Beauties in White: Andi Gooch

Andi contacted me in July wanting her hair and makeup done for her wedding in September. I just want to stress how AWESOME she is for booking so early! This gave us plenty of time to talk about the look she wanted and have things set in stone and perfected BEFORE her big day. Not only does it give the bride (and me) time to know for sure what she wants it eliminates the stress of finding soemone last minute. A lot of the times your first choice for hair or photography or anything else really isn't available on your date forcing you to find someone else!

On the flip side don't be afraid to book last minute. Ideally we all would have our lives in perfect order, but that's just not reality. Sometimes weddings happen really fast and you don't have that long to plan, or whoever you booked bailed on you and now you have no one. In those cases there usually is no other solution. In a perfect world all my brides would book me months in advance, but I'm not even one to book early so I don't really expect my brides to. ;) So Wether your a last minute bride or a planner I'll make sure you look beautiful on your special day! Now let's talk about Andi's bridals and wedding day! 

Andi's Bridals turned out gorgeous! She had lots of pictures of updos she liked so I took almost all of them and tried to incorporate it into her hair. We did an inside out braid starting at her bangs and wrapping around back into a side messy bun. For her makeup we used Younique's powder foundation "velour", added color to her cheeks with Younique's blusher "sweet." For her eyes we used Younique's mineral eye pigments "sexy" as the highlight, "feisty" as the base on her eye lids and "daring" in the crease. Lastly we used Younique's 3D Fiber Lash Mascara to make her lashes long and gorgeous. She didn't have to worry about glue ons falling off through out the day or spending tons of money on extensions for just one day! 

Andi and Andrew were sealed in the Bountiful Temple and had their reception at the Grand Ballroom on Main Street in Bountiful. For Andi's wedding hair we did another inside out braid, but made it a lot thicker. We also changed her messy side bun to straight back and a little more uniform. For her makeup we did the exact same thing as her bridals. I loved that Andi's awesome photographer got some cute pictures of me touching up her makeup and hair at the reception. She was definitely such a fun bride to work with!

Beauties in White: Stephanie Johnson

Brides are some of my favorite people to work with. There's something magical about being apart of a brides big day!

Needless to say weddings are stressful. The flowers and decorations need to be taken care of and everyone needs to know what they are doing and where they are going. On top of all that, and every other thing a bride has to worry about, there's that expectation to look "perfect" and "flawless." That's where I come in! I love to take the stress away and make my brides feel like the most beautiful girl in the world. 

I've had the opportunity to work on some beautiful brides and I'm so excited to share this bride with you!! Stay tuned to see other brides I've worked with. 

This lovely Bride is Stephanie Johnson and we have been friends for a long time! I was so happy she asked me to be part of her big day! She had a beautiful May wedding in 2013. After being sealed in the Salt Lake Temple they had a backyard wedding surrounded with trees and lights strung everywhere. The flowers were gorgeous and the cheesecake was to die for! 

Stephanie is very elegant and classy and knew exactly what she wanted (which made my job even easier.) I did a side swept updo leaving some pieces around her face to make her still look stunning from the front as well as the back. I made it very clean and elegant to go along with the theme of the wedding. She sure was a stunning bride.
