Wedding Guide: Preparing for your Bridal Beauty Trial Run

I am so excited that you’ve chosen to create some epic memories with us on your big day! This handy guide will hopefully help you prep for your upcoming trial run.

Your trial run allows us time to not only design your wedding day makeup and hair but also become a little better acquainted. Sure, we’ve chatted a bit before this, but during the trial run session is where we’ll really begin to connect and I can truly get a sense of your personal vibe. Plan to spend about two hours with me. It seems like a long time, but trust me, it goes quickly! During this time we will go over wedding day timelines, bridal party info (names + services they’d like to render), theme, and general flow of the day. I will also break down any inspiration photos you have and make sure you feel 100% confident with the look selected. After that, we will do full makeup and hair styling.

HERE’S THE BEST WAY TO PREP FOR YOUR TRIAL RUN:

  • Arrive with freshly washed hair and clean skin.

    If you’re coming from an appointment or work, we can clean your skin at the trial session.

  • Have a few inspiration photos ready.
    I say have no more than 3 makeup + 3 hair inspirations. This helps me get an idea of what styles you like! If you’re not sure where to start, here’s my pinterest if you want to take a look at some of my personal favorites!
