A few months Sonia got married. We had such a great time. What a fun bride………and person.

Wedding Make-Up:

Lauren, Sonia’s Design Visage artist went with pallet of the tones of the dress… she incorporated these tones in the shadows, blush and lips tones.

Golds and smoky tones to bring out the eyes, lots of liner and lashes.

With all that eye……Lauren and Sonia decided on a natural lip.

Wedding Hairstyle:

Sonia wanted to be able to see some of the hair, so Lauren did a side bang and to give a lift to the heavy headress, Lauren used a “bump it”. It gave a lift to the style, and Sonia loved it.

 Stay tuned for the next blog………Lauren returned the next day for Sonia’s big reception and a completely different hair and make-up look

She was having difficulty finding a bridal hairstylist that shared her vision for her bridal look….fortunately Barnet Photography gave her the Design Visage number and the rest is beauty history.

Yes Mariam is stunning….although Barnet Photography did a rockin job on the photography (they always do)………

Dana, Miriam’s Design Visage artist outdid herself on this look….don’t you agree?

The cute warm up suit Miriam purchased on Bridalmode...our accessory wedding site….go see all the fun….

Dress was absolutely fantastic….

You have to admire the detail in Mariam’s hair…just as fantastic as the dress.

Next post is the party….and did they ever have a party…..tune in to see the reception of a lifetime…you have to tune into the Iranian Ceremony.

Sheri Wade Photography did amazing work…….

I love Rachel’s style…look at the fantastic bow with color and bling….love love it!!

Wedding Hairstyle:

• Lauren was Rachel’s Design Visage artist….they decided to create a romantic half up half down hairstyle
• This style is most successful if you have thick hair….and Rachel has wonderful hair
• Lauren curled the entire back with a 1 1/2 iron and set it. After the hair was cool, Lauren lightly placed the hair in a tosseled natural look
• The very important front was softly pulled back and lightly pinned to create a soft look and shows off Rachel’s lovely face

Melody Walker of Events by Melody Walker organized the day and as always it went off with a hitch…..It is so nice when we work wilth wedding coordinators….the wedding always runs so smoothly and the brides is always on time….  Rachel took advantage of our “Borrow a Veil” service and save a lot of cash…..

The wedding was at the beautiful Surf and Sand Hotel in Laguna….This Hotel is RIGHT on the sand and has the most amazing view and sunset….if you are looking for a location for your wedding…check it out.

Rachel wrote such a nice review on Project Wedding for Design Visage..I had to share:

11/13/2009

All I can say is Wow! I had an amazing experience with Design Visage. The price was VERY reasonable, especially being able to borrow a veil(for a bride on a budget, this was AMAZING)

Lauren was my artist and was such a pleasure to work with. I have a permanent straightener on my hair which does not allow my hair to hold any kind of style ever….but Lauren made it happen. My hair held up with curls! all night…All of my bridesmaids looked beautiful, even my maid of honor who was insistent on doing her own hair quickly changed her mind when she saw Lauren’s work.

Thank you so much for making me and all my girls look beautiful on the wedding day!

I will be recommending Design Visage!

Rachel

Thanks again to all the Great Vendors:

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

You can find the hair jewels on Bridalmode…all your bridal hair jewel needs.

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

this is my all time favorite….is she just the cutiest thing?

I would have to say…this is the hairstyle of 09. So many of our lovely brides have chosen this side pony bridal hairstyle. The great thing is that is looks good with all hair color and type.

Love the style…..

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.

Christine and her Design Visage artist Lauren decided on a very dramatic eye….since Christine is in the beauty business herself, she was not afraid of drama. so it was for the wedding make-up elegant and sexy.

I love technology, we are facebook freinds with all Christine’s vendors and Victor posted a shot even before Christine walked down the isle for all of us to see. Big change from the days…..and not so long ago, that it would take months….I mean months if ever to see our lovely brides photos.

Christine looks soooo cute here

What a great looking party of girls…Another beautiful Southern California Wedding

Thank you for letting Design Visage be a part of the bridal beauty.

Beauty is being in harmony with what you are.

Peter Nivio Zarlenga,

I really appriciate brides who think outside the box…maybe because I as well did not do the traditional. I met this “to die for” man in Italy when I was studying there many years ago. We had so much in common. Most importantly we both agreed on the importance of a commited relationship, although did not want to marry. Well as life has it, after he was here for 2 years…we could not longer dodge immigration. The attorney said marry by April 15th or he becomes an illegal~!!! wow so we did not even talk about it for a few months…well April came around and to spare all the details….we went to Las Vegas…I wore a black dress ( very stunning) and we did it all alone…we did not even tell our friends or family….he suggested the drive through Elvis ceremony, but I did draw the line there…..so here we are 12 years later…..happy, married…..without even 1 photo of the day. O yes we did confess to our families 5 years after the day!

What a pretty girl with such a natural bridal make-up choice.

This is quite a non traditional bride…and look at that fantastic fruit sculpture

she has the whole look….

love the birdcage veil

you sure do not need any jewelry, or necklace with this ornate design

this bride is fantastic….the look is perfect.

 If man is to survive, he will have learned to take a delight in the essential differences between men and between cultures. He will learn that differences in ideas and attitudes are a delight, part of life’s exciting variety, not something to fear.

For the wedding Laura wanted to do something different for her bridal hairstyle. So with a little bit of hair, a new Laura. Although not so different that everyone will notice:

So now let’s take a look at the wedding…..It was a beautiful day at the Ritz Carlton in Dana Point. A perfect day for a small, intimate gathering to celebrate a wonderful couple.

Wow did you see the back of that dress…..Laura have a beautiful back and she chose the right dress to show it off.

To top it off, Laura adorned the look with a stunning Lariat necklace.

Heather,  Laura’s Design Visage artist helped her choose just the right hair jewels. A pearl and Swarovski crystal design by MMM that she purchased from our Bridalmode accessory selection.

Thank you Katie from KCP Studios for the lovely photography.

And thank you Laura for being a Design Visage elegant bride.

Are they just a beautiful couple, although even more beautiful inside….They also chose a terrific team of professionals to make the day…..Michelle from  About Details Details, Elysium Productions; Enchanted Florist; and of course yours truly Design Visage. Let’s not forget the company that lets us re live the day….Triple Cord Photography….let see:

A special moment of prayer

Hannah was the Design Visage artist for Jessica. As you can see, Jessica has perfect skin, so a natural cheek and lip was in order, eyes were a bit more smoky….Jessica’s bridal hairstyle was very classic with a pearl and jeweled broach to top it off.

How fun are these photos…….yea Triple Cord

This is always one of my favorite photos at weddings….the walk down the isle…dad and daughter

You attend a wedding to bless the newly married couple. This is what happened on this day,  although the union of Jessica and Jesse also blessed the guests….with 37 miracles to date.

Thank you Jessica for allowing Design Visage to be a part of this day.

Your faithfulness makes you trustworthy to God.
