Lauren + David’s Summer Mount Ida Wedding

If you miss warm weather or continual blue skies, Lauren + David’s summer Mount Ida wedding is going to give you all the summertime vibes you’ve been missing. From the outdoor vows with a stunning view of the mountains and a romantic fountain to the natural, farmhouse reception, there’s something for everyone at this wedding. If you need 2020 wedding inspiration, Lauren + David’s big day will give it to you.

Of course, we’re a bit partial to Lauren and her bridal look. Honestly, if you need some bridal looks to add to your Pinterest boards, hers should certainly be one (if we do say so ourselves). For her hair, we swept her blonde locks back into an intricate updo that sat low at the top of her neckline in order to show off the back of her dress. We added bits of floral details and tendrils around her face for some romance. Lauren’s makeup focused on her beautiful eyes, but we kept things natural by focusing on neutral tones that complemented her stunning features.

We were so happy to be part of Lauren + David’s summer Mount Ida wedding, and we hope you love this sneak peek at their nuptials.

Love,

The Charlottesville Makeup Artist LLC Team

Kathy + John’s Al Fresco Swan Cove Manor Wedding

0211-JKR-Eastern-shore-md-wedding-6908

They say that brides glow on their wedding day, and that couldn’t be more true of our bride, Kathy. As for her new husband John, if smiles could light up cities, these two have enough wattage to power New York itself. Kathy + John’s Swan Cove Manor wedding isn’t just filled with love, smiles, and enough laughter to make you giggle at your screen, though. It’s particularly beautiful because it’s close to our hearts here at Charlottesville Makeup Artists as Kathy is our founder Anne’s sister.

Of course, that means we had to be part of this pair’s big day, and it was one for the books. Kathy looked lovely in her boho BHLDN gown, and her long tresses trailed down her back in a waterfall of curls. As for her makeup, we kept her look natural because that mega-watt smile was the real star.

After Kathy was ready, she and John shared a sweet waterfront first look that was basically magical (No, really, see it for yourself). Afterward, the pair said their vows in an open air ceremony under a beautiful canopy of trees, and what’s a wedding without a celebration? Sweet succulent accents, burlap runners, white linens, and neutral hues gave this boho affair a natural touch that was perfect for the al fresco setting.

Kathy + John’s Swan Cove Manor wedding was one for the books, and one we’ll always cherish. Take a look at some of our favorite images from this romantic celebration.

Love,

The Charlottesville Makeup Artist Team

Hayley + Sam’s Verulam Farm Wedding

While winter may be ramping up, we at Charlottesville Makeup Artist LLC are still living in fall thanks to all of the stunning weddings we were part of. Hayley + Sam’s Verulam Farm wedding was one fall wedding we just couldn’t help but share. From Hayley’s smile that could light up a room to this couple’s sweet first look, we are so happy that we got to be part of this pair’s bid day.

Of course, while every moment of this Verulam Farm wedding was beautiful, it was Hayley who we couldn’t take our eyes off of. For her makeup look, we decided to give our bride a slightly smoky outer corner to play up her beautiful natural, almond eye shape and kept the rest of her look neutral and soft. As for her hair, Hayley’s bridal updo is one of our favorites. The intricate lacing in the back added a modern dimension and texture to the classic style, and we left soft pieces to fall around her face for a romantic touch.

We’re still staring at these gorgeous moments from Hayley + Sam’s wedding day and hope you enjoy seeing their love as much as we did.

Love,

The Charlottesville Makeup Artist LLC Team

Jen + Jay’s Rustic Lydia Mountain Wedding

RothbergMartinez-116

Jen + Jay’s Lydia Mountain wedding has all the rustic meets natural touches we love. From greenery laced tables to a rustic mountain lodge, this big day captured by Bert Reed Photography is everything you could want from a big day.

Of course, Jen’s makeup and hair were our favorite part of the wedding day. In fact, we loved working with Jen so much that we even gave you a little sneak peek of her look on our social media pages. For her wedding day, we worked together to craft a romantic and loose half-up, half-down look that complimented her stunning gown. As for her makeup look, we wanted to keep things natural but defined. We used eyeliner to give her eyes some definition and kept her skin fresh and dewy with a natural lip.

Jen + Jay’s Lydia Mountain wedding was a dream to be part of, and we’re so excited to show you some of our favorite moments.

Love,

The Charlottesville Makeup Artist LLC Team

Mikal + Alex’s Boxwood Villa Wedding

Mikal and Alex

Ah, sweet summertime. We miss you over here at Charlottesville Makeup Artist LLC, but we can relive some of our favorite summer weddings until temperatures start to warm. Mikal + Alex’s Boxwood Villa wedding was certainly one of them. This pair’s wedding combined rustic charm and romance in the perfect way, and we can’t get enough.

Another thing we’ll never get tired of? Seeing Mikal on her wedding day. This beautiful brunette bride was a blast, and we adored working with her. For her makeup look, we kept things all about the eyes. Using an eyeliner, we defined her last line and played up her eyelashes while leaving the rest of her look neutral. As for her hair, it was a mix of classic meets romantic. We swept her brunette locks back into a curling, intricate updo and left tendrils falling around her face.

Sure, winter may be here now, but take a moment and remember all the summer lovin’ — particularly Mikal + Alex’s.

Love,

The Charlottesville Makeup Artist LLC Team
