Your Bridal Preview: A Stress-Free Step to Radiant Wedding Day Beauty

Your Bridal Preview is like your wedding day dress rehearsal—it’s your chance to see, test, and fine-tune your look before walking down the aisle. The more prepared you are, the smoother (and more fun!) the experience will be. Here’s exactly what to bring and do so you get the most out of your preview.

Bring Inspiration Photos (Hair + Makeup)

Pinterest boards and Instagram saves are your best friends here! Choose 3–5 photos that truly reflect the style you love—soft waves, natural glam, or that perfect low bun. Having visuals helps your artist understand your vision clearly. Remember, this is all about YOU! 🌟

Pack Accessories (Veil, Combs, Clips, Pins)

If you already have your bridal hair accessories, bring them along! Your stylist can place and secure them during your trial so you can see how everything works together. It’s all about creating that perfect look, right?

Wear the Right Outfit

Skip the wedding dress, but wear a top or dress that mimics your neckline and color. This helps you visualize how your hair and makeup will look against something similar to your gown. Trust me, it makes a difference!

Bring Skincare Notes

Note any sensitivities, allergies, or skincare concerns. Share what products you currently use so your artist can avoid reactions and ensure your skin is prepped properly for long wear. Your skin deserves the best care, especially on your big day! 💖

Bring Touch-Up Products You’re Considering

If you already have a lipstick or powder you’d like to use on your wedding day, bring it! That way, your artist can test it during your trial to ensure it photographs well and lasts. It’s all about that flawless finish!

Come With an Open Mind

A trial is all about experimenting. Don’t be afraid to tweak the look—whether that means adjusting your lip color, adding a little more glow, or softening your hairstyle. This is YOUR time to explore and perfect your bridal vision. Embrace the process! 🎉

The Importance of Communication

Communication is key during your Bridal Preview. Don’t hesitate to express your thoughts and feelings about the looks you’re trying. Your artist is there to help you shine and feel confident. The more you share, the better they can tailor the experience to your needs.

Consider Your Wedding Day Vibe

Think about the overall vibe of your wedding day. Are you going for a romantic garden theme, a classic ballroom feel, or something more modern? Your bridal look should reflect this atmosphere. Discuss your ideas with your artist to create a cohesive look that fits your celebration perfectly.

Test Different Lighting

Lighting can dramatically change how your makeup looks. If possible, try to have your trial during the same time of day as your wedding. This way, you can see how your makeup holds up in natural light versus artificial light. It’s all about those little details!
