Bridal to-do list
Ideally at least 2 months prior to your wedding date, you should do your Hair and Makeup trial. During a trial you will need to provide the following information to the stylist:
Wedding venue and time/date
Reception venue and time
When will portraits be taken? (Before ceremony, or after)
What do you require? (Stay until portraits are taken, or continue for touch ups at reception, and will you be changing)
What time you need to be ready by
Skin regimen
Color schemes of Bridal party
A number on how many hair and makeup services will be needed on the day so I can schedule more artists
Hair and Makeup inspiration pictures - do you prefer trendy fashions or classic styles?
If you will be wearing hair pieces or extensions please bring them with you
Pictures of your outfits if you have them
Come prepared with your hair 100% dry and washed the night before, and your face makeup free
Tips: If you plan on coloring your hair, now is the time to experiment. Same goes with any new facials or beauty treatments you plan to do prior to the wedding. In case something goes wrong, you have ample time to fix it.
Ideally it is good to come to a trial with a facial done 2 weeks prior. Makeup does not go great on dry skin that has not been exfoliated. If you are using retinoids, please stop using them 1 week prior to any facial treatments
