Trial Runs
A trial run is important to ensure that we work out just the right look you want to achieve. Lasting between 1-3 hours, this is the opportunity for us to try out different hairstyles and experiment with different makeup looks. It is also helpful to get an idea of the colour schemes that will be used, whether you are going to be wearing a tiara, veil, flowers etc. The trial is an opportunity to ensure that all factors will be considered when designing the final look.
If desired I can also do a trial for the bridesmaids, mother of the bride/groom etc.
