In this focused 30-minute session, you'll sit down with a Timba stylist to talk through your vision, your wedding theme, and the practical details, such as how many bridesmaids will need styling too. It's a low-pressure way to get expert input before committing to further bookings. ## What to Expect During your consultation, your stylist will: - Ask about your **wedding date, venue, and overall theme** to understand the context for your look - Discuss your preferred **style, colours, and inspiration**, so bring photos or mood boards if you have them - Gather details on your **bridal party size**, including bridesmaids, so timing and services can be planned properly - Talk through any **hair, skin, or comfort considerations** relevant to your styling - Outline realistic options based on your **preferences and schedule** You'll leave with a clearer sense of direction and an idea of what to book next, whether that's a trial, fitting, or treatment schedule. ## Who It Suits This consultation is ideal for: - Brides in the **early stages** of planning who want to explore ideas before committing - Those who already have a **fairly clear vision** and want expert confirmation - Brides who feel **unsure** and would benefit from guidance to narrow down their options - Anyone needing to plan styling for a **bridal party**, not just themselves Senior Stylist **Emma Stokes** is among the Timba team who can support this initial conversation, helping translate your ideas into a workable plan. ## Preparing for Your Visit A little preparation helps make the most of your 30 minutes: - Bring **inspiration images** or a mood board if you have one - Know the rough **number of bridesmaids** or bridal party members needing services - Have an idea of your **wedding date and venue** - Note any **allergies or sensitivities** relevant to hair or skin - Think about your **budget**, so recommendations stay realistic ## After the Consultation Once your consultation is complete, expect a short follow-up: - Confirmation of the **style direction** agreed during the meeting - Next steps, such as booking a **trial or fitting** - Any quotes or details for **bridal party services**, if discussed - The option to get in touch again if your plans change before the wedding [Book Online](https://book.thesalon.app/salons/5d037f92-0091-4453-941b-88ca6bf28bb5/book?service=6697b09d0cd13eb763473bde) ## Frequently Asked Questions How long does a bridal consultation take?
