Makeup: The best way to achieve your beauty goals to help you look and feel your absolute best on your wedding day starts the day you get engaged! Get your skin in tip top shape, and hydrate from the inside out are the two most important parts of makeup ~ it’s all about the skin!  if you skin in flawless everything else falls into place; and remember you always want to choose a classic timeless look that you will love on your wall for the next 60+ years, not a trend.

Hair: The best way to achieve your beauty goals for hair includes a nutritious diet, plenty of water ~ but really know what you want for your hairstyle before going into your trial.  Don’t think you have to have the most elaborate or a style that isn’t you ~ your groom is marrying you because he already loves you ~ pick an elevated version of yourself and you will feel like you.

There are several keys to achieving your beauty goals. The first, meet your hairstylist and makeup artist before the wedding to make sure you connect personally and aesthetically. Feeling comfortable and confident with your lead artists is invaluable, and an in-depth preview session before the wedding is the time to make that connection. The second, book your lead artists for touchups at least to the ceremony. A lot happens between your ready time and your ceremony. You’ll love having your artists with you through first look portraits, pre-ceremony portraits with your bridal party/family, and a final touchup up just before the ceremony.
