Stunning Bride: Tanyala’s Wedding – Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel (Chicago)

September 7, 2016 | Written By: Lena Clark Beauty

I met Tanyala a few months before her wedding day for a Bridal Preview session. After having worked with other makeup artists, Tanyala was a bit nervous. We discussed her wedding day beauty vision and were able to easily design and execute her perfect wedding day look. The soon-to-be Mrs. was pleased and grateful at the end of her preview session. I also had the pleasure of doing makeup for the Bridal Shower, so I was very familiar with Tanyala’s personal makeup preferences and needs prior to her wedding day.

Tanyala was an absolutely Stunning Bride. Her overall request was a natural glam look to go with her black tie affair. We achieved this look with a smokey gold lid with luxe lashes from House of Lashes (one of my absolute FAVORITE lash brands for Bridal), and added a red lip for a pop of color.

Tanyala upgraded her wedding day service to an All Inclusive Luxury Bridal Experience allowing me to stay with her for several hours after her makeup application to keep her look fresh and flawless. We made a few tweaks to her look for the fun reception festivities. Glitter anyone?!

In addition to working with the Bride, my second artist, Hidejah, and I also worked with the Bride’s mom and 8 of the ladies in the bridal party.

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. I’ve had to turn away many brides this season because I am already booked on their wedding date. Your wedding day is one of the biggest most important days of your life, and YOU will be photographed more than anything or anyone on this day. Don’t leave your wedding day beauty needs to chance. 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!
