The Inquiry
We always stress to our brides the importance of communication with your wedding vendors from start to finish. This starts right at the initial inquiry. Did they respond to you organically or was it an auto-response email? Were they able to answer any questions you asked? Was a phone call to discuss details initiated? Were you able to easily access their website and view work from their current artists? Booking a vendor should never be the hard part—they should be eager to talk to you!
Your Bridal Trial
What is it? Do I need to bring anything? There can be a lot of questions about how to hire a team of stylists if you have never had professional services done before. The first thing they’re going to ask you is when you are looking to schedule a bridal trial. You don’t need to have one, but you absolutely should. This is a test run of your hair and makeup look with the artists that will show up on your wedding day. This is the time to show pictures of what inspires you, talk about your wedding vibe, and see if you’re happy with the results.
Stay True
Be honest with your stylists. If you don’t wear a lot of makeup definitely let them know so they don’t shock you with something that you won’t like. Have pictures available from Instagram or Pinterest of looks that you would be interested in. Not every look is going to translate exactly how it does in the picture, but your team of stylists can tell you how to replicate the aesthetic with your hair and skin type.
Ask Questions
The only way to be certain of your choice is to ask questions. What time will they be arriving? How long will it take if they do your bridesmaids hair and makeup also? Ask what kind of products they use and always let any stylists know about allergies! Utilize your bridal trial to tweak anything with your look.
Prep Yourself!
Leading up to your wedding, make sure you stick with a consistent skin care routine. No drastic hair changes either! Any facials or skin treatments should be done at least a week in advance to avoid any redness or irritation that may follow. Drink plenty of water and never sleep with your makeup on!
Wedding hair and makeup is an incredibly important part of your day. You spend so much time choosing the perfect gown and accessories, your hair and makeup should be flawless to match!
