What can I say about Alpha that you will not see immediately. She is absolutely gorgeous.
Jen was Alpha’s Design Visage artist and they spent several hours prior to the wedding trying at least 10 ten different hairstyles. The challenge for Alpha is that every style looked amazing. She also tried many different types of styles. In the end a classic bridal hairstyle and makeup was chosen and Jen returned after the ceremony to let Alpha’s lovely locks down and restyle her hair into a fun down bridal hairstyle.
Joe and Mirta Barnet, as always, recreated the day with the most fantastic photography. Alpha looks even better behind their camera! The setting was the Ritz Carlton in Dana Point, one of our favorite locations, and exquisitely organized by the talented Gail Garseau. When you have a team like this , you cannot go wrong.
The tea ceremony is such a lovely part of some of the Asian cultures.
Pink is back. You are going to see lots of pink in 2011, as well as lips and cheeks.
Alpha utilized Design Visage’s rent a headpiece and borrow a veil program. You can see this headpiece on Bridalmode.
Bridal Hairstyle: Jen used a 1 1/2 inch barrel curling iron and set Alpha’s hair. This was for the volume and gave Jen the ability style her hair with big ribbon curls. The front and sides were pulled back to show the ribbon headband. You have to have a beautiful face to be able to have the hair all off the face.
Bridal makeup: Jen wanted to enhance Alpha’s already perfect skin by adding a fresh dewy glow with mineral makeup. Jen used a peachy pink on the cheeks with a smoky eye using earth tones along with pinks highlighting inner corner of the eye and brow bone, which opens the eye area and adds a glow. Lips were a nude pouty pink. Topped with a sheer pink gloss.
Alpha looks like a princess here.
Thanks Alpha for letting Design Visage make you look like the princess you are……….

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….
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! 
This is the photo that Christina took with Dana at the preview.
This is my favorite shot……Bravo Scott Robert Photography
Christina looks so beautiful and happy in this photo
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.
Thank you Scott Robert Photography and Christina for a stunning post….

I LOVE everything about these photos of Venice….take a look at this St Regis Monarch Beach wedding:

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!)
Wedding Make-Up:
Wow look at Mom…..
This photo is amazing…was this to show off the perfect purple shoes…or was Venice having fun, or the idea of Amy Squires Photography…who ever, I think you will see many brides copying this pose.
