The Bridal Team's makeup and hair stylist, Carley Martin, was just featured on Refinery 29 as one of Today's Hot Stories. In the article Carley discusses how to master contouring and highlighting, applying false lashes and working with lip stains. You can read all her tips and tricks HERE!
The Bridal Team recently had the opportunity to work with the beautiful Molly Mesnick and Trista Sutter for their event with EDrop-Off. They auctioned off over 140 designer clothes and accessories that were worn by former Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants. The auction benefited the American Red Cross. The Bridal Team was at the finale event providing hair and makeup for the guests. We also had the chance to work with Molly and Trista prior to the event, Lauren did their makeup and Carley did their hair. Here are a couple shots from that evening, the photos are courtesy of Barry Brecheisen and eDrop-Off. We were so happy to help out with such a fun event raising money for such a great cause!

We were just looking at some of the past projects our artists' worked on, for a little Wednesday inspiration, and we came across this video that our hair and makeup artist Lauren did with the great crew over at Fig Media with a great model from Factor Women. They shot this for the CS Evening of Bridal Luxury this past February. We love the look and feel of the video. Check it out and hopefully it'll inspire you as well.

Many Brides ask us if it's necessary to do a trial for their wedding hair and makeup before their wedding day and our recommendation is always YES! You wouldn't try on your wedding gown or shoes for the first time the day of your wedding? So, then why would you try out your hair and makeup for the first time the day of your wedding?
Let's say you've always dreamed of having your hair down with a sexy beachy wave for your outdoor August wedding. The day of your wedding comes and you didn't do a trial with you hairstylist, as she starts to work with your hair, to give you that sexy wavy look, you start to realize that you HATE sexy waves and that it is nothing like you'd imagined. Now what do you do? You have to either start over, putting you way behind schedule the day of your wedding , or live with hair you hate. Neither are situations that any bride wants to deal with.
Now, if you were to do a trial before your wedding you would be able to work through any issues without the pressure of your wedding day timeline. You can also go over examples of looks you like with your artist and get their suggestion for what would work best for your hair and complexion.
The Bridal Team includes the cost of a trial for brides in our prices for your wedding day hair or makeup. We do this because we feel so strongly about doing a trial with your artist prior to your big day!
