The trial
Try the look before you commit
A full appointment in my studio, a few months before your date, for the bride.
You wear the look with your veil or headpiece, and we change it until it feels like you. Then I write down the plan for the morning, and you decide whether to sign.
What happens
The trial, step by step

Step 1: We talk
I look at your photographs, your dress and your hair as it is, and ask how you want to feel in the photographs.

Step 2: We try
I style your hair and place your veil. We try a second arrangement if the first isn't right.

Step 3: We adjust
You sit with it, look from every side, and tell me what to change. I note each pin.

What to bring
Your veil or headpiece
Whatever you plan to wear, so we place it as it will sit on the day.

Washed, dry and worn the way you'd wear it that day, with no product.
Questions about the trial
Do I need a trial?
Yes, for the bride. The trial is where we settle the look, test your veil and write the plan for the morning. Bridesmaids and guests don't need one.
What should I bring to the trial?
Your veil or headpiece, photographs of looks you like, a photo of your dress's neckline and back, and hair washed, dry and worn the way you'll wear it on the day.
Do you work with my hair type?
I style straight, wavy and curly hair at most lengths. If a look needs your hair longer or fuller, I tell you at the trial and we plan from there.
