It does not hurt that Heather is beautiful and has an great sense of style. Paired with Design Visage Lauren…this is a hot look.

Wedding hairstyle:

Heather chose that ever so popular side style. Design Visage Lauren outdid herself on this one. First she curled all Heather’s hair with a 1 inch iron. She added some clip in hair extensions for fullness. She then created a base by putting part of Heather’s hair in a rubber band to the side. The final touches were adding the rest of the hair in loose pieces around the base, leaving lots of hair out and tousled.

Wedding Makeup:

Heather has that bold style and it shows in her choice of wedding makeup. Lauren helped Heather create a sexy smoky eye with shades of grey and gold, topping it off with red lips. Heather looks amazing.

As you know if you read our blog, Rancho Las Lomas is one of Design Visage‘s favorite wedding locations. Just look at all the photo opportunities, along with one of the most romantic settings in the O.C…..and you get to work with one of my favorite wedding peeps Nili of Rancho Las Lomas

Thanks for everyone who participated in the wonderful affair, especially:

Can’t believe it has been 8 months since Megan’s lovely wedding at Rancho Las Lomas. I love the hairstyle Megan chose and Design Visage Lauren did magnificent work on her hair and make-up.

Lauren styled Megan’s hair in an elegant but messy updo. Many brides are afraid to have their hair up, although this style is a great balance between up and down. With all the soft loose curls, it give the illusion of hair down around the fact.

Rancho Las Lomas has the most wonderful photo opportunities. In fact you will see many of our blogs with brides at Rancho Las Lomas.

Megan chose an elegant smoky eye with a soft lip. This was the look for 2010.

Look how shadow placed perfectly can bring out the best. Plus the flowers, could they be any more beautiful.

Thank you Kim Fox for the wonderful photos and Lauren from Design Visage for helping Megan be a most beautiful bride.

Dosen’t hurt that Nicole had a great photographer….John Partridge. The location Rancho Las Lomas is also one of Design Visage’s favorite locations for weddings. If you have not seen it, take a look….Rancho Las Lomas.

Lauren, Nicoles Design Visage artist had so much fun with her bridal look.

Bridal Hairstyle:

I would call this a classic messy updo, although not too messy. Lauren curled all of Nicole’s hair in a large iron and then placed each piece in place, without it looking organized.

Bridal Make-Up

Lauren and Nicole decided on a bold lip, a great red, and smokey eyes. Not everyone can pull off this look, but Nicole has the perfect features.

The red lips to accompany the red shoes.

I think this is my favorite photo, lot’s of personality.

Nicole and Brian are such a beautiful couple.

Thanks Nicole for letting Design Visage help you look fantastic on your day.

Thanks:

Rancho Las Lomas is one of my favorite locations for a wedding….and Scott Nelson Photography really captured some terrific shots…

Lauren, Elizabeth’s Design Visage artist created the look…

Wedding Hairstyle:

Wow 2009 was the year for the half updo, or you could say half down do. Anyway you look at it…lots of hair on the shoulders. Lauren created this romantic style with a 1 inch iron. She set the hair and then fingered out the curls to look natural. She pinned the sides softly and a side part for the front which adds a bit of elegance….

Wedding Make-Up:

Elizabeth is fair complected (like me) so the brows add much to her look….Lauren defined her brows with a natural brow powder added browns and golds on the lid….a set of lashes and pop the eyes…wow.  Add a mauve lip and cheek and you have a stunning natural look for a georgeous blond.

Scott Nelson Photography works alot at Rancho Las Lomas…so her has the inside scoop on the great photo opps…

The half updo works for beautiful girlies at any age

Thanks Elizabeth for allowing Design Visage to be a part of your day…

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

Thank you so much Debbie for sharing…..we did get some of the photos from John Partridge and they are on our website…but that was pre blog days so now I have the pleasure of presenting to you:

Stephanie and Emanuel at the fantastic Rancho Las Lomas

are they just the most beautiful couple…..

I remember Stephanie’s preview….she is a stunning girl and wanted to stand out.

Wedding Make-Up:

• Janelle, the Design Visage  artist did a smokey grey shadow with lots of lashes…
• Lips and cheeks were a heather pink…..

Wedding Hairstyle:

When you look at this style you may not be wowed, but you need to understand that this was when brides were wearing very structured hairstyles…this was so “now” and unique. In fact, I can even tell you how many brides came to us with this photo and wanted the exact same style….

• the key to this style is loose loose but with a solid base so it will stay all day
• looks easy, although it takes a lot of time to curl each piece of hair and place it in a way that it looks naturally fallen.
• piece by piece lightly hairpinned (not bobby pin) to create the look

We had a brochure  with this photo for all of 06 and 07………Look how fantastic the water at  Rancho Las Lomas looks as a backdrop for the photo….good choice John Partridge.

