The PreGame

For every wedding I have the pleasure of creating the bridal look for its always such a blessing. I have the opportunity to engage my passion for people and my art, on one of the most important days of my clients life. Not only do I consider it an honor but I view it as the best job in the world. It's very important for my clients to feel special and to love the outcome. Because all the work to pull a wedding together happens before the wedding I call my services "The Wedding Pregame." Welcome to show.

I decided to highlight the Manning-Rankin Wedding because of the passion the couple has for one another and the details it took to pull everything together.

We started with a bridal trial where the bride and groom hosted a glam squad dinner. The wedding planner, hairstylist, and myself met to discuss the vision of the day. What it didn't know is the bride would be the model but the groom had a specific look in mind for his bride to be.

It consisted of a classic Cat Eye, minimal brows, clean skin, and a bold matte lip. After a few foundation test, contour blends, and a few lip swatches, the contract was signed.

The next run through was on Bridal Portrait Day. We met at 8 am to compile all the specifics of a modern classic bride on this beautiful fair skinned, blue eyes human doll. Stephanie skin was the most radiant and clear. The pictures came out amazing. ( Big thanks to Isil Dohnke Photography for providing bridal portrait images.)

The Wedding Day

Hosted in the heart of Charlotte, NC. Team SDS Events keeping everything elegant, timely, and orchestrated to the beautiful couples specifications. Nothing like a beaming bride.

Wedding Day Glam for Honorary Guest

Mother of Bride, Sister of Bride, a few girl friends, and the bride all sat and got their wedding day glam in the Bridal Suite. Every client was comfortable with a natural glamorous look. But for every client the word natural means something different! Lashes, clean skin, bold lips was the cohesiveness for the night.

For others, a smokey eye was the request. I said, ooookkkkkaaaayyyyy!

At the end of the night with the reception in full swing we did a quick touch up on the lips and a dusting on her nose and my job was done. A beautiful end to an amazing day...a bride still smiling.
