Stunning Bride: Baletica’s Wedding – The Living Room (Chicago, IL)

July 19, 2017 | Written By: Lena Clark Beauty

Lena Clark Beauty Chicago Bride

Baletica and I met for the very first time at her bridal preparation location, Angelica’s Place, on the afternoon of her wedding day. She wasn’t exactly sure how she wanted her makeup, but she knew she wanted a sexy glamorous look that incorporated the gold tones of her wedding.

When we were done, she looked in the mirror and absolutely loved her look!  We pushed a little outside of Baletica’s comfort zone by creating a champagne and golden smokey eye for a little glamorous drama. The skin was kept clean with light shading only. Then we finished off her look with a nude pink toned lip color.

Based on the reaction from Baletica’s partner, Kiara, she loved Baletica’s look too! Yay!

Baletica’s advice to future brides-to-be: “Try to relax! All that could be done has been by the day of so just enjoy the day from start to finish. Please remember to take a moment with your future spouse and just take it all in. It is going to fly by so try to live in each second.”

Note: Baletica graciously shared a few of her professional wedding photos, and her photographer Chante Burt, Chante Burt Photography granted permission for use on our website.

PSA – Brides, whether you plan to book with me, or someone else, please do not wait until the last minute to secure your wedding makeup artist and book your bridal previews. In the past, we’ve had to turn many brides away because we were already booked on their wedding date. Your wedding day is one of the biggest most important day of your life, and YOU will be photographed more than anything or anyone on this day. Don’t gamble with your wedding day beauty needs. You should plan to book your wedding makeup artist 9-12 months in advance. Once you secure your artist, book your Bridal Preview IMMEDIATELY and schedule it for 3-6 months before your wedding day. Happy planning!
