The Veilroom morning

Skin first, then everything else. Made to last through crying, hugging and a ceilidh.

Soft waves, low buns and sleek updos, pinned to stay put under a veil.

The party

Mothers, bridesmaids and anyone else who wants to sit in the chair, up to six.

Touch-up bag

A small kit with your lip colour, powder and pins, handed to your bridesmaid at the door.

Words of love

"They arrived at half six with coffee for my mum. By nine there were seven of us ready and nobody had raised their voice."

Holly Mason

"I cried through the vows and the speeches and my make-up still looked like the trial photos at midnight."

Priya Shah

"The trial at my kitchen table was the calmest hour of the whole engagement."

Before your trial

Come with clean, dry hair
Washed the day before, no oil or serum. It holds pins far better.
Wear a white top
It shows us how the colours sit next to the dress.
Have the veil or headpiece ready
Even a photo helps, but the real thing tells us where the pins go.
We plan the morning together
Who sits first, when the photographer arrives, and where the kettle is.
