Wedding Trials

A: We suggest to schedule a trial 4 - 5 months prior to your wedding date.

 

Q: How long does a trial take? 

A: Trials take approximately 3 hours.

 

Q: What is involved in a trial? 

A: We usually ask the bride to send us inspirational images of the look they're interested in and a recent photo of themselves. Once at the trial, we help them see what style fits them best. Common concerns are the hairstyle. Most brides can't figure out if they prefer their hair up or down. This will be something we discuss during the trial. Sometimes we do try both so the brides can visually see what they prefer on their wedding day. 

 

Q: Are trials mandatory? 

A: Trials are not mandatory, however highly suggested. We do get lots of brides from out of town that is unable to book a trial. Trials help both the bride and artist connect with each other; which can then help with the style the bride ends up with. Brides who get trials done are more relaxed on their big day when they know what to expect. 

 

Q: What should I bring on the trial day? 

A: Inspirational images, lip colors ( this will be the same one to use for their touch-up), hair accessories (veil, flowers, clips)

Preparation for your special event 

 

Makeup

• Makeup and hair inspirational images (need to be sent ahead)

• Wash your face in the morning and moisturize with your favorite moisturizer. (SPF is allowed)

• For flawless makeup, it starts with healthy skin. Please exfoliate (and your lips) at least once a week.

• Moisturize every night to keep your skin hydrated. (try a hydrating mask)

• Drinks lots of water

• Bride -  bring a few lip colors to choose from. This will be the same color you use for touch-ups. 

 

Hair

• Wash your hair the night before, if you have extremely coarse frizzy hair, use conditioner.

• If your oily hair, Do NOT use conditioner and wash your hair morning of your event. 

• We will have extensions here; your artist will discuss details with you.

• Be sure to blow dry your hair upwards/upside down.  

• Please have your hair DRY prior to working with us. (we do NOT carry blow dyers or have time scheduled to dry your hair).

• Lots of women like to tie their hair back. This will be okay, however, please be sure to tie a high ponytail, never low.

• If possible, wear a zip or button top to prevent messing up your makeup/hair. Try for a top that matches the outfit you plan on wearing for your special event. 

 

Touch up kit suggestions:

 

• Lip color

• Blush - Feel free to pick a color of your choice.  Be sure it is powder based.

• Loose Powder - great for absorbing oily zones

• Oil blotting paper - Also great for absorbing oily zones

• Eyelash glue - The brand I use is called, "Duo."

• Hairspray and hairpins

• Bring straws to avoid retouch of the lipstick. 

• Safety pins, scissors
