They traveled from Texas for this intimate affair at The Montage Laguna Beach. Arriving just days before the wedding and her Preview was that Friday . To DV Laurens surprise she chose to NOT do the makeup portion of her Preview. The bride felt so confident in her ability they just went for it on the big day!

Relaxed Beach Bridal Hair & Makeup at Terranea with Lauren Hillary of Jim Kennedy Photographers

admin — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 06:21:57 +0000

Terranea is one of Southern California’s premier coastal wedding locations. Our bride was a perfect fit for this beach side venue and her hair and makeup matched the relaxed vibe of the day. Lauren Hillary captured beautiful images from all angels of the unique bridal style and the gorgeous landscape.

I remember when Fulya came in for her Preview and we got a sneak peak of her amazing braid. The hairstyle Georgia created was so unique and it went perfectly with the entire look.

Natural makeup, simple yet polished
Soft pink lip
Boho side swept hair with a fishtail braided through

Lauren Hillary of Jim Kennedy Photographers did an amazing job! I really love the these images of Fulya on the coast of Terranea.

It is so important to consider the overall look of the wedding when choosing your hair and makeup. How will it all come together in a photo? The dress, the venue, the makeup and the hair all composed into a complete look. These are the things that make each bride unique and allow her to reflect her own personal bridal style on the wedding day!

As always we want to thank the awesome Lauren Hillary and also beauty by DV Georgia!

Bridal Beauty Product Spotlight

admin — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 20:07:12 +0000

Some of our DV Divas stopped by to share their favorite products with you!

Benefit Ooh La Lift

What it is:
A dream cream for the under-eye area.

What it does:
Benefit Ooh La Lift is a wonder eye cream that works like an instant eye lift. With light-reflecting pigments and raspberry extract, this magic pink balm gives eyes an instant brightening boost and caffeine to perk up the eye.

Why I love it:
“Use throughout the day as an eye freshener. Lightens, brightens and tightens the eye.” - DV Jen

$22 at Sephora

MAC Fluidline – Blacktrack

What it is:

MAC Fluidline Ultra-smooth, gel formula eyeliner in a rich array of colors and finishes.

What it does:

Provides the precision of a liquid liner with a silkier, softer finish. Goes on “foolproof” with a brush an easy dip-and-stroke action. Long-wearing. Smudge-proof.

Why I love it:

“It goes on smooth, doesn’t smudge and I can use it on everyone! Defines the eyes and can be used for a natural eye or even for a more dramatic effect.” – DV Georgia

$15.00 at MAC

I have fine lines around my eyes and had to try Benefit Ooh La Lift “dream cream” for myself. It REALLY works!

The Fluidline by MAC I have been using for years. Liquid liner appears harsh to me and the shadow liners do not last all day. This product is easily applied with an angled brush and you have control of how much or little you like

Laguna Cliffs Resort with Gavin Wade Photographers and Ruth Wang

admin — Thu, 06 Sep 2012 22:23:25 +0000

I blog often, maybe not often enough, and see so many photos of our gorgeous brides! Today I had a hard time narrowing down my favorites of this beauty. Gavin Wade photographers did an amazing job of capturing the love on this August day. At the Laguna Cliffs Resort, Ruth Wang orchestrated a fabulously ruffled affair.

DV Jen arrived in the afternoon to give the bride a classic, natural look that would carry her from the hot summer afternoon into the sizzling evening.

*Gabrielle’s hair was pulled back effortlessly into a low bun with just enough height to show off her beautiful face.

*The perfect accent was the simple flower she picked out from B Bride at our Costa Mesa location.

*Her makeup was natural looking although with the perfect coverage and flawless finish. The eye makeup was cool with a light smoke that looked amazing in color and black and white photography.

Here are a few of my favorites…
Dad and Bride have the same smile

A fantastic looking couple!Love the ruffles by Oscar De La Renta. Special thanks to:
