Here are a few tips to make sure your special day is perfect:

• IMAGES OF HAIR & MAKEUP LOOKS

Bring images of hair & makeup looks, including those that you do and do not like. This allows for more clear communication with your stylist and makeup artist, as well as material for brainstorming on custom looks for your special day.

• IMAGES OF WEDDING DRESS

Providing your stylist and makeup artist with a full color visual of your dress will give them a better understanding of the complete look they will help you to create.

• HAIR ACCESSORIES

The purpose of your bridal trial is to create the look as it will be on your wedding day. If you have pre-selected any or all of the hair accessories you plan to wear (i.e. veil, hair pins, fresh flowers), please bring them to the trial. The addition of your chosen hair accessory adds the finishing touch to your bridal look. If you do not have a hair accessory selected and would like to try one, this is also a great opportunity to consult with your stylist for ideas.

• COSMETIC FAVORITES

Most salons and makeup studios that offer bridal makeup trials retail the line(s) of cosmetic products used during the services. If there are specific products that you love and would like for your makeup artist to use, please bring them to your trial. Your makeup artist should be happy to incorporate them.

• CAMERA

This is an important component of your bridal hair & makeup trial. Once your trial is complete, have your stylist or makeup artist take pictures of the finished look(s). You may want to try several different looks. Keeping a record of what you did and did not like will help to make your special day go more smoothly and stress free.
