Lauren + David’s Summer Mount Ida Wedding

Sticky Post By Anne Kibler On June 8, 2023

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,

Hayley + Sam’s Verulam Farm Wedding

Sticky Post By Anne Kibler On December 31, 2022

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

Lauren and Preston’s Sunset Winery Wedding at Veritas

Sticky Post By Anne Kibler On January 3, 2022

Nothing is more swoony than a sunset—except for one with a beautiful bride with cascading curls, the autumnal views of a Virginia winery, and a celebration of true love. That’s exactly what we had in Lauren and Preston’s sunset winery wedding at Veritas winery.

With such a romantic setting, we decided to make our bride and her beautiful bridesmaids look as romantic and ethereal as possible. For Lauren, we kept her stunning brunette locks half-up and half-down with soft tendrils pulled to the front. Of course, when a bride is this gorgeous, we had to make sure her hair framed (but didn’t cover) her sparkling eyes and vibrant smile.

Speaking of those eyes, we played them up with a bit of smokiness around the outer corner and lighter hues over her lid and inner corners for a soft but bright look. We finished them with a bit of eyeliner along her lashline and amped up her already beautiful lashes.

We adored being part of Lauren and Preston’s sunset winery wedding and feel honored to be a small part of their love story. For more from this gorgeous affair, check out some of our favorite moments below.

Bentley + Michael’s Classic Farmington Country Club Wedding

Sticky Post By Anne Kibler On March 19, 2018

Classic designs, a chic + clean palette, and a gorgeous bride? Yes, please! Bentley + Michael’s Farmington Country Club wedding ticked all of our wedding boxes, and it’s fair to say that we’ve got heart eyes over this entire affair. If you’ve ever wanted to know what the perfect, traditional big day looks like, Bentley + Michael’s will have you day dreaming for the rest of the week.

Of course for us, it’s the bride that makes the wedding, and Bentley could not have been more lovely. We kept her deep brown locks down and in loose curls, but swept them to the side so that guests (but most importantly Michael) could see her bridal glow. For her makeup, we focused on her eyes. Darkening up the corners and keeping the lid light brightened up her more smoky look for the best of both worlds. Of course, no bride is complete without glowing skin.

Farmington Country Club provided the ideal, classic venue for this pair’s nuptials, and with the crisp white florals and linens and golden details, this Charlottesville wedding was the height of elegance. We were so pleased to be part of Bentley + Michael’s wedding day, and now, we’re lucky enough to share some of our favorite moments with you.

Love,

The Charlottesville Makeup Artist Team

Jaimee and Mike’s Trump Winery Grand Hall wedding took place on a rainy day in Charlottesville, Virginia but that didn’t stop this fun couple from having the time of their lives (just look at the pictures from Aaron Watson Photography)!

We were thrilled to be a part of such a beautiful celebration by providing professional makeup services for Jaimee and her bridesmaids. We used a dewey makeup palette and the blushing bride glowed throughout the day — rain or shine!
