needs to stop, so here’s some real-talk.

No, we don’t offer botox.

No, we don’t do anything special to cover wrinkles.

And guess what? You don’t need it. 

You’re amazing, beautiful and with a little hair and makeup love, you’ll be ready to own it and let the magic in. 

So, shoulders back and chin up, ladies. Age is just a number, baby, and the only number you should be worried about is the number of jaws that’ll drop when you glide through the room.
