Plan For The Perfect Wedding Day

Your wedding day is going to be filled with love, laughter, and photos.  It’s the day where you will likely be photographed more than any other in your life.  When you plan for hair and makeup for the big day, there are tons of reasons why you should do a trial, and that is at the top of the list.  With all that happens during your wedding day, it’s important that you feel like the best version of yourself and the most beautiful.  If you’re not completely in love with your hair and makeup, it will show in your photos.  A trial allows you to make sure that the style of your hair and makeup will last all day long and be a look that makes you look (and feel) like the best version of yourself.

All throughout wedding planning, most brides look through thousands of pictures online looking for inspiration for the perfect hair and makeup styles.  They usually end up saving a large number of photos and have tons of ideas flowing through their mind.  While we encourage looking up photos for inspiration, keep in mind a professional will see all of these photos and see a lot of different aspects that you might not realize at first.  One photo may have wispies around the face while the other has larger curled pieces framing the face.  There’s different undertones in colors, so even if some photos may look to have red lipstick, they could be completely different.  Because we have to know your skin and hair type, some styles might not work with your face frame, and some colors may clash with your skin.  The trial allows us to work with you to get a better understanding of your hair and skin, so that we can help show you what will help you look flawless.

There are so many different factors when working with a bride and determining the perfect look that a trial is absolutely essential to make sure your stylist can help you in selecting the most amazing of all styles that will bring out your favorite features and make sure all heads are turned to you.  A trial will give you that peace of mind in knowing that your wedding day beauty isn’t being left up to chance.  A trial allows you to know that the person working with you is someone you have worked with before, and you have more trust in what they will do for you to make sure you look beyond stunning as you walk down the aisle all the way until you’re dancing the night away on the dance floor.

What to Expect

• We love to see what photos you have as inspiration for your perfect look!  When we have the trial, show us a couple of your top favorites, and we can see where your inspiration is leading to.  Keep in mind, some people have different eye shapes or hair texture, so depending on these factors, it may not look exactly like the image.  We can use these images to tailor the look to compliment your features and highlight your beauty.
• For the trial, we’ll complete one hair and one makeup look for you.  Too many changes to a hairstyle can make it look unpolished causing frizz or flat curls.  It can lead to any additional looks not looking perfected like it should.  We are always happy to discuss what your feelings and thoughts are on what look is completed, so feel free to let us know exactly what you’re thinking as we work with you.
• When you’re not used to wearing a full face of makeup every day, it can be a little shocking to see yourself in it.  You may feel silly or not like yourself.  We can always start with a more natural beauty look to enhance your features, and then we can build from there to help you see the progress and understand also how it will appear in photos.
• The most important part of any bridal trial is, to be honest!  The only way we can provide the best service is to you is if you are completely honest with us.  Don’t worry, you won’t hurt any feelings if you decide you don’t like the way something looks or want to do something different.  As much as we would love to be mind readers, we simply aren’t.  We want you to be absolutely satisfied and ecstatic over your makeup and hairstyle, so be sure to let us know your thoughts honestly.  If you aren’t sure about your look after the trial, let us know and we can talk about a plan for the wedding day to make changes to line up more with what you like.  You can even schedule a second trial to try something different as well.

You deserve to look and feel like the most beautiful version of yourself, and a bridal trial is a way to guarantee this will happen!  Contact us to schedule your complimentary phone consultation today, and we’ll help you look flawless down the aisle!
