Deposits for wedding make ups?

[SallyGirlJojo]

What do you make up geeks do for wedding make ups in terms of bookings?

Do you take a trial first and then take a deposit for the wedding?

Or do you booking for the wedding date and then do trial later on?

I'm actually quite new to this, I've had 2 brides who came for trials, were happy, (well, it seemed so!) and then I have saved their wedding dates for them to completely blank me...

Want to see what you geeks do!

I charge £90. The trial is £50 and this secures the date for the wedding as well then they pay £40 on the day. It's always worked as they're paying more for the trial x

£400 seems crazy! Does she just do one look? I know someone who earns that from weddings where there are lots of different ceremonies needing different looks. X
