hair and makeup
When I first got engaged, I spoke to some of my favorite artists to figure out a hair and makeup plan. At this point, you've picked out your dress and now, it's time for hair and makeup trials. Celeb Stylist, Ted Gibson and Makeup Artist, Mai Quynh weigh in.

If possible, book hair and makeup trials with two to three artists. This is your day and you need to feel confident with the way you look. Remember, they're going to be around you and your bridesmaids all day so personality matters almost as much as talent.
Hair
“Always bring a picture of yourself in your gown,” says celebrity stylist Ted Gibson. “It will help you and your stylist have a clear picture of how you want your complete look to flow on the big day.” I'm bringing inspirational images from the red carpet to my hair trials along with clip in extensions. Even if you don't wear extensions regularly, nows the time to add some hair as it always photographs thinner.
Makeup
Pictures say a thousand words. Make sure you have inspirational images of how you’d like your wedding day makeup to look. “You should look like you, but slightly enhanced,” explains celebrity makeup artist Mai Quynh. Now's not the time to try a new look. I have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to my wedding and there are lots of hair and makeup pictures on there in case you want to use them.
