Short answer
Wear a top with a neckline similar to your wedding dress, or a plain button-up shirt. Avoid high collars and bulky jumpers, so you can see how the hairstyle works with your shoulders and neck.
The main goal is to see the hairstyle in context, so choose clothing that mimics your dress as closely as possible. If your dress has a sweetheart neckline, wear a top with a similar shape. If it is strapless, wear a strapless bra or top. If your dress has a high neck or sleeves, wear something with that coverage. A plain colour, ideally white or ivory, helps you picture the overall look without distraction. Avoid anything with a high collar, hood or chunky knit, as these can hide the hairline and the nape of your neck. Also avoid loud patterns, as they can draw your eye away from the hair. If you have your wedding shoes, you could bring them, but they are not essential. You might also bring a lipstick or lip balm that matches your wedding day shade, so you can see the full effect. Remember that you will be sitting for a while, so wear something comfortable. And do not wear a hat or headband, as that will flatten your hair before the stylist starts.
