Trash the Dress Suggestions Needed

We are doing a TTD session next Saturday.  It will be at a local park and hopefully the snow won't be entirely melted.  I am having a friend from college do it (rather than my wedding photog) and she has researched a lot of snow ideas!

My question is: What in the world should I do with my hair and makeup?

My hair is several inches below my shoulders and I usually just wear it straight.  My makeup day to day is usually enough to make me look awake.  So I guess I am looking for ideas on how dramatic I should go for this.

Re: Trash the Dress Suggestions Needed

  • If it were me, I'd do something edgier - bolder makeup and do your hair completely different than your wedding day.  Maybe add some funky colorful accessories like a hair fascinator, a cardigan, or chunky necklace/earrings.  Especially, if there's still snow on the ground.  The color would be a nice "pop".  (yeah, I said it! LOL)

    Are you using any props?

  • I agree with Brooke.  If you wore your hair up for the wedding, then I'd probably wear it down, and probably (if it were me), put lots of curls in it.

     Make-up, I'd do more dramatic than your day-to-day routine.  If you have the opportunity, I'd go to a local mall/store and have the makeup counter do it.

  • I agree with the other ladies, go dramatic with your look.  Ohhh I can't wait to see the pics!

  • Definitely go bold and edgy.  I think that's what makes TTD's special, and makes them look like TTD's and not just bridal portraits.
