Bridal Makeup

In Studio or On Location

Our wedding day services are available either in our studio or on location, be it a hotel, special venue, or in the comfort of your home.  We arrive fully equipped with director's chair, makeup kit, and supplies.  Everything is timed down to the minute so that you will be ready to say "I do".

Bridal Consultation

Consultations (trial run) are usually done within two months of the wedding date, in our studio, and last approximately 90 minutes.  You will receive a complete makeup application tailored to your specifications, as well as a skin care assessment.  Many brides choose to have the consultation the day portraits are being taken in advance.  Airbrush foundation, false eyelashes, and brow shaping are also available at extra charge.  "Before and After" pictures are taken for our files, and can be emailed to you.  We take thorough notes during the consultation so that the wedding day makeup application will go smoothly, quickly, and look just as perfect.

Booking

Please plan ahead to insure that your wedding date is available.  We typically book out a date 2 - 6 months in advance, although last minute bookings can sometimes be accommodated.  Special dates can book out as far as a year in advance.  We accept a $100 deposit and signed contract to reserve your wedding date.  The deposit is applied to your final bill, and is refundable until the consultation is done and our services are confirmed for the wedding day.

Bridal Party

Your wedding pictures will last a lifetime.  You will want your entire bridal party (mothers included) to have their makeup done professionally as well.  During the consultation we will review the wedding day timeline to accommodate everyone.  For parties of 6 or more, we will send two makeup artists at no extra charge.  We also offer bridal party gifts.

Makeup Tips

To prepare for your consultation, we suggest going through some bridal or fashion magazines for suggestions on the look you prefer.  Bring them along so that the artist will have an idea of what you want.  Our Portfolio page has several before and after pictures of brides we have worked with.  Our complete portfolio is available in our studio for your review.  We recommend purchasing your lipstick/lipgloss at the consultation, so you can make occasional touch-ups on your wedding day.
