Even clothing items have an expiration when you put them on the rack and decide you “want it later”

But this isn’t a clothing item - this is her wedding date, and this is your business. 

When an inquiry comes in and the bride wants a trial before officially signing a contract or paying a deposit, holding that date indefinitely can seriously hurt your revenue.

Here’s why open-ended trial holds put your business at risk:

1. Lost Income Opportunity: Holding space for an uncommitted client means turning away (or putting off) a bride who is 100% ready to book you on the spot.

2. Awkward Client Dynamics: If another bride inquires for that same date tomorrow, you’re forced into an uncomfortable position: either canceling on the first bride or telling the second bride you’re holding the date for someone who hasn’t committed yet.

3. Lack of Boundaries: Allowing unscheduled or prolonged decision periods communicates that your availability isn’t in high demand.

The Solution:

If you choose to offer pre-booking trials, put a strict 24 to 48-hour deadline on holding the date from the moment you have the conversation. Get her in quickly, or make it clear that the date remains open to other paying clients until a deposit is made. 

Protect your calendar, set firm boundaries, and prioritize the clients who are ready to commit to your work.

Bridal MUAs & Hairstylists: Do you require a signed contract before booking a trial, or do you offer a short hold window?

Let me know in the comments! 👀

Engagement season is almost here, and the brides inquiring NOW could fill your calendar for ALL of 2027.

I know investing $2,000 in a mentorship can feel scary when you’re currently charging $500 for bridal makeup.

But here’s what I want you to consider.

You can keep telling yourself, “I don’t have the money right now. Maybe next season.”

OR you can ask yourself, “What would the woman I’m becoming do differently TODAY to build the business I know I’m capable of running?”

Because this isn’t just about making more money.

It’s about becoming the woman who knows her numbers instead of wondering where all her money went.

Who has systems that work instead of running her entire business from her DMs.

Who knows how to attract her ideal brides instead of constantly worrying about her next booking.

Who doesn’t compare herself to other artists because she’s confident in HER strategy.

Who can turn down bookings that don’t align with the vision God has placed on her heart.

THAT’S the woman we’re building inside The Anointed Artist.

And I’m not handing you a library of trainings and leaving you to figure it out.

We’re reviewing YOUR pricing, running YOUR numbers, refining YOUR content, packages, and booking systems.

You have direct access to me for personalized feedback and support as you IMPLEMENT.

Because you can’t expect to become a different business owner while continuing to make the same decisions.

And with engagement season approaching, those decisions matter NOW.

20 weddings at $500 generates the same revenue as 10 weddings at $1,000.

Same revenue. TWICE the work.

And once those contracts are signed, your rates are locked in.

If finances are the obstacle, payment plans may be available for as low as $100/month with approval.

The goal isn’t just to charge more in 2027. It’s to become the woman who’s equipped to build, lead, and steward the business she’s been praying for.

Comment “READY” if you’re ready to start becoming her BEFORE your 2027 calendar fills up.

I’m tired of seeing talented Christian bridal MUAs and hairstylists convince themselves they have to stay at $300 or $500 because they’re afraid brides won’t book them if they raise their prices

But can I challenge you on something?

Just because you’re booked doesn’t mean you’re profitable.

Of course you might have more demand when you’re the cheapest option. But is the goal really to book MORE weddings?

Or is it to build a business that’s actually sustainable?

Because working 3 weddings every weekend? That’s 12 weddings a month. And some of you are doing MORE than that

But here’s my question: Are brides booking you because they recognize the value of your artistry and experience? Or because you’re affordable and available?

There’s a difference.

I teach my students how to charge higher rates, create an exceptional bridal experience, and build businesses that don’t require them to sacrifice every weekend just to make ends meet.

And whether your goal is $60K, $70K, or $100K a year, I’m not going to tell you it’s impossible

I’m going to tell you it’s going to require WORK.

You cannot keep saying God is the CEO of your business while allowing fear to make every decision.

You’re submitted to God. Not fear. Not lack. Not anxiety. Not what the artist down the street is charging.

Do you really believe God gave you a vision for your business just to dangle it in front of you and say, “Sorry, you can’t have that because the market says otherwise”?

Girl.

