The Do’s and Don’ts of Bridal Hair Trials

Collaboration, Experimentation

Your bridal hair trial is one of the most exciting parts of wedding planning — it’s when your vision starts coming to life! But it can also feel a little overwhelming if you’re not sure how to prepare or what to expect. As a Savannah bridal hairstylist, I always remind my brides that the trial is all about collaboration, experimenting, and finding the perfect style for you. To make the most of your experience, here are my top do’s and don’ts for a stress-free and successful hair trial.



Pinterest and Instagram are amazing for inspiration, but every bride has unique hair type, texture, and length. Instead of aiming for an exact replica, we’ll use those photos as a starting point and then customize a style that flatters you perfectly.



Don’t: Expect an Exact Copy

Good luck on your beauty journey!

Wearing something in a similar shade to your dress (white, ivory, or champagne) helps you envision how your hairstyle will look against your wedding gown. It makes a big difference in how polished the overall look feels!



Do: Wear White or Light Colors

Your hairstyle needs to last for hours of hugging, dancing, and celebrating. If something feels too tight, heavy, or uncomfortable at your trial, let me know. The goal is for you to look stunning and feel at ease all day long.



Don’t: Forget About Comfort

Veils, hairpieces, flowers, or tiaras — if you’re planning to wear it, bring it! Testing your accessories during the trial ensures they work seamlessly with your chosen style and are securely fastened.

Do: Bring Your Accessories

Your bridal hair trial is about so much more than just testing a hairstyle — it’s about building trust, creating a look that feels authentic, and ensuring you feel completely confident on your wedding day. With the right preparation and an open mind, your trial will be an exciting and joyful step in your bridal journey.


Reflection

Save photos of styles you’re drawn to — whether it’s elegant updos, romantic waves, or sleek buns. Even if they’re not exactly what you want, they give me a clear idea of your aesthetic and help us find a look that feels right for you.



Do: Bring Inspiration Photos
