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!

Here’s how we tailored the look just for her!

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.

Lynne’s stunning Houston wedding : dramatic makeup & glamorous updo

13 Dec

Meet Lynne, my sweet Houston bride that’s got a heart of gold and the bone structure of a mythical goddess. I mean, seriously, this Southern belle turned pageant queen could have walked down the aisle sans-makeup and hair a muck and she still would have glowed… but lucky for me, I had the awesome opportunity to spend the day with her in Houston for her big “I Do” to her sweet hubby Cale.

Lynne’s pretty olive skin and dark hair called for smoldering bronzy-brown eyes, an apricot cheek and sun kissed lips. We topped off her classic glam look with a delicate, slightly tousled pompadour undo.

Kaity’s Wedding Day Look {Soft, Romantic, Natural}

19 Oct

Kaity & Matt tied the knot on August 14th at TCU’s Robert Carr Chapel in Fort Worth.

Kaity is a natural beauty with beautiful porcelain skin and delicate features. We wanted to play that up by keeping everything really soft, romantic and natural. Kaity wanted to look and feel like herself on her wedding day, not overdone, just effortlessly glamorous!

Soft pearl, beige and grey on the eyes, a subtle peachy-pink on her cheeks and a pretty coral-pink lipstick (to compliment her killer coral shoes!) made up Kaity’s gorgeous, glowing bridal look.