Not had to see where Stephanie and Emanuel got their looks…..take a peek at their moms….wow

You can see the unique hair accessory that Stephanie is wearing and many more choices at  Bridalmode.

Thanks again Debbie for sharing……..

 Beauty is being in harmony with what you are.

Wedding Hair:

* Laura’s hair was curled with a 1″ iron in medium size sections and pinned in curles all over Laura’s head. This is for staying power

* After her wedding make-up was applied, the curls were taken down and Lauren, Laura’s Design Visage artist ran her fingers through the hair to give it a soft and natural look

* Spray Spray Spray….we use a terrific spray by Alterna. Light, but efficient.

Wedding Make-up:

* Lauren used a mineral make-up foundation with an SPF of 15, no sunburn on the wedding day, followed by a loose mineral powder and rose blush

* Laura’s eye shadow were a pallet of brown, golds and a touch of rose. A waterproof chocolate liner, black mascara and a few individual lashes to create the eye.

* Lips were a deep natural lip liner covering the entire lip with a “sweetie” gloss on top. This kept Laura picture perfect, even after the “kiss”

Look how cute, they are about to see each other for the first time all dressed up…

Flowers/Feathers ect. you can find your perfect wedding hair accessory on Design Visage’s boutique, Bridalmode.

I think this is one of the most beautiful wedding bouquets I have ever seen. Laura who was your florist?

Laura has some very savvy taste, you know I had to show the shoes…..

thank you Rancho Las Lomas and JNP Studios for partnering with Design Visage….together we helped a beautiful girl become a stunning bride.

Lisa is such a kind, gracious girl. She has this incredible natural curly dark hair, so it was a no brainer that Heather ( Lisa’s Design Visage artist) went with her hair and chose a bridal hairstyle that complimented the natural beauty of her hair. I do believe it was the right choice……

Now make-up was another thing…..Lisa is one of those lucky girls that can carry off a bit more color and it looks as if it were meant to be. The color of the year….eggplant, was the shadow color, with a strong rose lip, and blush to accent. And as you can see, Lisa has perfect skin and a contagious smile…..so how could we go wrong.

A girl with savvy shoe style

Cool shot….yea Palos Studio

Rancho Las Lomas has the most beautiful areas for photography…

It’s been a good year for the USC band, I have seen them at more weddings than on TV this year!!!

I do believe this was a fun wedding..thanks Lisa for letting Design Visage be a part of the memories.

this photo was taken at the stunning Rancho Las Lomas

I really like the creativity of this photo….just a wall with lights from a car create this terrific affect.

What a wonderful all down hair bridal hairstyle. With one day hair extensions you can create any look.

Simple bridal make-up can be the right look for you.

A beautiful silk flower in the wedding hairstyle can be so romantic. You can fin this piece on Design Visage’s accessory site Bridalmode.

Laura just looks lovely, but look at Scott’s face…you can not stage this look. He loves her so much.

Lauren was the talented Design Visage artist for Laura’s look. Laura is naturally a beautiful girl with perfect hair. The decision for her look was natural curls for her hair and an all down style. As I mentioned, Laura has great hair and a lot of it. This is how this style can be successful for a wedding hairstyle. Her  bridal make-up was a little more bold. Very natural colors….browns and golds although applied with a stonger pallet to give a smoky eye and overall glamerous style.

Thank you Laura for choosing Design Visage.

This is Denise. She and Ricardo were married October 12, 08 in Torrance. Lauren was her artist, and they choose to do a very classic hairstyle. The front is clean and shows Denise’s pretty face. The eyes were a bit smoky with a lip tone lip color.

Here we have Kristen…..she and Andrew were married August 30th, 08 at the unique Rancho Las Lomas. It was all organized by our friend and coordinator Melody Walker. 

Sabrina was the artist for Kimberly and she chose to wear her hair all down. Which is very popular now, although I do caution you to work with a very experienced artist for this style. Seems easier…..but will it stay all day..etc. 

Dana was the artist for Kimberly. She and Jason were married June 22, 08 in Marina Del Rey.

This is one of my favorite hair styles…half up half down. It gives the elegant look of a wedding and something for your veil and hair jewelry to be secure, yet it also gives the casual hair down feeling.

 Finally we have Jen. She and Mike were married August 2, 08 in Laguna Beach. Susan Mcdonald was the wiz that coordinated the day.

 I hope you enjoyed our collections of Karen French/Design Visage brides……see you tomorrow.
