Ahhh... I'm so glad to finally have these pictures of my hair and makeup trial. My "baby" cousin and bridesmaid, B was holding them hostage! She came down a few days prior to my shower to help with the planning and played photographer for these shots.
Here's the hideous before. Please, please don't mind the weird face. This is me with a bit longer hair and my low-key makeup.
The after {below} which turned out FABULOUS thanks to my stylist from college! Not only is she an uber-talented hairstylist/colorist, she is an excellent makeup artist as well. I am so so relieved she is available on our wedding day. I live in fear that something will come up and she won't be able to make it. She is awesome.
I showed her my inspiration photos and she loved them. I think the look she created {below} is just perfect. The face will be a bit darker the day of and the curl will be a smidge tighter. Plus, it won't be summer so the humidity won't pull it down or ruin the makeup.
What do you think? How did your makeup and/or hair trial go? Or did you go the DIY route for hair and makeup?

so pretty! I'm debating if I want to wear my hair up or down, and if I wear it down I want it to look just like that! Am a bit nervous the curl won't last through the night though, especially if it's a warm June day!

Love it! I had both my hair and makeup trials too and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. (Pics on the blog). So exciting!
