Ashley’s vintage-chic wedding

31 Jan

One of the best things about my job is doing makeup for my friends’ weddings! Take my sweet friend Ashley for example: This blonde bombshell is a cowboy boot wearing, Miranda Lambert loving, southern belle that met her match in a wrangler wearing, horse riding, deer hunting cutie named Brent.

They said their “I Do’s” under the setting October sun, followed by their vintage, shabby-chic reception, all set in the hills of Conroe county right outside of Houston. Ash wanted glowing skin, peachy pink cheeks and a smokey grey eye with an emphasis on tight, black liner, drawing the focus to her beautiful, sparkling eyes!

Hair Love :: Bridal Bouffant

20 Jan

I LOVE when my brides want to try something new, different, cool …. and BIG with their hair! One of my recent brides came to me with this photo (below). She wanted big, oversized curls, tons of pouf and volume with a teeny headband for her big day!

Natalie’s Trophy Club Wedding {makeup & hair}

15 Jan

While perusing last year’s Beauty&theBlush schedule, I almost fell out of my chair when I realized I hadn’t blogged my beautiful bride, Natalie, and her gorgeous Trophy Club Country Club wedding! (I mean, let’s be honest, she is shut-the-front-door pretty!)

AMERICAN WEDDING! 722

Even though I am ridiculously late in posting and Natalie is coming up on her one year anniversary with her handsome hubby, not sharing these images with you would just be a crime. Her soft, romantic but totally glamorous makeup was perfect for her outdoor, spring wedding. And her side swept, sleek chignon topped it all off! So without further adieu, I give you the stunning bride, Natalie.
