Lauren + Tom’s Romantic Spring Trump Winery Wedding

bridal makeup

A classic affair meets romantic whimsy? Where do we sign up? Lauren + Tom’s Trump Winery wedding is everything we love about tradition. From tuxes and ball gowns to a classic palette of navy, gold, and white with subtle pops of deep pink, this springtime affair is the epitome of everlasting elegance.

While Tom’s black tuxedo was all tradition, Lauren’s layered ball gown brought the whimsy. With flowing tulle and ruching along the bodice, it was a fairytale in a dress. To complement the stunning gown, we pulled Lauren’s dark locks away from her face and off her shoulders in a spiraling wedding up-do. For her makeup, it was all about the eyes. A subtle bit of liner and gorgeous lashes were the name of the makeup game.

Once Lauren was ready, she and Tom shared a sweet first look under the clear blue skies at Trump Winery. Soon, they were joined by their dapper groomsmen and beautiful bridesmaids to kick off their vows.

With the spring day so clear, why pass up an outdoor ceremony? The pair exchanged vows on a gorgeous terrace overlooking the green hills of Trump Winery and like new couples do, sealed their love with a kiss.

As for the party? It was perfect parts elegant romance, stunning dinner, and must-attend party. With gorgeous flowers, sparkling candelabras, and the joyous bride and groom, this big day was unforgettable.

We were so happy to be part of Lauren + Tom’s Trump Winery wedding, and we’re sharing some of the day’s most beautiful moments with you. Take a peek!

Love,

Rachel + Will’s Classic Black-Tie Wedding at Farmington Country Club

 

 

W0236_0487

Nothing says timeless like a classic black-tie wedding, and that’s exactly what Rachel + Will’s Farmington Country Club wedding was. From the stunning peach and pink tones to the church ceremony and beautiful reception, it was everything you could want from traditional nuptials, and maybe even a bit more thanks to our gorgeous bride Rachel.

For Rachel’s wedding, we wanted to keep her look traditional yet romantic. To do so, we swept her hair back, but we also kept it low and loose to avoid any sort of harshness. For her wedding makeup, we did the same. We moved away from anything harsh and instead embraced a bridal glow on the skin with a bit of flush on the cheeks. For her eyes, we defined them but kept the colors neutral.

Being part of Rachel + Will’s stunning wedding was a joy, and we’re so excited to show you some of our favorite moments.

Love,

The Charlottesville Makeup Artist LLC Team

Eliza + Charlie’s Classic & Elegant Homestead Wedding

There is something about a classic wedding that makes us giddy. From a traditional church ceremony to a black-tie dress code and romantic meets elegant decor, there’s a reason we’re dubbing Eliza + Charlie’s Homestead wedding a classic. We fell head over heels for this bride and groom, and we can’t wait to share some of our favorite moments with you.

Of course, our favorite part of any wedding day is our bride, and Eliza was a true gem. With her beaming smile and chic style, we made sure that her beauty was shown off by sweeping her hair back into a classic bun that allowed us to show off her gorgeous features. For her makeup, we kept things defined by natural. We used neutral tones on the eyes and defined her lash line with a bit of black liner. For her lips, we went with a glossy sheen that had a hint of a light berry hue.

We adored working with Eliza, and we’re so excited to show off her gorgeous wedding day at The Homestead.

Love,

The Charlottesville Makeup Artist Team

Rachel + Marc’s Summer Keswick Hall Wedding

R_M_CouplePortraits-66

Clear skies, love in the air, and warm temperatures? It sounds like the perfect recipe for a wedding, right? Well, for Rachel + Marc’s summer Keswick Hall wedding, it was. This big day combined all the romance of wine hues and flowing florals with the classic setting of Keswick Hall, and it was impossible for us not to stare at Josh & Serena‘s gorgeous images of the affair.

While the entirety of this wedding has us wishing for the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, we must admit that Rachel may have just been our favorite part. Her classic beauty was easy to showcase, so we swept her hair back from her face and added romantic curls to her long locks. For her makeup, we defined her gorgeous eyes with black liner and kept her skin glowy. Finishing off the look, we added a neutral lip, and this bride was the obvious star of the day.

Everything about Rachel + Marc’s summer wedding at Keswick Hall screamed romantic elegance, and we were thrilled to be part of their day. From the sweet vows to the beautiful, intimate portraits, there’s so much to love here, and we can’t wait to show you.

Love,

The Charlottesville Makeup Artist Team

Lucie + Nick’s Classic Mount Ida Farm Wedding

AWPFavorites098

There’s something about a fresh, white palette and classic florals that will always make hearts aflutter. That’s certainly the case with Lucie + Nick’s classic Mount Ida Farm wedding. This beautiful couple’s rustic meets classic feté was filled with sweet, intimate moments, stunning details, and southern tradition (hello, buried bourbon).

For her wedding day, Lucie looked absolutely breathtaking in her lace gown. We kept her hair soft and romantic in a half up, half down style with a jeweled clasp holding back her dark locks. As for her makeup, the eyes have it. We subtly smoked out her outer corner but kept her lid bright to keep her eyes looking bright and awake. With a smokier eye look, we chose to keep her lips sweet and subtle with a bit of pink gloss.

Lucie shone throughout her big day as she and Nick said their vows and celebrated with friends. From the classic tradition of burying the bourbon to a romantic, al fresco ceremony, and classic reception, this pair’s Mount Ida Farm wedding was one for the books.

Love,

The Charlottesville Makeup Artist Team
