How to Prepare for Your Bridal Hair & Makeup Trial in Vero Beach

Tips from an Award-Winning Beauty Team That Knows the Treasure Coast Inside & Out

So you’ve booked your bridal glam team (yay!) and now it’s time to schedule your hair and makeup trial in Vero Beach. Whether your wedding will be beachfront, at a lush garden venue, or tucked away at a private estate, your trial is the perfect chance to bring your vision to life—and ensure everything holds up beautifully in Florida’s heat and humidity.

At Lustre Chic Beautique, we’ve glammed up hundreds of brides across the Treasure Coast, and we know exactly how to help you walk into your trial feeling confident and prepared.

Here’s everything you need to know before sitting in the glam chair.

1. Bring Inspo Photos—But Be Open

Pinterest is your best friend here. Come with photos of makeup styles and hairstyles you love—but also be open to tweaks based on your face shape, hair texture, dress neckline, and the weather on your big day in Vero Beach.

Pro tip: Save photos of looks created on models with a similar complexion and hair type to yours—that gives the most realistic expectations.

2. Know Your Venue & Vibe

Are you getting married at Costa d’Este with salty air and beach breezes? Or at Waldo’s Secret Garden where you’ll be surrounded by whimsical greenery? Your location influences everything from hairstyle selection to makeup durability.

Share your venue details and ceremony time with your artist so they can tailor your trial look accordingly.

3. Wear the Right Top

Wear a white or ivory top with a similar neckline to your wedding dress—this helps you envision the full look more accurately. A tank, robe, or strapless top is perfect.

4. Arrive with Clean, Dry Hair & a Fresh Face

Please arrive with clean, dry hair to your bridal hair and makeup trial in Vero Beach—ideally washed the night before. Unless your artist directs otherwise, avoid arriving with wet or flat-ironed hair.

For your skin, arrive with a clean, moisturized face (no makeup, no mascara). If you’re breakout-prone or oily, let us know—we’ll adjust the products accordingly. Avoid heavy SPF or oily moisturizers that could interfere with makeup application.

5. Bring Accessories (If You Have Them)

If you already have your veil, hairpieces, earrings, or any bridal accessories, bring them along! We’ll help you test how the full look comes together.

Still waiting on those final touches? No worries—you can always send us a photo after the trial and we’ll note adjustments for the wedding day.

6. Speak Up—This Is the Time to Make Changes

Your trial is the perfect opportunity to give honest feedback. Want a darker lip? More lashes? A looser bun? Say it!

This appointment is all about finding the exact balance between what you think you want and what actually feels best once you see it on your face. We're here to collaborate—not take anything personally.

7. Schedule Your Trial at the Right Time

We recommend scheduling your bridal trial 3–6 months before your wedding, ideally before your final dress fitting. This gives you time to tweak your skincare routine, grow out hair if needed, or decide if you want a second look for your reception.

Our Fort Pierce studio is just a short drive from Vero Beach and offers the perfect relaxed, professional environment for trials. Don’t worry—our team can also arrange for on-location trials in the Vero area when needed.

8. Embrace the Experience

Your bridal trial is not just an appointment; it’s an experience. Take a moment to enjoy the process. Relax and let the professionals work their magic.

Remember, this is your time to shine. Enjoy the pampering and the excitement of preparing for your big day.

Final Thoughts

Your bridal trial isn’t just about hair and makeup—it’s about feeling like the best version of yourself. And in a place like Vero Beach, where the ocean air meets laid-back luxury, your look should reflect that effortless elegance.

We’d love to bring your dream look to life.
