Scott Robert Photography/Wedding Hair and Make-Up/Lovely Christina

This wedding was a few years ago, although I remember Christina , she was one of the sweetest brides ever, and beautiful. Her photos are so fantastic I could have chosen so many. Scott Robert Photography  outdid himself on these….christinadaniel_015

After the wedding Christina wrote a very nice comment on the Wedding Bee about Design Visage and her DV artist Dana.  Thanks Christina…..

I went with an Orange-county based company called Design Visage, that specializes in on-site wedding hair and makeup in the Southern California area. They have a team of about twelve stylists, all which have had a ton of experience! I loooooved my artist, Dana… She was absolutely amazing when it came to both make-up and hair, and I just absolutely loved loved loved not only her work but also just her friendly and warm personality! And from what I hear from other brides, their entire team is like that!

What was also great was just how responsive, accommodating, and on top of things they were. While I’ve been lucky to have had pretty great vendors for the most part, there were definitely a few that kept me hanging or rarely returned calls (which I ultimately ding-ed). Plus, planning a wedding in LA from Northern California put some constraints on my calendar. Given my challenges in scheduling and just in finding a stylist who could really deliver, it was a blessing and just refreshing to finally find Design Visage. I truly felt like a beautiful bride. In fact, after seeing my hair and makeup, one of my bridesmaids immediately hired Design Visage for her own August wedding at the request of her fiance!

Thank you SO MUCH, Dana and Design Visage, for making me really feel sobeautiful on what was truly one of the bestest special-est days of my life! I can’t thank you enough! smiley10102

This is the photo that Christina took with Dana at the preview.

Wedding Hairstyle:

Christina wanted a halfup do…very soft and sexy…so that is what we did. Christina has perfect hair so it was a good choice.

Wedding Make-Up

Natural Natural Natural was the key to Christina look, although if you read my blog you know that natural does not mean no make-up…..natural colors that compliment and bring out the eyes and skin tone.

The St Regis  Monarch Beach has some incredible photo opportunities…..

 Bridal Hairstyle:

Venice chose such a flattering and fun hairstyle and her Design Visage Artist Heather created the best do! This style is easy…especially if you have beautiful hair like Venice (don’t fret…we can add extensions if you have fine hair like I do!)

  • First Heather curled and set all of Venice’s lovely locks
  • Finger brush the cooled curls and pull to the slight side in a loose pony.
  • The bangs…very important part..a side part with a bit of hairspray and a good iron to keep them in place…but soft. This entire look is soft..romantic
  • Lastly the finishing touch a feathery flower from Bridalmodejust perfect.

Wedding Make-Up:

  • Eyes were created with a coppery brown contour and a charcoal liner..interesting combination but it works and well
  • lashes lashes lashes
  • lips and cheeks are called sweetie..perfect name for a rose tone
  • gloss gloss gloss

Wedding Hairstyle

  • Lynne has great hair….long and full and like many brides wanted a soft half updo. So Dana ( her Design Visage artist) used a 1 1/2 iron to do loose curles all over.
  • After the hair cools….Dana took loose pieces from the sides and created a bridal hairstyle in the back
  • The overall look in so natural, although elegant and the fact that there is a part up, the hairstyle will look good all night
  • Dana did a elegant swoop bang for the front of Lynne’s bridal hairstyle.

Wedding Make-Up:

  • Lynn is so darn cute….the make-up just added a touch….Dana started with a mineral foundation and powder….sheer with staying power
  • Shadow color was a canvass all over the lid, contour pink brown (this is the best best color to contour without looking made up) topped off with a sable liner and matching shadow to smoke out the liner and corners of the eye (don’t forget the brow shaper)
  • the final touch was a heather pink lip with a sweetie gloss…a very natural pink…this creates a very natural lip tone that is the color of Lynne’s lips…just a bit darker….
