The Preview
Morgan Hill Private Studio
Your bridal preview will take place at my private home studio in Morgan Hill, California. The studio address and arrival details will be provided prior to your appointment.
Let’s create your bridal look.
Your preview is our time to bring the vision together. We’ll talk through your wedding, your personal style, and how you want to feel before creating a hair and makeup look that feels unmistakably like you.
BEFORE WE MEET
A little inspiration goes a long way.
Save a few images that capture what you’re drawn to for both hair and makeup. They don’t need to look exactly like you or even be bridal.
Think about the details you love, the things you don’t, and most importantly, how you want to feel when you see yourself on your wedding day.
YOUR BRIDAL VISION
Before your preview, I’ll have you share a few details about your wedding and the look you’re envisioning.
We’ll cover your dress, venue, overall aesthetic, hair and makeup inspiration, veil and accessories, extensions, skin preferences, and anything you absolutely do not want.
One question to think about:
When you look at your wedding photos ten years from now, how do you want to describe the way you looked?
COME AS YOU ARE, ALMOST.
For hair
Arrive with clean, completely dry hair. Unless we’ve discussed otherwise, avoid heavy oils, masks or styling products before your appointment.
Bring your veil, hair accessories and extensions if you plan to wear them.
For makeup
Arrive with clean, moisturized skin and little to no makeup. Avoid trying new skincare treatments or aggressive exfoliation immediately before your preview.
BRING WITH YOU
Your veil and hair accessories, extensions if applicable, jewelry you’d like to see with the finished look, and any inspiration you’ve saved.
If you have photos of yourself where you loved your hair or makeup, bring those too. Sometimes those tell me more than a Pinterest board ever could.
WHAT TO EXPECT
This is a collaboration.
We’ll start with a consultation, talk through your inspiration, and create your hair and makeup look together.
We’ll make adjustments as we go, photograph the finished look, and document the details we want to recreate on your wedding day.
The goal isn’t simply to decide on a hairstyle and lipstick.
It’s to walk away knowing what makes you feel confident.
AFTER THE PREVIEW
I’ll keep notes and photos from our session so we have a clear plan going into your wedding morning. I think its best for you to follow up with how you felt in your look in an email so I can update my notes to any adjustments you highlight from wearing your look.
