I think it is important for every bride to have a trial session before the big day, a few of my brides brought along a scrapbook with images of the look they'd dreamed of having, taking into consideration their own personal style, dress & colour schemes. We then discuss what your idea of a perfect bridal make-up is and whether the bridesmaids/mother of the bride will also want their make-up doing for the day. This will also gives us an idea of the time in which it will take for the bridal party and work out what time and where we will need to meet.
I recommend doing the trial 4-6 weeks beforehand.
The trial usually takes a few hours to come up with the perfect look, this then allows you as the bride to tick one thing off the list, the perfect look is complete. I will take photos and keep notes of the products I used for the wedding day.
The trial is included with the cost of the bridal package, however if you feel you don't need a trial, I can simply deduct it from the final cost. You can come to me in Arborfield, Berkshire, or if you are in the areas I cover I can come to you for no extra charge.
