Previews..Previews..Previews..Design Visage

Posted in Bridal hairstyles and hair accessories, Bridal Previews

Lots of previews lately……all the girls are coming to get more beautiful. I am sure I have stated this before, but the preview is sooooo important for both the bride and hairstylist. DO not try and save money on this part of your wedding. You need to decide prior to the wedding how you will style your hair, what color lips you like, lashes, no lashes. We have a good time here at Design Visage during the week with all our brides. Getting to know you and the special details of your wedding. Come in…..you will not be disappointed.

This is Noelle….isn’t she beautiful…we forgot to get the before…..so here is the after. Her wedding is October 16th…will be here before you know it.

This is our sweet Lordes. She is getting married in August, although we have had the pleasure of seeing her a few times for engagement photos, her shower…it has been great.

Lordes has to decide between the up or half up……what do you think? The wedding will be at the Jonathan Club in Santa Monica.

Lordes chose to take advantage of Design Visage’s rent a headpiece….she will wear this beautiful piece for a fraction of the cost……check it out.

We are seeing lots of brides for their previews. I will have to say that this may be a year of less weddings, but the brides are the nicest we have seen in years…..not a Bridezilla yet…yea 09.

This is Elisabeth, she is getting married this week-end. She is such a beautiful girl, the make-up just accented her natural beauty….isn’t that the goal?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Elisabeth is getting married at the beautiful Estancia La Jolla….we will post the wedding pics soon.

This is Christine, she is getting married at the stunning new Pelican Hill in a few weeks.

This is the inspiration look for Christine. She has the perfect hair for this style.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Kerrie Underhill of Platinam Weddings is the coordinator for this event…so you know it will be fantastic.

 

 

This is Ashley…..her wedding was last Sunday May 3rd on the Newport Yachts. These shots were Thursday for her preview. She had been up since 3a.m. driving over 8 hours to the Newport Beach destination. Pretty cute for being sooo tired.

Happy Tuesday, this is the busiest day of the week for Design Visage, since we have been out in the field on the week-end…..so lots of phone conversation. Although I am very lucky, Michelle is the operations manager so chances are when you call you will speak with her. And if you already have I am sure you two had a laugh together…she is so fun!

Today I am going to show you the most important part of our services…the “preview”. This is the time you will spend a few hours with your artist getting it perfect. One of the best parts of working with a Design Visage professional is that you can say what you like, and what you do not like…it’s all about you. This is your wedding day and we are here to help you get what you want with our valuable recommendations. You won’t be disappointed. Let’s take a look at a few previews from last week.

This is Doris. Her big day is next week-end at the spectacular Crystal Cathedral. If you not seen this beautiful church…..take a trip to Garden Grove and take a look. Doris is a very pretty girl without make-up. We applied a few shades of browns on the lid with a dramatic liner (makes her eyes pop) lips and cheeks very natural dark rose tones. Her hair will be half up half down. This is great style on Doris. Although during the preview her artist noticed that in order for the style to stay all day, Doris will need to layer her hair a bit. This takes some of the weight and helps the staying power. No problem Design Visage scheduled a special cut with Heather to layer a bit. Great that you do not have to worry about that infamous too short haircut the week of your wedding. We work with brides everyday and know just the right amount. This photo is the inspiration used for Doris’ look.

 

Doris is taking advantage of our “borrow a veil” program. She chose a designer veil to take for a week….can’t beat that.

Now we have Kari. She is getting married at Casa Del Camino in Laguna Beach. This boutique hotel was built in 1927 as a retreat for Hollywood Stars. Kari wanted a modern take on a vintage look. This was the inspiration:

 

Dosen’t Kari look Old Hollywood Chic……we will be sure to post a picture of the actual day in the gown. Bye

Renewing the Vows

Posted in Bridal Previews

 Heika Mader came to the salon for her hair and make-up preview. She found Design Visage on the Ritz Carlton Dana Point referral list. She has been married for 5 years, but they never had a reception…..so to the Ritz it is!

This is the inspiration picture for Heike’s hairstyle. She had her eyebrows tinted prior to the preview by our Esthetitician Adreinne. This is a fantastic service for we light hair girls….wake up with eyebrows. The dress Heike will be wearing is a sleek gold gown, so she was looking for more of an evening look. Her artist did a simple french twist with her pretty blond hair. Make-up was a dramatic liner with shimmery gold lids and cheeks. Topped off with a natural lip tone lipstick and gloss…… look how it makes her beautiful blue eyes pop…….so sexy.

WOW dosen’t Heika look great. Here you will see the french twist adorned with a beautiful comb of gold, silver and pearl from our own Bridalmode. Can’t wait to see the event…..we will post the pictures.
