Finding Inspiration

Your bridal trial is more than just a test run — it’s a magical step in your beauty journey where your wedding day look truly starts to come to life. At Le Rêve Makeup and Hair, we know how exciting (and sometimes overwhelming!) it can be to choose the perfect hair and makeup. That’s why we’re here to guide you in finding the right inspiration to bring your bridal vision to reality.

Whether you’re a minimalist bride, a glam goddess, or somewhere in between, here’s how to find the perfect bridal beauty inspiration for your trial.

1. Start with Your Wedding Aesthetic

Your wedding theme and overall vibe are the perfect place to begin. Ask yourself:

• Is your wedding romantic and soft, or bold and modern?
• Are you getting married in a garden, a grand ballroom, or on the beach?
• What’s the mood — dreamy, elegant, boho, chic?

Your hair and makeup should reflect the feel of your day. A classic updo might complement a formal affair, while loose waves or a glowing, dewy look may suit a more laid-back celebration.

2. Save Inspo Photos You Love

Pinterest, Instagram, and bridal magazines are your best friends! Create a dedicated board or album for hair and makeup ideas that speak to you.

Tip: Look for photos that feature similar skin tone, hair length, and texture to yours — this gives you a realistic idea of how certain looks might translate.

3. Consider Your Dress + Accessories

Your hairstyle and makeup should complement your gown and accessories:

• A high neckline pairs beautifully with updos or sleek buns.
• Romantic lace calls for soft waves or braided details.
• Statement earrings? Maybe tuck one side of your hair behind the ear.
• Wearing a veil or crown? Be sure to bring it to your trial!

4. Be Open, but Honest

Your trial is the time to collaborate with your artist. Come in with your inspiration, but stay open to professional guidance. At Le Rêve Makeup and Hair, we’ll offer suggestions based on your features, dress, venue, and timeline — all while staying true to your vision.

Don’t be afraid to speak up if something doesn’t feel like you. Your bridal beauty should feel authentic, comfortable, and elevated.

5. Bring the Right Vibe to Your Appointment

To make the most of your trial:

• Wear a white top or something close to your gown’s neckline
• Bring photos of your dress and wedding palette
• Arrive with clean, dry hair and a fresh face (unless directed otherwise)
• Most importantly — come excited! This is such a fun, special moment ✨
