How to schedule a makeup trial for an out of state wedding

This restriction creates heavy anxiety over whether to skip the trial entirely or risk missing out on finding the right local vendor.

“i’m planning a wedding from a different state and trying to use mainly local vendors. how important is doing a makeup trial prior to the wedding? with our work schedule we can only do very occasional weekend trips, and likely wouldn’t be able to do a weekday trip to schedule the trial :/”source ↗
“Now I worry if I should have gone with wednesday instead or won't a day make much of a difference?”source ↗
