A Greek Wedding celebrated at the California Club by LVL Events with Jim Kennedy Photography, Wedding hair and makeup Design Visage

Posted in Beautiful Brides, Bridal hairstyles and hair accessories

Last May our DV Dana got to work with our beautiful bride Catherine. Her traditional Greek Ceremony was followed by an amazing reception at the California Club. LVL events coordinated this fabulous affair and each moment was captured by the awesome team at Jim Kennedy Photography.

Catherine chose an intricate bridal up-do that DV Dana highlighted with several lovely floral hair pins. Her make up was elegant and natural.

Gotta love the fun totes by LVL Events!

 

DV Dana worked her artistry on the crew of pretty ladies that were a perfect compliment to Catherine.

 

 

A special thanks to Jim Kennedy Photography for the wonderful images.

Frank Salas Photography/Wedding Hair and Makeup/Design Visage

Posted in Beautiful Brides, Wedding Day Makeover on TLC

My favorite memory of Sayeste: Sayeste had reserved her wedding with Design Visage.  I called her at work and explained that Design Visage had a new show on TLC called Wedding Day Makeover and if she would like to audition for the show.  She immediately said “YES” and I told her I would pass the information on to our production company. One minute later the phone rang, it was Sayeste, she asked me “Did you just ask me to be on a wedding show on TLC?”  I replied “Yes” and she said ” I thought so, but I wanted to make sure I was not dreaming!!”.

From that moment on….I was crossing my fingers that TLC would choose Sayeste to participate in Wedding Day Makeover. It came back as a “No” at first, why, because she was too pretty and they thought she would not be a good “makeover”. We encouraged, and finally a “YES”. I was soooo excited.

Design Visage Susie had a terrific time  ”making up” Sayeste.  She chose an elegant smoky eye and long red carpet locks.

Our friend and fantastic photographer Frank Salas was the photographer for the day. He was such a sport to work around all the film crew and still come up with these amazing shots.

Design Visage Susie did a hot makeup application on Sayeste. The thick liner with a bronze lid and lashes, lashes were the bridal makeup style.

Bridal hairstyle for Sayeste: Susie curled all her hair with a one and a half inch iron and let it set. After the hair was let down, Susie added extensions that were already curled. Susie ran her fingers through Sayeste’s hair to give it the loose sexy curl, and then loosely took each side up and gently pined it back. The result is a bridal hairstyle for the red carpet. Lots of spray to keep in place, keeping in mind to use a professional working spray that holds but does not leave the hair stiff.

Lisa Simpson was the pro that organized the day and kept it all running smoothly, like always. And the Hilton in Huntington Beach was amazing with all the details.

I know Sayeste felt like a movie star, she sure looked like one.


Design Visage had a blast with Sayeste and Wedding Day Makeover on TLC

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

Posted in Asian Brides, Beautiful Brides

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……….

Platinum Weddings by Kerrie/Ritz Carlton Dana Point/ Wedding Hair and Make-up

Posted in Brides in Magazines, Iranian Ceremonys

When Sarv called, I new immediately that Design Visage would have to be on the game.  She was a no muss no fuss kind of girl and knew exactly want she wanted, although was looking for just the right stylist to help her achieve her “look”.  Sarv arrived for her preview, computer in hand and power point presentation ready for Lauren. A few hours later Lauren and Sarv were good friends and most importantly Sarv looked stunning.

Sarv chose a classic wedding hairstyle. A swoop bang with very clean smooth updo. Since she is a classic beauty, I do believe she made the right choice.  Sarv’s dress and earring were so sparkly, she decided to add the bling to the back of the hairstyle.

Kerrie from Platinum Weddings by Kerrie definitely did just that, a “Platinum Wedding it was” .  The Ritz Carlton Dana Point was the setting.

For Sarv’s wedding makeup,  Design Visage Lauren did a classic eye, a warm contour pink highlights and lots of lashes.

Yes I believe stunning is the word to describe Sarv on her wedding day.

I love this part of a Persian Wedding, the honey exchange. From what I understand it is a symbol of starting your new life sweet. Let me know if I am wrong, or if there is more to it.

Design Visage is honored to have helped Sarv and all the bridesmaids look like this…….. and the wedding was featured on:
