Hi guys
Well the bridal make-up bookings for 2011 are coming in thick and fast BUT I have a dilemma and was wondering what you all did in this situation!
I have had enquiries from two brides getting married on the same day in July. The first contacted me in January and booked a trial for the end of May. The second bride contacted me this week and is getting married on the same day, but wants a trial early May.
At this stage I'm waiting to hear what time the second bride's wedding is and whether it is feasible to do both (I have a gut feeling it won't be do-able).
I have a policy that if brides want to book me after their trial they pay a 50% non refundable deposit to secure their wedding date. So if bride number 2 has her trial first and then books me for the big day I'm going to have to let down bride number 1. But that feels harsh as it will be so close to her wedding to get someone else.
Ethically I feel an obligation to bride number 1 as she contacted me first, but there's potentially more work with bride number 2 and I am running a business....
I'm sure some of you out there have run into this situation - what do you do? Sorry if I've rambled - it's v late and I've just come back from holiday lol x
