Audrey’s bridal beauty | Dallas Petroleum Club | Vera Wang

Audrey is one of those classic, effortlessly gorgeous girls who is equally as sweet, lovely and completely genuine… pretty much making her the perfect bride and client. And because she is just so very stunning, please enjoy this major overload of her wedding day gorgeousness! Hair & makeup for this entire group by Beauty & the Blush!

I came back mid-way through Audrey’s reception to give her a party-perfect update to her look: we changed her updp to a beautiful side swept ponytail and added a bright pop of coral-pink on her lips! f143

I love Susan’s classic, graceful beauty and was so pleased to have been able to do her makeup for her bridal portraits as well as her hair and makeup for her rehearsal dinner!

Lauren’s bridal portraits | Canals at Las Colinas | Brandi Burkett Photography

16 Jun

I’ve been dying to do this post! Lauren took her bridal portraits earlier this spring before she hopped on a plane with her fiancé, both their families in tow, and headed for their destination nuptials on Italy’s Amalfi Coast. Jealous? Yeah, me too. But I’m so grateful I was able to do her hair and makeup for her romantic, Tuscan-inspired portrait session at the Canals of Las Colinas with Brandi Burkett Photography. Aside from how gorgeous she is – how freaking amazing is her couture wedding gown by Deborah Powell of White Gown Workroom? Swoon. Cheers to you, sweet Lauren!

Jennifer’s wedding day beauty | Nicole Berrett Photography | Paradise Cove Lake Grapevine

12 Jun

So, I am super late on blogging this gorgeous, brunette beauty …. but better late than never! Jennifer’s wedding day look included a palette of soft beigey-nude-browns and pretty pinks. I created a sideswept, softly curled updo that we topped off with a pretty little bling. Enjoy these gorgeous images from her Paradise Cove at Lake Grapevine wedding by Nicole Berrett Photography.

Ballerina Beauties | Heather Hawkins Photography | Dallas Youth Ballet

10 Jun

Today on the blog, I’m swapping brides for ballerinas! WQy8vuNW3_aJsSS95IX11cG9WqVPZc49bvUgDwVsKSs,KuZFUSRDXvPBPG48TCfS5iQhiHFFIdoAA9RJqpy8Ra4,ZI-j0w11EaW--YB2SZGgmSJtGfDsna2ynfaGmFrqdK8

I had the pleasure of working with Brooke & Tatum, two gorgeous, lovely girls, best friends and gracefully talented dancers with the Dallas Youth Ballet at The Dallas Conservatory. They came to me to get hair and makeup ready, then headed to Bows & Arrows next for their fancy floral crown toppers, then off they went with Heather Hawkins Photography, who captured these breathtaking images!

I did a really soft, muted matte palette of dusty pinks, taupes and browns with flushed cheeks and matte lips, then finished them off with detailed braided updos. Enjoy!

Sugar Bee Sweets Baby Gender Reveal with Berrett Photography :: Heidi’s hair + makeup

9 Jun

Let’s be honest. How cute is this gender reveal photo session??

Such a beautiful family! Heidi (owner of Sugar Bee Sweets bakery in Arlington) and Bryan each chewed up a piece of pink and blue bubble gum, blew a bubble and had their daughter Vivian burst a bubble to reveal that they are having another little girl! I was honored and thrilled to do Heidi’s hair and makeup for their family session with Berrett Photography at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens.

I wanted to emphasize Heidi’s gorgeous, sparkly blue eyes with a charcoal eyes shadow and black liner and highlight her gorgeous bone structure with a pop of color on her cheeks. For her hair, I gave her big waves with extra volume a little braid on the side. Enjoy!

Hunter’s wedding day beauty | A/K Photography |Miss Mary’s Place, Longview wedding

3 Jun

I’ve know Hunter for just literally as long as I can remember, having grown up down the street from her when we were little kids. Being a part of her wedding day was less like work and a lot more like a big ole’ east Texas reunion with old friends. I got Hunter and all her bridesmaids makeup-ready at the Cherokee Club overlooking Lake Cherokee before her ceremony and reception at Miss Mary’s Place this spring. She’s as sweet as she is beautiful and her entire group of beer-drinking, boot-wearing, hysterical and gorgeous bridesmaids had me laughing the entire day.

Enjoy these beautiful images by A/K Photography.
