Hair and Makeup for Lindsay’s Spring Floral Wedding | The Collection at Wight Farm | Sturbridge, MA

We love making people look pretty for their weddings, and we especially love when we get to work with the same people again and again! One of the biggest compliments we could ever receive is to have a bridesmaid from a prior wedding hire us to do the hair and makeup for their own wedding. Is there any better way to say “Hey, I LOVED what you did, I want you to do it for me again!” That is exactly the case for our beautiful bride, Lindsay! We did hair and makeup for Lindsay’s sister’s wedding a few years ago, as well as one of her best friends last year, so I was SO happy when she contacted us for her own wedding earlier this year. Lindsay has an amazing sense of fashion (she has a design background and owns her own hat company, French Knot), so I was excited to see the details from her wedding at The Collection at Wight Farm here in Sturbridge.

Those flowers! And that dress!

Lindsay’s wedding had a very fun, casual, outdoorsy feel to it. She opted to wear her hair in a side-swept ponytail, while keeping her makeup pretty natural with a pop of color on her lips. She looked gorgeous!

Makeup for NYE Wedding | Zukas Hilltop Barn | Spencer, MA

This year’s bridal season has been absolutely wonderful and of course, incredibly busy! This means I haven’t had much time to keep up on blogging lately, so I’m trying to play catch up now that the season is starting to slow down a bit. I wanted to share some photos from Shelli’s New Year’s Eve wedding at Zukas Hilltop Barn in Spencer, MA. Hey, better late than never, right? 😉

I gave Shelli my signature eye look – what I like to call the “bridal smokey eye”. It’s not a true smokey eye at all, but more of a contoured eye with a subtle smokiness to it. It looks gorgeous in person, and photographs beautifully and naturally, which is key to being able to look back on your photos decades from now and not feel that your makeup has “dated” them. This was paired with a soft nude pink lip and a pop of peach blush on her cheeks

I always recommend my bridal parties brush their teeth BEFORE I do their makeup, but clearly it makes for cute photos once I’ve left.

I loved the color of Shelli’s bridesmaid dresses. A beautiful pop of color to brighten up a chilly day!

See how natural the makeup photographs? This is just pure classic beauty. She can look back at these photos 30 years from now and not think “I never should have done that smokey eye”. Because that’s EXACTLY what brides who do smokey eyes are going to think 30 years from now. What is it they say? Oh yeah… Keep calm and trust your professional makeup artist. 🙂

Hair Design and Airbrush Makeup for Gabrielle & Trish’s Wedding in Salem, MA

Gabrielle and Trish had a beautiful sunny day for their wedding at Colonial Hall in Salem, MA last month, and I had the pleasure of doing makeup for both of these ladies.

Gabrielle wanted a strong eye, but wasn’t comfortable with heavy eye shadow, so I sculpted her eyes lightly and did a prominent upwards winged liner paired with a rosy blush and lip. How gorgeous is she?!

Trish, who never wears makeup, wanted the equivalent of grooming services for herself, so I did some airbrushing to even out her skin tone and hide imperfections, a bit of bronzer for color, and a light bit of coloring on her brows and lashes to deepen them for photos. She looked totally natural but flawless!
