Beautiful Daniela from Bulgaria

April 25th we had the great pleasure of beautifying Daniela. She and Matt were married on a glorious day at the Balboa Bay Club. She choose a winning team of artists for the day….Design Visage, Events by Melody Walker the wedding coordinator, to organize it all, Marisa Holmes Weddings to capture the moments with lovely photography, and Elysium Productions to make the movie. WOW, A beautiful Southern California Wedding.

Daniela was born in Bulgaria and came to the United States when she was 18. She has the cutest accent, a very soft voice and sweet demeanor. She met Matt at work, they were friend for 6 months prior to going out on a date. This is a great way to start a relationship, friends first, since a marriage the the greatest friendship you will ever have.

I spoke to Daniela and she said the wedding day was perfect. They went off to Turkes and Caicos for the honeymoon and it was the time of their lives.

We had the chance to get to know Daniela very well…..Lauren (her DV artist) did her make-up and hair for the engagement photos and the rehearsal dinner. On the day Lauren and Heather beautified all the girls. Daniela’s wedding hairstyle was a loose updo adorned with rhinestone and pearls hair jewels she purchased from Design Visage’s Bridalmode.

She is such a beautiful girl

Love the shoes……shoes are very important

Thank you Daniela for inviting Design Visage to be a part of the beauty.

if i had to choose between loving you, and breathing. I would use my last breath to say I LOVE YOU.

Erica and a great team at the Balboa Bay Club

So excited to write about Erica…..What a great experience we had meeting Erica and her mom. The became a part of the Design Visage right away. And best of all Erica came in for 4 hair previews!!! And she loved them all. This is what happens when you look good in every hairstyle. Although Erica kept vacillating between up or down. Wait until you see the creative middle her artist Adrienne did….all up, but looks part down. Now Erica has fantastic hair but we added a bit more to give the fullness. Her final hair preview was 2 days prior to the wedding. She was in the salon for honeymoon waxing. it was so funny her mom suggested we bring 2 wigs so Erica could alternate hairstyles….so I could not wait to see the final choice. And I can depend on Bleu Cotton Photography to have the photos available less than 2 days after the event….you rock Blue. The photos are fantastic and this is just a teaser, when Blue Cotton Photography has the entire wedding available….we will post more…yea. My good friend Susan Mcdonald of SuMac Productions pulled the day together. And my other good friends Ashley Video Productions shot the film part of the day. O yes also Nisie from Enchanted Florest along with Design Visage at Balboa Bay Club. What a great team Erica…

Erica took advantage of Design Visage’s new ” rent a headpiece” program. She wore 2 stunning vintage hair combs from Paris by Debra Moorland. We will have to get clear shot in a future post. These pieces can also be purchased on Bridalmode,Design Visage’s premier wedding accessory site.

 

What a beautiful couple. Erica and Ronnie were childhood friends….guess it was meant to be!

Erica we Loved helping you look so outstanding. Thanks you for becoming a Design Visage beautiful bride.

 

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep… wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you’ re just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU… The one who turns to his friends and says, thats her…
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Patricia/Keith and Ryan Phillips Photography

We had so many fantastic brides last year, it is my pleasure to bring to you as many as I can get a hold of their photos. Some photographers make it so easy for us to grab a few and Ryan Phillips is wonderful. I was looking for some spectacular shoe shots ( for my ongoing bridal shoe show) and I came across Patricia. Wow she looks glorious.

Patricia and Keith were married at the elegant Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach September 6th, 2008.

Patricia is a classic beauty….so classic bridal beauty it was. Her Design Visage artist, Julia, applied warm brown and golds on the lid with a sable tone eyeliner…lips and cheeks natural rosy.  Patricia chose a straight half up style. I believe it was just perfect.

I love the color background….when Design Visage started in the wedding business 24 years ago, many of the shots of the bride and groom were in front of a fabric backdrop that was grey or some subtle blaw tone…..photograpy has become so creative.

Cute shoes……Thanks Ryan your artistry makes our brides look even more beautiful.
