Barnet Photography/Ritz Carlton Dana Point/Wedding Hair and Make-up

What can I say about Alpha that you will not see immediately. She is absolutely gorgeous.


Jen was Alpha’s Design Visage artist and they spent several hours prior to the wedding trying at least 10 ten different hairstyles. The challenge for Alpha is that every style looked amazing. She also tried many different types of styles. In the end a classic bridal hairstyle and makeup was chosen and Jen returned after the ceremony to let Alpha’s lovely locks down and restyle her hair into a fun down bridal hairstyle.

Joe and Mirta Barnet, as always, recreated the day with the most fantastic photography. Alpha looks even better behind their camera! The setting was the Ritz Carlton in Dana Point, one of our favorite locations, and exquisitely organized by the talented Gail Garseau. When you have a team like this , you cannot go wrong.

The tea ceremony is such a lovely part of some of the Asian cultures.

Pink is back. You are going to see lots of pink in 2011, as well as lips and cheeks.

Alpha utilized Design Visage’s rent a headpiece and borrow a veil program. You can see this headpiece on Bridalmode.

Bridal Hairstyle: Jen used a 1 1/2 inch barrel curling iron and set Alpha’s hair. This was for the volume and gave Jen the ability style her hair with big ribbon curls. The front and sides were pulled back to show the ribbon headband. You have to have a beautiful face to be able to have the hair all off the face.

Bridal makeup: Jen wanted to enhance Alpha’s already perfect skin by adding a fresh dewy glow with mineral makeup. Jen used a peachy pink on the cheeks with a smoky eye using earth tones along with pinks highlighting inner corner of the eye and brow bone, which opens the eye area and adds a glow. Lips were a nude pouty pink. Topped with a sheer pink gloss.


Alpha looks like a princess here.

Thanks Alpha for letting Design Visage make you look like the princess you are……….

Barnet Photography/Wedding Hair and Make-Up/Details Details

Last year we were had the pleasure of  making Diane absolutely stunning for her wedding. 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.

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.

Design Visage in Print….Ceremony Magazine

We have been so lucky to have had brides featured in every Ceremony Magazine the the past 8 or more years. We are fortunate to work with the top photographers, coordinators and locations. This wedding was in 07…but one to remember. Talia and Scott were married at the Trump National Golf Course in Palos Verdes. The Barnets captured the moments and Kimberly Bradford Events did her organization magic. Take a look at the article that was in Ceremony Magazine and also the photos that Joe and Mirta of Barnet Photography took. Talia was fun, you will see, is not afraid of make-up and she looks fantastic with dramatic eyes, she was very specific on how she wanted her hair and make-up. Great that the DV artist Georgia was able to work her magic. The Design Visage girls also beautified all the girlie’s in the wedding party….and there were quite a few, all all pretty I might say. It was a fun day.

This is my favorite shot…..love it.
