• Nicole chose a half up hairstyle. DV Dana curled all her hair and set it for about 1/2 hour to make sure the curl would hold. She the let it out and gently finger brushed it out while adding hiegth to the crown with a bit of back combing and a few sturdy bobby pins.
• DV Dana started with a light mist of airbrush foundation followed by rose lips and cheeks. For N

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

We feel close to Venice, since she visited Design Visage many times prior to the wedding for facials and extra beauty services.

Isn’t she gorgeous!  And kudos goes to Lane at  Amy Squires Photography for the fantastic photos…yea Lane….

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 Bridalmode…just 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

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.

I am a sucker for the father/daughter photos….is this touching….

Venice wins so far this year with the best shoes…………

Let”s thank the team:

“I love her and that’s the beginning of everything.” 

 F. Scott Fitzgerald

Our motto is “if you just half way “love it” on the preview, you will love it love it on the wedding day”. Why is this? The preview you typically are wearing casual clothes. On the wedding, when you put the dress, hair jewelry, and jewelry on…..it all pulls together and is just perfect.

Design Visage is proud to help all these brides look beautiful on their weddings…..of course wedding photos to come!

So last week when we received the information that our bride was featured on the wedding chicks we were thrilled….let’s take a look and I will make sure we get more photos of the wedding to show you all…..

 The side pony is a romantic bridal hairstyle

Naomi I believe you were right……look at that fantastic hairstyle….brava Michelle (her DV artist).

Once again I want to thank Ryan Phillips Photography. We so loved being a part of Naomi’s wedding. The best part though, is that we get to see Naomi often as we beautify her brides. Thanks DNT Elite Events we love your brides.

If rain drops were kisses,I could send you showers. if hugs were seas i send you oceans. and if love was a person i send you me!!

Both the bride and her handsome groom, Cheng-han, are Internists. I think its wise for doctors to marry doctors….they can actually appreciate the schedule and responsibility of the career. Victoria’s dad is a OBGYN in the Newport Beach area so she comes from a family of medicine.

One of our favorite people coordinated the wedding Naomi Takahashi of D.N.T. Elite events along with her two partners Deanna and Tiffany. We actually had the pleasure of helping Naomi look beautiful for her wedding last year. Sae Lee was kind to send us the lovely photography. They were a sensational team of artists, along of course with Design Visage.

The wedding was held on May 16th at the Trump National Golf Club. Lets start with the engagement photos that were shot in San Diego by  Sae Lee Photography, and beauty by Design Visage….then on to the wedding.

 Heather, Victora’s DV artist chose a very natural look for the engagement photos…especially since Victoria does not wear a lot of make-up on a daily basis. For the wedding Heather went more dramatic on the eyes with a plum/brown shadow and a soft rosy cheek and lip. Victoria’s hairstyle was a half up. Very clean from the front and the back has a surprise design, created with a loose curl and the rest of her hair down and curled.

Look at those lashes….only her make-up artist knows for sure. Naomi, the coordinator, said that Victoria and Cheng-han were one of the most genuine and considerate couples she has ever met. The wedding party organized a fun game at the reception called “Who Will”. It was a series of questions on who was going to do what in the marriage…ie who will do the laundry, take out the trash, wear the pants. Yea wedding party for the creative fun!

A least her doctor removed the cast, replacing it with a boot for the wedding…yea

For fun I think Sae Lee should have taken a shot of just one shoe…..a funny memory. Maybe for me. Although the improtant thing that I always say to our brides….the only truely important thing on the wedding day is that he and you show up and commit your lives together…the rest is just fluff.

Thank you Victoria…we loved adding you to our family of beautiful brides.

Heather, Kim’s Design Visage artist styled her hair in the stunning low, loose updo, with a soft bang…Kim loves long lush lashes, so thats what Heather did with a defined eyeliner and smoky eyes…..looks fantastic.

Marriage is that relation between man and woman in which the independence is equal, the dependence mutual, and the obligation reciprocal.

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.

This dress is amazing……all the lace is so feminine and flowy, and just look at those shoes….to die for!

The Photographer Scott Nelson ( a good freind of Design Visage) has a terrific special effect, I am not even sure what to call it, although it sure is fun.

Dana was Sachi’s artist and said it was a pleasure helping her look fantastic…because it was so easy. Sachi has beautiful skin and nice hair….just a little Design Visage magic. Thank you Sachi for letting Design Visage be a special part of your day.
