Hair and Makeup Trial

This past week, I had my hair and makeup trial with Baltimore Bridal. Jamie and Megan are both super sweet, and I think they created a wedding day look that suits me and definitely plays off of my inspiration pictures. Here are a few of the pictures I showed them before being done up. :)

Hair Inspiration: a low, loose updo a la Carrie Underwood. Our ceremony is outside, and I don't want to deal with worrying about my hair blowing in my face or curls in my hair falling out if I leave it down. Wearing it all up just makes life easier...plus, Brian loves my hair up. Just a bonus. :)

Makeup Inspiration: I didn't really know what to describe to Megan, but I loved these pictures...

Apparently I was feeling very inspired by Carrie. :)

My hair and makeup trial took place at Megan's in-home studio about 20 minutes from my house. Altogether, the trial for both parts of the look took about two hours. I got home in time to take some pictures in natural light and look back at them to see how I felt about them. Aside from a couple of minor tweaks, I am really happy with how everything turned out! You'll have to excuse my pictures, as it is pretty difficult to take decent pictures of the back of your own head. The day of, I'll also be sporting a set of fake lashes that do not appear here...I'm a bit nervous about them, but they did look awesome! It feels totally vain posting so many pictures of just my face and head, but it is what it is! :)

The last picture is with the hair flowers that I will be switching my veil out for during the reception. They are the Kate hair flowers from the Etsy seller AmieNoelDesigns. Love them!

Everything is really starting to come together, and it gets crazier every day. Three weeks from today we'll be married! :)
