I have my hair and make-up trial coming up this weekend and I am excited/nervous, or nercited! I am super excited to start having my bridal look come together but I booked Creations by Mia without a trial first. Hence my being nervous. One thing I am sure will help with my nerves is to have a clear picture of what I am looking for in my hairstyle.

I knew I want to wear my hair up since our wedding is going to be by the ocean and there is ’shore’ (hahah) to be a breeze. I don’t like hair blowing all over my face, so up it is! I am looking for something in the low chignon category.

This is almost exactly what I am looking for. Clean, neat but still has a little drama to it. I call it “ballerina at play.”

I love this one too but I think it is a little more loopy and structured than I would imagine my hair.

Last two inspiration pictures came from the Hive! The ever lovely Mrs. Tartlet and the stunning Mrs. Cowboy Boots!

I love both of their hair so much. Very classy and elegant. I only plan on giving Mia four inspiration photos hoping not to overwhelm her. I think my inspiration is pretty consistent through the photos so hopefully four will be enough!

It is going to be a big weekend because I am having my makeup trial, too! Two inspiration missions for the price of one. My makeup request was pretty simple. I want my bridal glow to shine through so lots of peaches and dewy-ness. When looking for inspiration I first had to rack my brain for which actresses have dark hair, pale skin and blue eyes. I don’t know why it took me so long but I finally remembered on of my favorites… Zooey Deschanel!

She looks so natural and stunning in all these photographs. I have absolute faith that Mia will transform me into Zooey with a low chignon this weekend.

Any one else have a hair/makeup trial recently? How did it go? And how much to you love Zooey/want to be her in that cotton commercial?
