Next Exit Photography/Wedding Hair and Make-Up/Graystone Manner

You may remember Leanne, our ballerina….refresh your memory with this post.

Well here are the wedding photos, and I have to say I am not sure I have ever seen a happier bride. Smile Smile Smile.  Next Exit  Photography did an amazing job of capturing the emotions.

 Bridal Hairstyle:

  • Leanne has a lot of soft fine hair and she wanted to wear it in a half updo, so Dana her Design Visage artist curled all her hair and softly pinned pieces up on the side.
  • Dana finger brushed the curls and added fresh flowers, 2 on one side and one on the other..beautiful

Bridal Make-up:

  •  To bring out Leanne’s pretty brown eyes, Dana applied soft plums in a contour and on the lid, a little shimmer on the brow bone with a cream tone
  • Lips and blush were a rosy rose tone, this accuented Leanne’s lovely skin tone….just enough is the key

Tattoo Brides

I just came across this great site…..off beat brides….I love it….so many fun fun brides and looks, we do not see much of this in the O.C., although if you are a future bride and love one of these looks and plan to do an offbeat look….please call Design Visage,  The first one to call, we will do your hair and make-up free….yes free.

I remember years ago, more than 20 when a bride had a tattoo, she would quietly ask us to cover it. And it was typically about the size of a quarter…or a bit bigger….wow have times changed. Now it is part of the bridal look……..take a look at this art:

How fun was that? The creativity on the bridal hair and make-up was interesting, and great to see that we are not all alike…..viva la difference!!

Design Visage/ Joe Photo/ Ceremony Magazine

A few years ago Design Visage teamed up with the very talented Joe Photo for a unique photo shoot that was published in Ceremony MagazineAs you will see Joe put much effort in the lighting and feeling of these shots. It was a pleasure to work with him. You can find many of these photos in our publicity section. Although, I feel these photos are due another look…..with a better resolution…..enjoy

I hope you enjoyed the photos…we did

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.
