For Black Brides Only: the Ultimate Wedding Planning Companion for Black Women

February 24, 2026 | Written By: Lena Clark Beauty

Over ten years ago Lena Clark Smith, Owner & Lead Make Artist @ luxury destination bridal makeup company Lena Clark Beauty, picked up a makeup brush and stepped in front of a camera to showcase and highlight the beauty in Black brides. As engagement season comes to a close, Lena is excited to announce the launch of a 10+ year passion project For Black Brides Only: The Ultimate Wedding Companion for Black Women – and it’s ALREADY ranked as a “Top New Release” after launching last week on Amazon – to help Black women navigate the nuances of the wedding planning process as a Black woman.

“Being inside the inner circle for so many brides allowed me to see the joy, the stress, and the gaps & blockers many brides faced during wedding planning.” ~ Lena Clark Smith

Black brides deserve something created intentionally for us, by one of us!

Representation matters! Support matters! Intention matters!

This isn’t just a planner. It’s a full wedding companion designed to help Black brides not only plan their wedding day with clarity and intention while protecting their peace and honoring their culture, but to also help them prepare for a strong, healthy, long lasting marriage.

If you’re a Black bride – or hope to be one – this wedding planner was created with you in mind!

Now available on Amazon!

Happy planning!

*Please note, Lena Clark Beauty currently only services destination brides.
