Your Bridal Trial-What Every Bride Should Discuss with their Hairdresser & Makeup Artist

So you're getting closer and closer to your wedding day! What an exciting time of your life. You've chosen the venue, mailed the invitations, even picked out a dress. But have you scheduled one of the most important items on your checklist-your bridal trial?

Your bridal trial is one of the most important and fun things to do of all the events leading up to your wedding day. Bridal trials are all about you! You get to spend some time in the salon with your girlfriends getting pampered, who doesn't like that? It's also the first time you will be seeing just how beautiful you will look on your wedding day! Although this appointment is major fun for you and your wedding party, it is also a very important time to make some pretty tough decisions regarding your hair and makeup needs for your wedding day. The venue, your dress, the type of wedding you are having all play a vital role in determining your overall look for the day. Having a bridal trial will help choose the best style for your hair and makeup that will coordinate with your wedding plans.

 

Your Hair and Makeup

I stress the importance of bridal trials because it’s usually the first time you and your hairstylist and makeup artist meet. This is when they can learn more about your hair and skin. Many times brides have a certain look they have seen in a magazine for their hair and in reality their hair is not thick enough or long enough to achieve that look. You may need hair extentions to get the look you want or you might decide to go with a different look completely. The texture of your hair plays a major role in the hairstyle. You need to go with a style that your hair can support and will last the entire evening. Having an outdoor wedding might mean having a different hairstyle than an indoor wedding. Lighting is important in choosing your makeup, the sun tends to wash you out in photos. Your makeup artist can add more bronzer to make sure you are perfectly shaded in your photos. The humidity, wind, and weather elements all play a role in deciding which look to choose for your wedding.

 

 

 

 

Your Dress

 

Always bring a picture of your wedding dress with you to the consultation. Depending on the cut and style of the dress, your stylist may have better hairstyles that would compliment your dress. Wedding gowns come in all shapes and styles. You want to ensure that your hair matches and compliments your dress. For instance, if you are wearing a modern, sleek satin gown, you may want an elegant updo as a hairstyle. Your stylist might also suggest hairpieces that would accent your hair and dress.

 

Your Wedding Theme

 

Be sure to discuss the overall theme of your wedding with your stylist. There is a big difference between a country themed wedding and a black tie affair. You want to make sure your overall appearance is in line with your theme. Your stylist may have suggestions that you didn’t think of when deciding on a hairstyle or makeup look.

 

Remember your hairstylist and makeup artist are your friend. Their job is to ensure you are fabulous on your wedding day. Equip them with as much information as possible regarding your wedding and in return they will create a look that best suits your needs.
