How do I make sure my hair & makeup will be good??

i'm in the same boat - thinking about having a MAC bridal session before i go so i can be my own backup makeup artist!

I agree with the other ladies go to Mac or Sephora and have a makeup trial. One to see the colors that will look good with your skin tone, eye color, etc. I also think that you should do a hair trail at a salon just to get an idea of how you want to hair to look and make sure that the hair style you like will be something that you like

Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments and advice! It was extremely helpful.

 

Yesterday I went to a makeup lesson at Sephora. The consultation was "free" but they ask you to purchase $50 in makeup (which wasn't a problem.. I spent $250.. once in a lifetime thing, I guess.. :-)). The woman had some really good tips about different makeup. I brought in a picture of a celebrity with similar makeup to what I want, and she did my makeup similarly to that and told me everything she was doing/using in the process. Hopefully I can replicate at least some of it..

 

Thanks again everyone!!!
