What to Expect at Your Bridal Hair & Makeup Trial (Canberra Brides Guide)

💄 What Is a Bridal Hair & Makeup Trial?

A bridal trial is a personalized session where we design and refine your ideal wedding day look. It’s a full preview of your hair and makeup, tailored to your skin tone, hair type, dress, and overall aesthetic. During the trial, you’ll:

- Test out your chosen look in natural light and on camera

- Make adjustments to style, finish, or colour preferences

- Ensure your hair and makeup work well together and suit your face shape

- Experience how the products feel and last over time

- Leave feeling excited and confident about your final look

📍 Why It Matters for Canberra Weddings

Canberra’s climate can vary—warm and dry summers, chilly winters—so we use techniques and products tailored for long-lasting, flawless results in any condition.

🗓️ When to Book Your Trial

Bridal trials are booked after your wedding day services have been confirmed and the date secured. Trials are typically held 3 to 4 weeks before your wedding, when your skin and hair condition are close to what they’ll be on the day.

📍 Where Are Trials Held?

Trials take place in my private home studio in Canberra, a comfortable and well-lit space designed for one-on-one beauty sessions.

📷 What to Bring to Your Trial

To help us bring your vision to life, please bring:

- Inspiration photos (hair and makeup looks you love)

- A picture of your wedding dress

- Your veil or hair accessories (if available)

- Info about your wedding theme, venue, and colours

- Photos of your usual makeup look, if you wear any

💬 What Happens During the Trial?

Your trial is a creative, collaborative session. We’ll talk through your ideas, apply full makeup, and style your hair to suit your face shape, skin tone, and bridal outfit. You’ll have time to request tweaks and ensure every detail is perfect.

💕 Final Thoughts

A bridal trial is more than just a test run, it’s your chance to feel completely at ease about how you’ll look and feel on one of the most important days of your life.
