Natural Makeup for Rose’s Wedding at Jacob’s Pillow in the Berkshires

A beautifully natural setting calls for beautifully natural wedding makeup. With the recent makeup trends having gone from full-on instaglam (no thanks!) to the softer but still far-from-natural “soft glam”, someone asking for a super soft, barely there makeup application is a breath of fresh air! Meet Rose. This sweet bride wanted to meet with us prior to booking to be certain that our makeup style would be a good fit for her, and we were excited to show her what we could do! After that first meeting we received this email: “I LOVE my look (literally can’t stop staring in the mirror) and so do my fiancé and my friends!” Music to our ears!

On her wedding day, we met Rose and her bridal party at The Constance in Lenox to begin their bridal beauty preparations. We love a good beauty shot, courtesy of Michelle Lange Photography, focusing on Rose’s natural wedding makeup!

Once preparations were complete, the bridal party headed to the wedding venue, Jacob’s Pillow in Becket, MA. The Berkshires is such a beautiful region for a wedding! Rose let us know in advance that her florals were going to be in varying shades of orange, rust and red (the perfect color combo for a New England autumn wedding!), so we chose soft shades of peach for her makeup to complement.

Rose’s mom was super nervous that we were going to put too much makeup on her. Our artist Karrie did the lightest application and even talked her into doing some individual lashes! She looked and felt beautiful! We absolutely adore working with the moms. It’s so rewarding to make them feel like their best selves and to put them at ease.

Formal Short Hair Style and Dewy Wedding Skin | Barn at Wight Farm | Sturbridge, MA

Something we hear quite a bit from our clients is how hard it is to find inspiration photos of formal short hair styles for weddings. Social media tends to focus on updos, and even when searching for the term formal short hair style, it often shows images of people with shoulder length hair. So when Tanda came to us for her wedding preview with a trendy short haircut, we were excited to put our styling skills to work.

Renee chose to curl Tanda’s hair to give it a bit of volume paired with sideswept bangs, while pulling it back on the other side with a beautiful hairpiece. It was the perfect formal touch! Christy focused on giving Tanda dewy skin with touches of peach and blush pink to enhance her bridal glow.

Here are some images from Tanda’s wedding at The Barn at Wight Farm in Sturbridge, photographed by Unity Mike. Look at that gorgeous formal short hair style!

Hollywood Waves and Soft Glam Makeup for Barn at Wight Farm Wedding

As a team of professional hair and makeup artists, it is always our goal to help our brides look their best on their special day. Caitlin, one of our recent brides, was no exception. She came to us with a vision of Hollywood waves and soft glam makeup, and we were thrilled to bring her dream to life.

On the day of her wedding at the Barn at Wight Farm in Sturbridge, our stylist Renee got straight to work, carefully styling and molding her beautiful strawberry blonde hair into perfectly formed waves. Caitlin’s stunning hair was a wonderful complement to her gorgeous gown.

When it comes to makeup, we believe that less is often more. Our goal is to enhance a bride’s natural beauty rather than mask it. For Caitlin, Christy went for a soft glam look that highlighted her features without going overboard. A subtle shimmery eye paired with a rosy lip was the perfect pairing to her glamorous waves.

Caitlin was thrilled with the final result! She looked absolutely stunning and radiated confidence as she walked down the aisle to meet her groom.

Here are some photos of Caitlin’s glam bridal look, taken by the always fabulous Joe Dolen Photography
