PREVIEW SESSION APPOINTMENTS

*Full details are sent to each of our brides booked, prior to your private session, and alongside
a Beauty + styling consultation form*

• A Preview Session for the Bride, is highly recommended for all Bridal bookings.  Sessions are included with all our main Bridal Beauty options, and as such they are offered at further savings to our brides!
  
  
• Preview Sessions will give the client and artist a time to discuss and develop the perfect wedding day look, as well as go over a number of other details pertaining to your specific event.
  
  
• Preview Sessions for our Brides run approximately 1.5 - 3 hours  (Based on their beauty services booked)  
  
  
• Sessions are recommended and typically done at 8-12 weeks prior to your event date, and once all your final details
  (Firm Timelines, Locations, Accessories, Dress, etc) are in place.
  
  
• Sessions are designed and dedicated, private one-on-one time for each of our Brides. Sessions are meant for the purpose of doing a full image and beauty run through, of your chosen wedding day look, complete with all your accessories. So that we can work out any and all details prior to your event.
  
  *Bonus: We highly recommend our brides schedule a Dress "try on" or fitting, following their beauty appointment. This further allows each bride to see their vision, from head to toe.
  
  
• All Sessions are done at our location (Chilliwack)
  Monday to Thursday only - 9am to 5 pm.
  Mobile options are available for select days/times, based on our bookings. Additional fees apply for on-location sessions.
  
  

• Please bring all your accessories, jewelry, and/or hair pieces/veils you are planning to wear on the wedding day.
  
  
• Please arrive with a freshly cleaned face. Please do not put any products on your face except a non-SPF moisturizer.
  
  
• We encourage you to bring pictures of beauty that you love, but please keep in mind, not all pictures would be ideal on your face shape, skin tone etc. Beware of highly digital/filtered photos, as they often do not offer a realistic vision, nor show the appropriate scope of actual colors due to blurring/filters.  We will do our very best to create the most complimentary look customized for you, while including all your favorite things. As professionals, we will give you our best opinion. A good tip to keep in mind is to find hair and makeup pictures on people that have similar hair texture, skin tone, face shape, etc.
  
  
• Please arrive with your hair cleaned and completely dry.
  Avoid products and any heat styling tools after washing + prior to appointments. Working with your hairs texture, in its natural form, allows us to control and accommodate it as needed, for better results.
  
  
• We highly encourage you to wear a top similar to the color of your wedding dress (white, nude, cream, etc) please avoid wearing colors (reds, blues, etc)
  
  This offers the most realistic viewing and will help you envision how you will look on your wedding day, and to ensure you love how it all comes together.
  
  
• A tank top or T shirt is ideal for getting beauty services done.
  Please avoid items with high collars and/or hoods.

BOOKING DETAILS

• (For non booked clients) Booking a general Preview session appointment, does NOT guarantee a booking, nor does it hold your wedding date - if you opt for a trial before booking. We do no reserve or hold a date on our calendar until a retainer and signed contract is received.
  
  
• All wedding dates are booked on a first come basis. Secured only with a Bridal contract AND Retainer.
  
  
• If your session is booked too far in advance from your actual wedding date; A secondary, proper session pertaining to your date(s) and/or based on styling needs, may be required (Additional fees apply) Especially if you do not have all your details in place yet for your artists to work accordingly and customize your beauty services with us. Example: Final accessories pertaining to your look, dress details, growing your hair out for the next year, etc.
  
  
• If you prefer to try your look before booking, please be aware that your event date is not guaranteed. In many cases your wedding date can and will book before you may have your session appointment. The majority of brides do book their choice vendors upfront.
  
  
• You will be offered a 24 hour courtesy notice, should another bride wish to book your date upfront, as most commonly done. Should you opt to not move forward with securing your date/services, your date will go to the other client, and your preview session would then be cancelled.  
  
  
•  If you love your look at the end of your session, be prepared to sign a contract on the day of your session. Since we do not hold wedding dates without contract and retainer, be ready to make a decision at the end of your service. 
  
  
•  If you decide to book after this session has been completed, outside of our courtesy 24 hour hold;  assuming that your event date is still open, the session fee does not get credited to the total booking amount, and will now be considered a standard appointment booking.
