Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, so it's important to look and feel your best. A big part of that is making sure your hair and makeup are on point is to complete a trial before your wedding day. During a trial, you can try out styles and looks and make decisions when there is less stress. Here are some tips to help you prepare for your hair and makeup trial so you feel confident in your look and enjoy being the bride on your big day!
Choose Inspiration Photos Wisely
One of the most important things you can do when preparing for your hair and makeup trial is to choose reference photos wisely. Avoid referencing filtered photos from Snapchat or Instagram, or photos where you're not styled. Instead, search Pinterest and Instagram for hair and makeup inspiration that matches your own hair and skin tone. If you're blonde, look for blonde hairstyles. If you have dark eyes, avoid looking at makeup on blue-eyed brides. Knowing what you like will help your stylist create a look that's perfect for you.
Share What You Don't Like
Hated your prom hair or that time you were a bridesmaid when Aunt Joan did your makeup? We need to know what you didn't like! Feel free to bring those photos with you to your trial. Knowing what you don't like is equally as helpful as knowing what you do like. This way, we can avoid any styles or looks that you're not a fan of and focus on creating a look that you love.
Pick the Right Outfit
When it comes time for your hair and makeup trial, it's important to wear an outfit that will give your stylist a good idea of what you'll be wearing on your big day. Choose something light in color with a similar neckline to your wedding dress. This will help us get an idea of how your hair and makeup will look with your overall wedding day look.
Get Feedback From Others
Before coming in for your trial, it's a good idea to poll your bridesmaids and anyone who may have an opinion on what they think about your hair and makeup options. This way, we can take all of the feedback into account when creating a look that's perfect for you.
Approach your trial with an open mind.
