Tattoo Brides

I just came across this great site…..off beat brides….I love it….so many fun fun brides and looks, we do not see much of this in the O.C., although if you are a future bride and love one of these looks and plan to do an offbeat look….please call Design Visage,  The first one to call, we will do your hair and make-up free….yes free.

I remember years ago, more than 20 when a bride had a tattoo, she would quietly ask us to cover it. And it was typically about the size of a quarter…or a bit bigger….wow have times changed. Now it is part of the bridal look……..take a look at this art:

How fun was that? The creativity on the bridal hair and make-up was interesting, and great to see that we are not all alike…..viva la difference!!

Lauren was Roya’s Design Visage artist. We had the pleasure of seeing Roya many times prior to the wedding. For the engagement photos, a engagement party and she had Lauren cut her hair and condition it so it was healthy and shinny for the wedding….it certainly shows.

Roya is a lovely girl with all the natural beauty you could desire. To enhance that, Lauren added some extensions to her hair and eyelashes. The  bridal make-up choice was natural eyes, some deep rusty tones with browns to bring out Roya’s amazingly large eyes and to top it off, a bold lip color….just perfect.fohrw_2005

My husband said he wanted to have a relationship with a redhead, so I dyed my hair.

Style Unveiled LA…our Bride Laura

I love love love it when we see our brides published. Often we do not even know it until another vendor publishes it and we then see it our bride as well. That is how it happened in this case, our good friend Nili at Rancho Las Lomas posted this on Facebook. I contacted the photographer Jeffrey Neal of JNP Studios……….He is going to send us some of the shots for a later post, although in the meantime let’s see Laura and Scott.

Lauren was the talented Design Visage artist for Laura’s look. Laura is naturally a beautiful girl with perfect hair. The decision for her look was natural curls for her hair and an all down style. As I mentioned, Laura has great hair and a lot of it. This is how this style can be successful for a wedding hairstyle. Her  bridal make-up was a little more bold. Very natural colors….browns and golds although applied with a stonger pallet to give a smoky eye and overall glamerous style.

Thank you Laura for choosing Design Visage.
