Getting Pretty

May 27th, 2010 @ 5:27 pm by Mrs. Seashell

This past weekend I flew to Providence with a serious wedding “to do” list in hand. Among the many things to tackle: my hair and makeup trial. I’d tucked away inspiration photos for months, all with a consistent look and feel.

I’ll admit that I was a little nervous going alone. I mean, of course the hair dresser and makeup artist were going to tell me I looked fabulous. I needed honest feedback and brutal honesty! So in an effort to be as prepared as possible I arrived with the following:

  • Hair inspiration photos
  • Photos of me in my wedding dress
  • My veil
  • Camera
  • Laptop (in the event additional photos/inspiration was needed)

I was all set up and ready to go…

The result? Stay tuned!

Did you bring people to your hair and makeup trials? Or did you brave it alone?

my first hair trial was awful! i have very long, thick hair and all of my inspiration pictures has tight curls throughout, and when i got there they told me it would be impossible for me to have the curls since it was so long! I went alone, equipt with many pictures & my laptop as well! By the time i got to my mothers house to show her, the ’style’ had completely come undone, and looked like a tousled mess! I have yet to go back for my second trial, as i am trying to find different styles that would work! I hope yours went better than mine!

Miss Seashell! I am also a bride getting married in RI, and although I’m originally from there, I haven’t lived there in years! If you get a moment, I’d love it if you could recommend any vendors (including hair & makeup). We’re flying back in two weeks to start booking and I’d love any advice you could give!

I love the pictures that you brought to your hair trial. I am going to borrow them :-)

Can’t wait to see the final result!

I braved my hair and makeup trial alone since 1) all my friends and family live 4+ hours away and 2) I didn’t want them to sit there and watch me get beautified for 3 hours! Can’t wait to see the results of your trial run!!

I took my mom and one of my bridesmaids, just for feedback on “the look.”
