Bridal Trial Preparation

How to Prepare for Your Bridal Makeup & Hair Trial

Your bridal beauty trial is one of the most exciting parts of wedding planning—it’s the moment you get to see your dream wedding look come to life! At Le Rêve Makeup & Hair, we want to ensure your trial is a fun, stress-free experience where you leave feeling confident and excited for your big day. Here’s how you can prepare to make the most of your appointment:

1. Gather Inspiration

Before your trial, spend some time gathering inspiration photos for both hair and makeup. Pinterest, Instagram, and bridal magazines are great places to start. Try to find images that align with your dress style, wedding vibe, and personal aesthetic. If you have specific elements you love (a soft glam eye, a romantic updo, or a glowing complexion), bring them along!

2. Wear White (or a Similar Shade to Your Dress)

Wearing a white or light-colored top can help you better visualize how your makeup and hair will look with your wedding gown. The contrast between your makeup and outfit can make a big difference in how your final look comes together.

3. Have a Clean, Moisturized Face & Dry, Clean Hair

Arriving with a fresh face (free of makeup) and clean, dry hair will allow our artists to work their magic without any barriers. Lightly moisturizing your skin ensures the best makeup application, and freshly washed hair provides the best base for styling.

4. Bring Your Accessories

If you plan to wear a veil, hairpiece, or any special accessories, bring them to your trial! This will help us ensure your hairstyle accommodates them perfectly. If you’re considering hair extensions for added volume or length, let us know in advance so we can incorporate them into your trial.

5. Communicate Openly

Your trial is all about making sure you feel your absolute best. Don’t be afraid to communicate what you love, what you’d like to tweak, or any concerns you may have. We’re here to collaborate and create a look that truly reflects you!

6. Plan for the Day

Your makeup and hair trial is a great time to test how your look will wear throughout the day. If possible, plan a dinner or an event afterward to see how everything holds up. This can give you insight into any adjustments needed for long-lasting wear on your wedding day.

7. Take Photos in Natural Light

Snap a few photos in different lighting conditions to see how your makeup and hair translate on camera. Natural light is best for capturing the true colors and details of your look.

8. Trust the Process & Have Fun!

This is your chance to experiment, fine-tune, and feel pampered before your big day. Trust our team to guide you, offer professional advice, and ensure that when the wedding day arrives, you’ll be feeling radiant and ready to walk down the aisle.
