Tattoo Encore

Encore of the fun photos of tatoo brides. Just look at the art on these girls. I found all these photos on offbeatbride.com . Design Visage did not do the hair and make-up for these brides…although I wish we did….

I really appriciate brides who think outside the box…maybe because I as well did not do the traditional. I met this “to die for” man in Italy when I was studying there many years ago. We had so much in common. Most importantly we both agreed on the importance of a commited relationship, although did not want to marry. Well as life has it, after he was here for 2 years…we could not longer dodge immigration. The attorney said marry by April 15th or he becomes an illegal~!!! wow so we did not even talk about it for a few months…well April came around and to spare all the details….we went to Las Vegas…I wore a black dress ( very stunning) and we did it all alone…we did not even tell our friends or family….he suggested the drive through Elvis ceremony, but I did draw the line there…..so here we are 12 years later…..happy, married…..without even 1 photo of the day. O yes we did confess to our families 5 years after the day!

What a pretty girl with such a natural bridal make-up choice.

Andrea and Eric

On June 21st of this year, Andrea and Eric were married. Yun from Cloud 9 Photography gave us all the lovely photos…..and my friend and fantastic coordinator April Whitney organized the day. Let’s take a look…..

A Rancho Las Lomas Angle/Wedding Hair and Make-Up/Palos Studios

Some brides and their family leave a lasting impression here at Design Visage. Lisa, her mom Toni and friends came to us many times prior to the wedding for pre wedding beauty. Facials, tans, body wraps. They were such a pleasure to have in the salon. Sometimes you hear that the vendors can not wait until a wedding is over….well this was just the opposite for DesignVisage. We know we will not be seeing the girls as often as before…..well enough about that …let’s get on with the details. First I must thank Palos Studio for the stunning photos…thank you thank you….secondly Jill Watson of the Pampered Bride. Do we just love when Jill organizes the brides day…..everything perfect….thank you thank you, and the location, well it does not get much better than Rancho Las Lomas. if you have not seen this location, do yourself a favor and do a look/see….simply beautiful.

Lisa is such a kind, gracious girl. She has this incredible natural curly dark hair, so it was a no brainer that Heather ( Lisa’s Design Visage artist) went with her hair and chose a bridal hairstyle that complimented the natural beauty of her hair. I do believe it was the right choice……

Now make-up was another thing…..Lisa is one of those lucky girls that can carry off a bit more color and it looks as if it were meant to be. The color of the year….eggplant, was the shadow color, with a strong rose lip, and blush to accent. And as you can see, Lisa has perfect skin and a contagious smile…..so how could we go wrong.

I do believe this was a fun wedding..thanks Lisa for letting Design Visage be a part of the memories.

Design Visage/Get Your Hankie Out for This One

I heard from the wedding coordinator…extraordinaire Lisa Simpson, that the bride and groom both sobbed when they saw each other prior to the wedding. Lisa of course was complimenting the Design Visage make-up application…its cry proof. Although when I saw these beautiful photos from OrangeTurtle Photography …I sobbed…..you can not fake this look….it is the look of pure love and joy to be getting married. Becky and Dastuni’s photos are my favorite so far in 09. Let’s see what you think.

and her, as she becomes his partner in life

It’s hard to even notice the hair and make-up with all that emotion going on. Never the less, let’s see what Lauren ( Design Visage artist) and Becky chose for her wedding beauty.

3773789519_cc6b05c469_o

Becky’s bridal hairstyle was a half updo adorned with a crystal flower from Design Visage’s Bridalmode. Lauren added hair extensions to add fullness and it also helps the style stay longer. Wedding make-up was sultry eyes and soft lips….don’t forget the eyelash extensions….the final touch.

Becky has a fun style about her….look at the dress…sassy red, and Dastuni’s red highlights….was it planned? Along with the blue girlie’s dresses….fun fun.
