I had met Bride-to-be Tiffany a few years before when she was still living in Los Angeles. She was a sweetheart then, and the same when we met again for her trial 4 years later. Hi, I’m professional hair and makeup artist Ruth and I’ve been working with brides for 10+ years to help them achieve the wedding look of their dreams!
Tiffany had followed my work for years and when it finally came her turn to tie the knot, she reached out to check my availability for her day. Of course I was thrilled to not only hear from her, but know that she wanted me to be her wedding day hair and makeup artist!! (It’s just such a pleasure when those close to you trust you with their most important moments!) We chatted her look and being a now out of town bride, we scheduled in the best date for her trial weekend.
Tiffany’s event would definitely be considered a destination wedding. Destination weddings are events that are thrown anywhere the bride and groom don’t live. Though a little bit more difficult to plan at times, destination weddings can be an excellent way for not only you, the honored couple to get out of town but also family and friends! Destination weddings can be in the next state, across the country, or completely across the ocean!! Whatever it may be, I love being their for my destination brides!!
Tiffany opted for a clean makeup look with a pop of color on the lip. It was absolutely perfect for her late summer/beginning of fall wedding in September!! To achieve her beautiful skin I used Fenty Beauty’s Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Liquid Foundation to bring out her bridal glow and Sephora’s Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick for her to keep her lip perfect the entire day!
The Casa Del Mar hosts events and weddings of all sizes. Tiffany’s wedding was a “mini-mony”, being no bigger than 20 people. There is plenty of space for your get-ready glam, guests, and dreamy wedding photos!
And boy were Tiffany’s wedding photos dreamy!! Take a look here for a few more:
There was one extra surprise for Tiffany’s wedding day, and one that I’ve been hiding from you as you’ve been reading this article! Tiffany and Jay had an extra little surprise for the day, can you guess what it was?
They were EXPECTING!!
What a pleasure and honor to be apart of Tiffany’s most special day! Tiffany thank you for your trust and continued support for my work! The best to you, Jay, and baby!
