Make-Up
To airbrush or not to airbrush, that is the question. Pick an experienced make-up artist with examples of previous bridal work that match your style. Schedule a pre-wedding trial to make sure you're in love with your fancy new look before the big day. Got a large wedding party? Consider hiring multiple artist to stay on schedule.
We recommend the Bridal Beauty Agency for a full range of à la carte beauty services for both local and destination weddings.
