It’s a hard choice.

Sonia is just stunning.

Lauren, Sonia’s Design Visage stylist had fun on this look.

A few months Sonia got married. We had such a great time. What a fun bride………and person.

Wedding Make-Up:

Lauren, Sonia’s Design Visage artist went with pallet of the tones of the dress… she incorporated these tones in the shadows, blush and lips tones.

Golds and smoky tones to bring out the eyes, lots of liner and lashes.

With all that eye……Lauren and Sonia decided on a natural lip.

Wedding Hairstyle:

Sonia wanted to be able to see some of the hair, so Lauren did a side bang and to give a lift to the heavy headress, Lauren used a “bump it”. It gave a lift to the style, and Sonia loved it.

 Stay tuned for the next blog………Lauren returned the next day for Sonia’s big reception and a completely different hair and make-up look

We met Diane a few years ago when we did her sister Dana’s wedding hair and make-up. Both Dana and Diane were featured in Ceremony Magazine.

Dana of Design Visage was Diane’s artist and what a fun bride to make beautiful, or should I say more beautiful.

The Barnets of Barnet Photography did an amazing  job with the photos…….as always. And the girls from Details Details organized the day.

The Beverly Hills Hotel was the location for the big day.

Both Diane and Ben went to USC, therefore the band at the reception was perfect.

But seems the Design Visage girls leave, but they always return.

Lauren did an amazing bridal hair and make-up look on Heather. Take a look:

It was fun hearing about all the details while Heather was planning….although you never really until you see it…..beautiful. Heather planned this wedding in less than 2 months. It was perfect.

Lauren had fun with Heather’s wedding make-up. Since Heather is a hair and make-up artist, she is very comfortable with a dramatic look:

* As you can see this look is all about the lashes. I believe they have two strips on each eye. It looks so romantic.

* The shadow is very smokey, with hews of plums and greys. Perfect for Heather’s blue eyes.

* Eyes and Lips are a soft tone of corals to blend with the fantastic flowers on her dress

 

Wedding hairstyle:

* Heather’s retro hairstyle was created with a few wefts of hair extensions and a creative team of Lauren and Heather.

* Many brides would not be comfortable with such a large hairstyle, but not Heather, she loved it.

*Lauren created a smooth updo with large irons and a smoothing comb.

I actually attneded this wedding and it was amazing. Thanks to Heather’s Cousin Amelia Lyon Photography for the awesome photos. Heather also took advantage of the Design Visage “borrow a veil” and she found all the hair accessories on Bridalmode.

Now this looks like a very fun wedding.

Seems like a Las Vegas Show…so beautiful.

This is a great shot of Mariam’s Wedding Hair  by Design Visage

Many brides have Design Visage return after the wedding to change the hairstyle for the reception. It is a great way to have to looks on one day. Mariam choose a stunning hairpiece from Bridalmode to accessorize the updo. This is a popular style, it is very sexy and soft and yet comfortable for dancing.

I have to say this was a memorable wedding, along with a memorable bride….thank you Mariam for choosing Design Visage for your bridal beauty.

She has the entire package, style, beauty, and smarts.

She was having difficulty finding a bridal hairstylist that shared her vision for her bridal look….fortunately Barnet Photography gave her the Design Visage number and the rest is beauty history.

Yes Mariam is stunning….although Barnet Photography did a rockin job on the photography (they always do)………


Dana, Miriam’s Design Visage artist outdid herself on this look….don’t you agree?

The cute warm up suit Miriam purchased on Bridalmode...our accessory wedding site….go see all the fun….

Dress was absolutely fantastic….

You have to admire the detail in Mariam’s hair…just as fantastic as the dress.

Next post is the party….and did they ever have a party…..tune in to see the reception of a lifetime…you have to tune into the Iranian Ceremony.

Sheri Wade Photography did amazing work…….

I love Rachel’s style…look at the fantastic bow with color and bling….love love it!!

Wedding Hairstyle:

  • Lauren was Rachel’s Design Visage artist….they decided to create a romantic half up half down hairstyle
  • This style is most successful if you have thick hair….and Rachel has wonderful hair
  • Lauren curled the entire back with a 1 1/2 iron and set it. After the hair was cool, Lauren lightly placed the hair in a tosseled natural look
  • The very important front was softly pulled back and lightly pinned to create a soft look and shows off Rachel’s lovely face

Melody Walker of Events by Melody Walker organized the day and as always it went off with a hitch…..It is so nice when we work wilth wedding coordinators….the wedding always runs so smoothly and the brides is always on time….  Rachel took advantage of our “Borrow a Veil” service and save a lot of cash…..


The wedding was at the beautiful Surf and Sand Hotel in Laguna….This Hotel is RIGHT on the sand and has the most amazing view and sunset….if you are looking for a location for your wedding…check it out.

Rachel wrote such a nice review on Project Wedding for Design Visage..I had to share:

All I can say is Wow! I had an amazing experience with Design Visage. The price was VERY reasonable, especially being able to borrow a veil(for a bride on a budget, this was AMAZING)

Lauren was my artist and was such a pleasure to work with. I have a permanent straightener on my hair which does not allow my hair to hold any kind of style ever….but Lauren made it happen. My hair held up with curls! all night…All of my bridesmaids looked beautiful, even my maid of honor who was insistent on doing her own hair quickly changed her mind when she saw Lauren’s work.

Thank you so much for making me and all my girls look beautiful on the wedding day!

I will be recommending Design Visage!

Rachel

  • Bangs Bangs…lot’s of blond bangs…so cute

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.
