Destination Weddings

Destination weddings have become increasingly more common. With a touch of added romance, zesty adventure and of course the sultry GETAWAY, a destination wedding can be just that little special touch you're looking for. Planning and organizing a wedding in another city, state or country can be overwhelming and downright nerve-wracking. Trusting wedding professionals is scary enough, but depending on those not within reach can be quite intimidating.
There are so many things that can go wrong; no-show photographers, inferior products, overbooked rooms, makeup artist's not familiar with your skin type…..



When planning your destination wedding, why not consider bringing a team of vendors with you? You will be able to easily hash out all the specifics and details in advance. Your stress level will be minimized knowing you’ve had the opportunity to work with them in detail making sure your wishes and ideas are well planned.

No need to leave it all up to chance, especially when this is probably one of the most important days of your life!!



Taking a makeup artist with you may seem like something only a superstar diva would consider, but let’s consider some of the possible problems you might encounter.


The weather…traveling to a destination will obviously introduce you to a climate you may not be accustomed to. Many brides feel confident to correctly apply their own makeup, but a wedding is an event that calls for professional experience. Excess heat or cold, perhaps humidity or dryness may be factors you wouldn’t normally consider. You may not be prepared with the proper cosmetic products to counteract these unfamiliar elements and the last thing you want to experience on your wedding day is a total face failure.

Some resorts will offer makeup services, but they aren’t familiar with you, your skin type or your style. And let’s not forget there may be a language obstacle if you are in a foreign country. You also want to consider that the quality of products may be inadequate or even dangerous to your health. Not all countries follow safety guidelines for cosmetics.


Depending upon the planning process, you may or may not be able to schedule a trial run prior to the wedding day. But having your own personal makeup artist with you will give you the guarantee of getting the look you want from start to finish. You will have the makeup artist on hand from the very beginning until the absolute end for touch ups, mishaps, wardrobe changes, etc. He/she will be available for your rehearsal dinner, post-wedding brunch and even for the honeymoon send-off.

Taking a wedding vendor team with you may seem pricey, but your photos will be your memories to last a lifetime and then passed on for generations to come. You face is going to be in probably 90% of those pictures so it’s best not to skimp on your look or your photographer. Hiring reputable vendors will guarantee you have quality service and superior reliability. This is after all YOUR DAY!

The highs and lows of a wedding budget

The "dirty" word: If you have ever planned a wedding or have been around someone planning a wedding, there is one single word that makes even the most level-headed bride cringe. Budget. There, I said it. Cut and dry. Now that it's out in the open, let's discuss exactly why that word brings out the inner bridezilla. To start off with, ask any number of brides what their budget is, and I guarantee you will get just as many answers. Budgets can range from under $2,000 on up and past $200,000. It doesn't mean that any amount is better than another. Every wedding has a budget because every couple draws the dollar line somewhere. A budget just defines what you have to spend. Period. Nothing more, nothing less. A bigger budget doesn't make any one bride better than another, nor any wedding less important. So in short, every bride is a budget bride no matter the dollar amount. When you think of it that way, it can wrangle in the green-eyed...

Planning a Destination Wedding

Destination weddings have become increasingly more common. With a touch of added romance, zesty adventure and of course the sultry GETAWAY, a destination wedding can be just that little special touch you're looking for. Planning and organizing a wedding in another city, state or country can be overwhelming and downright nerve-wracking. Trusting wedding professionals is scary enough, but depending on those not within reach can be quite intimidating.  As quoted from theKnot.com in their Destination Wedding Basics: Top 13 Destination Wedding Tips, the Knot highly suggests  to "Bring pros you trust from home to handle critical aspects such as the wedding photography, hair and makeup, and design (lighting, flowers)." There are so many things that can go wrong; no-show vendors, inferior skills, misunderstandings due to a language barrier, makeup artists not familiar with your skin type, strange and unregulated cosmetic products, and of course, fear of the unknown...

Do I need a trial makeup consultation for my wedding?

This question comes up quite often so I decided to give you my thoughts. Do I need a trial makeup consultation for my wedding? In one simple word, no . I realize there are some makeup artists out there who will not, for whatever reason, provide wedding day makeup for a bride without first having a consultation. I am not one of those artists. Perhaps it stems from working in the film and print industry (outside of bridal) where I have learned to hone my skills and listen to what the client wants. Whether it's a model, photographer or producer requesting a specific look, I am confident in my ability to provide exactly what they envision for their project. My clients are pleased and everyone walks away satisfied with the results. My years of experience working as a makeup artist in Florida has given me a long history of wedding day makeup for destination brides. Very few of these brides are able to make all but the most required trips to plan their wedding day. Trying to schedule in ...
