Caroline’s 4th of July Wedding | The International Golf Club | Bolton, MA

With the 4th of July right around the corner, I figured today would be a great time to share some photos from Caroline’s 4th of July nuptials last year. Caroline’s wedding was held at The International Golf Club in Bolton, MA and incorporated some really cute American 4th of July themed touches (I especially loved the guys’ socks!). Her makeup look was fresh and flawless, and her hair was pinned back in a beautiful low updo, which is perfect for hot summer days. Here are some photos from her wedding, captured by Kristen Jane Photography.

Makeup and Hair for Emily’s Beautiful CT Wedding | Mansion at Bald Hill | Woodstock, CT

One of the best things about working in the wedding industry is having the opportunity to see all the amazing details brides put into their big day. I see so many beautiful things! Of course, this also makes it difficult, as I often find myself wishing I had done things differently for my own wedding. It’s as though I’m constantly planning wedding #2 in my head. Ha ha! (My husband will be thrilled to know this…) Emily’s wedding in the quiet corner of northeast Connecticut is a perfect example of that. The Clark Chapel at the Pomfret School where she said her vows? Stunning! (Seriously, how did I not know about this place?) And her dress…. Absolutely gorgeous.

Here are some photos from Emily’s beautiful CT wedding, by Nathan Oldham Photography, showing the hair and makeup Renee and Betsy created for her big day.

Catherine and Rachel’s Harrington Farm Wedding – Princeton, MA

I am so excited to share these gorgeous images and video from Catherine and Rachel’s wedding last year! These two beautiful women celebrated their marriage at Harrington Farm in Princeton, MA. Our team worked with a large number of people – 9 for makeup and 14 for hair – so it was a busy but wonderful day! Here are some of my favorite images, showing the boho-chic hair & makeup styles our artists Alexandra, Leanne, Chelsea and Renee created for this special day.

So natural, yet stunning.Bridal hair and makeup for Harrington Farm weddingBridal hair and makeup for Harrington Farm weddingAnd the wrap-around braid that Chelsea created for Cat… Perfection!Bridal hair and makeup for Harrington Farm weddingNotice how natural and subtle Rachel’s makeup was – just enough to even out skin tone and photograph perfectly. Didn’t our artist Leanne do a fantastic job on her? One of the concerns we hear quite often when booking same-sex weddings is that one of the women doesn’t normally wear makeup, so they don’t want to LOOK like they are wearing it on their wedding day either. Renee did a fabulous job on Rachel’s hair as well!  Continue reading “Catherine and Rachel’s Harrington Farm Wedding – Princeton, MA”

Bridal Hair and Makeup for Berkshires Wedding | Cranwell Resort | Lenox, MA

Even though it doesn’t feel like it lately here in Massachusetts, fall is coming to an end and winter is just around the corner! Autumn weddings are very popular in the Berkshires due to the gorgeous foliage and the near perfect weather New England offers. This beautiful wedding held at the Cranwell Resort in Lenox, MA, with images by Brad Ross Photography, just happens to be one of those.

Our makeup artist Betsy and hair designer Renee met with bride Rebekah for her bridal beauty prep in the bridal suite of this spectacular resort.

Betsy created our signature “bridal smoky eye” on Rebekah, paired with a pretty pink gloss and sculpted cheeks, while Renee smoothed out her curls for a sleek chin-length bob. As you can see in the image above on the right, Rebekah has natural tight curls in her hair, which have been completely smoothed out in the image on the left.

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.

Here’s a little peek! Photos by Fidelio Photography.

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!

Hair and Makeup for Rustic Barn Wedding | Salem Cross Inn | West Brookfield, MA

Here in central Massachusetts, rustic barn venues are kind of our thing. Therefore, hair and makeup for rustic barn venues is really OUR thing. Loose waves. Relaxed chignons. Soft, pretty makeup. Rosy cheeks. Flirty lashes. It’s something we specialize in. Here are some photos from Lisa’s September wedding held in the barn at the Salem Cross Inn in West Brookfield, MA.

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!

Bridal Hair & Makeup for Spring Wedding | Harding Allen Estate | Barre, MA

This is our first official blog post on our new website! I’m so excited to share some of the beautiful weddings and events we’ve been working on so far this year. We think our stunning bride Alison is the perfect way to start!

We had the pleasure of working with Alison for her wedding at the Harding Allen Estate in Barre this past May. This woman is the whole damn package – beautiful, smart, successful, and super sweet! It was an absolute privilege to be able to work with her and her family on this very special day.

I opted for a romantic, almost angelic look for Alison’s makeup. I kept her eyes moderately soft, with emphasis on a full set of lashes, paired with a soft pink cheek and lip. Renee styled her hair with a wrap around French braid that opened up into a full side of beautiful curls, swept back slightly to keep her face visible.

Here are some of the beyond pretty images from her wedding day, by Rachel Kate Photography.
