Getting hair/makeup trial done/question

You could plan a night out with your friends for the same day you have your trial! That way, you get to see how it holds up throughout the day, and you don't have to wash it out right away. Otherwise, if you don't mind your fiance seeing the hair/makeup look, you could plan the trial for the same day as your engagement photos.

I actually did my bridal trial right before our engagement photos! 😂

Mine is scheduled right before a boudoir shoot.

I did my trial the day of my bridal shower.

View Quoted Comment Oooo I like that idea! Dinner with my girls.. We already did engagement photos last year...thank you!!

View Quoted Comment Love it!! Thank you!

View Quoted Comment Ooooo nice!!! Thank you!

I just told him I tried a few hair styles and make-up looks and this was the last one I tried. Honestly, I doubt he'll probably even realize that what he saw me in was what I'll be doing on our wedding day.

I timed mine so that the hair trial was on the day of a formal event I had to go to. That way it had more than one purpose

My MOH scheduled mine for the day of my bachelorette (the bach was a surprise) so that I looked fancy for our night out.

View Quoted Comment I love that!! Ours is 2 days before ....hmmmm

I had my makeup trial the morning of my bridal shower, and I had my hair trial the morning of one of my dress fittings. I didn't worry about my husband seeing either though

I did my trial hair just when we could squeeze it in and he saw but I didn't really care. He's more concerned with not seeing my dress

I just came home & my husband saw me, then we went out to dinner. He saw my hair & makeup but there's no way it compares to when you're all done up in your dress/veil/shoes/jewelry on your wedding day. It didn't take away from it at all. I can't imagine not having a trial, I'd be super stressed.

Bridal portraits are regional so are only customary in certain areas. Why is the groom not supposed to see the hair/makeup trial? Never heard that anywhere and I couldn't imagine spending that much time and money to immediately wash it off. Dress up and have a date night at home with dinner delivered (many places are not open for in-restaurant dining).

View Quoted Comment Yes that is customary with my family. No look of hair,makeup,dress,shoes,jewelry.

My FH Will Be Seeing Mine. I Dont Have A Formal Event, Bridal Shower, Bachelorette, Photoshoot, Etc. To Attend To, Or Friends In My Area To Do Things With Lol. He Isnt Going To Realize Its The Same Anyway.

1000% do not skip this point. I took a photo I was sure I knew what to have the artist do and we ended up modifying it til it felt right. Do what feels good to you; but I'd suggest seeing those that mean the most to you that and value their feedback. And FH might be so dense he doesn't know . . . 🤣🤣🤣 bonus to time it for photos or professional head shots or just a girl's night out.
