Where do I even start about Vivian's wedding prep!?! I have so much I want to share! First of all, just amazing AMAZING ladies that I had a chance to work with... and so fun and chill at the same time. How is that even possible? Baffles me a bit, but I still smile when I think about spending the morning with Vivian and her girls. I won't repeat the story of how we met, but you can read about it here... and thanks again to Valerie for introducing us! 

THE BRIDAL PARTY

Gorgeous right? ...

Gorgeous and TOTALLY AWESOME!!! How can you not love this bridal party?!?

BRIDESMAID: MICHELLE

I love it when a client sits in my chair and completely relaxes, trusting me with the hair and makeup look. Michelle, that was you! Here are the before and afters :)

MAKEUP

Adding the pop of lipcolor

HAIR

Before and After

BRIDESMAID: SALENA

It was fun chatting with Salena and finding out about our excitement for Korea! She, having been there before, and I about to head over very soon. Eeeks! That, plus not making her have Amy Winehouse hair like she had experienced in a previous wedding led to some giggles while she was in my chair.

MAKEUP

Before and After

Airbrushing, false lashes, lips

HAIR

Before and After

Super important to get all the hair curled cleanly for a half-up/half-down do. Hair cut in layers also helps with this look.

MOTHER OF THE BRIDE: HELENA

Meeting Auntie Helena was absolutely refreshing! Friendly, frank, and funny... Vivian is so blessed to have a mom like she does. What a precious treasure :)
