When is my bridal preview?
This appointment can be booked at anytime, pending availability. In our experience, booking this appointment 2-4 months before the wedding day is most beneficial as you have a clearer vision and details are falling in place. Previews can not be held on Saturdays as most are booked for weddings. We devote 1-2 Sundays per month to bridal previews and is very flexible on weekdays from 10am – 4pm. Other arrangements can be made based on availability. Your preview is not guaranteed to line up with a special event.
What should I bring to my bridal preview?
Please be sure to come with a clean face (NO MAKEUP !) and clean dry hair (BLOWN OUT/ STRAIGHTENED WITH NO HOLD PRODUCTS). Also make sure to print out the Bridal makeup questionnaire and have it filled out to the best of your ability prior to arrival. Having some photos of inspiration on-hand is highly recommended – this will allow me to collect an idea of the wedding day look you are aiming for! Also, wear a white top or a shirt with an open neckline. And of course, don’t forget to bring a photo of your DRESS!
