Erica and a great team at the Balboa Bay Club

So excited to write about Erica…..What a great experience we had meeting Erica and her mom. The became a part of the Design Visage right away. And best of all Erica came in for 4 hair previews!!! And she loved them all. This is what happens when you look good in every hairstyle. Although Erica kept vacillating between up or down. Wait until you see the creative middle her artist Adrienne did….all up, but looks part down. Now Erica has fantastic hair but we added a bit more to give the fullness. Her final hair preview was 2 days prior to the wedding. She was in the salon for honeymoon waxing. it was so funny her mom suggested we bring 2 wigs so Erica could alternate hairstyles….so I could not wait to see the final choice. And I can depend on Bleu Cotton Photography to have the photos available less than 2 days after the event….you rock Blue. The photos are fantastic and this is just a teaser, when Blue Cotton Photography has the entire wedding available….we will post more…yea. My good friend Susan Mcdonald of SuMac Productions pulled the day together. And my other good friends Ashley Video Productions shot the film part of the day. O yes also Nisie from Enchanted Florest along with Design Visage at Balboa Bay Club. What a great team Erica…

Erica took advantage of Design Visage’s new ” rent a headpiece” program. She wore 2 stunning vintage hair combs from Paris by Debra Moorland. We will have to get clear shot in a future post. These pieces can also be purchased on Bridalmode,Design Visage’s premier wedding accessory site.

What a beautiful couple. Erica and Ronnie were childhood friends….guess it was meant to be!

Erica we Loved helping you look so outstanding. Thanks you for becoming a Design Visage beautiful bride.

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep… wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you’ re just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU… The one who turns to his friends and says, thats her…

Karen French Photography and Design Visage = Beautiful

Posted in Beautiful Brides, Friends

We have had the pleasure of working with Karen French (of Karen French Photography) for many many years now. Her style of photography always makes the brides shine. Today will showcase a few of the brides we did together in 08.

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.