We serve a God who does the IMPOSSIBLE.

But faith doesn’t mean sitting around waiting for your circumstances to change.

It means getting the wisdom, building the systems, learning how to communicate your value, and actually taking action.

Stop allowing fear to determine what you’re capable of building.

Write the vision. Make the plan. Do the work.

And start stewarding the business God entrusted to you like you actually believe He’s capable of doing something extraordinary with it.

Comment “READY” and I’ll teach you exactly what it takes to not just get high-end inquiries, but how to book them, too.

11 years of running a bridal business with ZERO systems taught me one thing: doing everything manually will burn you out AND hurt your client experience 😅

So instead of just giving you course modules and sending you on your way, I built the exact tools, templates, systems, and resources I wish I had when I started.

My goal isn’t just to teach you what to do. It’s to give you the tools, support, and accountability to actually DO IT.

Because here’s what I’ve learned…

There will ALWAYS be a reason why you can’t do something.

Not enough money. Not enough time. Not enough experience. Not enough confidence. Not the right season.

And you can either keep telling yourself, “I can’t because…” or you can start asking yourself, “How can I make this possible?”

One mindset keeps you waiting for the perfect circumstances. The other challenges you to take responsibility for what you CAN control.

And I’m not saying every opportunity is right for every season. But I AM saying that if you keep waiting until everything feels comfortable, you’re going to spend a whole lot of time waiting.

The women who see results aren’t necessarily the ones with the most resources. They’re the ones willing to get resourceful, do the uncomfortable work, and follow through even when it’s hard.

So the question isn’t whether you’ll face obstacles. You will.

The question is: Are you going to keep finding reasons why you can’t, or are you ready to start finding ways you can?

Comment “READY” below and I’ll DM you the details to get started.

The enemy doesn’t have to convince you that God can’t do the impossible.

He just has to keep you from taking action on what you say you believe.

Keep you undercharging.

Keep you exhausted from working three weddings every weekend.

Keep you accepting less than you’re worth working for bridal teams because you’re afraid to build something of your own.

Keep you so busy that you’re missing Sundays at church, time with your children, and the rest your body desperately needs.

And convince you that staying comfortable is somehow safer than stepping out in faith.

But what is that comfort actually costing you?

Inside the Anointed Artist Accelerator, most of my students have already doubled or even tripled their bridal rates.

But they didn’t just change their prices.

They’re learning how to build the systems, client experience, and positioning to confidently communicate their value and attract brides willing to invest.

And they’re doing it afraid. They’re confronting doubt, resistance, and limiting beliefs because they know what they’re building is worth getting uncomfortable for.

Faith without works is dead. James 2:17.

You can keep praying for a different business, but at some point, you have to be willing to build one.

And with engagement season around the corner, every wedding you book at your old rates is another weekend next year committed to the very cycle you’re trying to escape.

Our next round begins November 16.

Comment “READY” if you’re ready to stop letting fear make your business decisions. Let’s talk about what you’re believing God for in your business. 🤍

You say you want to book more brides, but you’re secretly terrified of what happens when they actually inquire.

Because you already know what’s coming.

She’s going to ask for pricing. You’re going to send it. And then you’re going to check your phone 15 times wondering if you scared her away.

So you start questioning everything.

Maybe my prices are too high.
Maybe I need to post more.
Maybe my work just isn’t good enough.
Maybe God hasn’t opened that door for me yet.

But here’s what I want you to consider…

What if your biggest problem isn’t that brides aren’t willing to pay your prices, but that you haven’t learned how to communicate why you’re worth them?

What if you stopped changing your prices every time someone ghosted you?

What if you actually knew how many weddings you needed to book to make a profit?

What if your website, content, packages, and inquiry process worked together instead of you constantly trying to convince brides to book you?

You don’t need to keep guessing your way through another engagement season.

And you don’t need to keep calling fear “waiting on God’s timing” when you know there are things in your business you’ve been avoiding.

Faith doesn’t eliminate your responsibility to prepare.

That’s why I created The Anointed Artist.

Not to teach you how to chase more brides, but to help you build a business that’s actually prepared to receive them.

Our next round begins November 16.

Comment “READY” and I’ll send you the details on how we can work together.
