Some weddings are effortlessly elegant, and Ellie and Ryan’s celebration at Keswick Vineyards was exactly that. Surrounded by rolling vineyards, breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountain views, and soft blush florals, every detail reflected their timeless vision. Our Team at Charlottesville Wedding Hair and Makeup Artist was honored to help Ellie and her bridal party begin the day feeling confident, relaxed, and beautiful.
Ellie envisioned a bridal look that felt timeless, romantic, and completely true to herself. Her elegant lace gown, cathedral-length veil, and soft floral palette created a refined style that perfectly complemented the beauty of Keswick Vineyards.
For her bridal hairstyle, Ellie chose a classic low bun with soft curls framing her face. The style was polished without feeling overly formal, creating a romantic look that beautifully complemented her gown and veil. The gentle curls softened her features while the elegant low bun remained flawless from the ceremony through the last dance.
For her makeup, Ellie wanted to look like the very best version of herself. We created a soft, fresh, and timeless bridal look with glowing skin, softly defined eyes, fluttery lashes, and a delicate blush pink lip. The makeup enhanced her natural beauty while feeling lightweight and comfortable, creating a polished finish that looked just as beautiful in person as it did in every photograph.
The bridal party beautifully complemented the overall vision of the day. Dressed in dusty rose satin gowns and carrying abundant white bouquets, they brought warmth and softness to every photograph. Each bridesmaid wore a hairstyle that suited her individual style, from elegant low buns to soft half-up styles and loose romantic waves, while fresh, natural makeup completed every look.
With the Blue Ridge Mountains in the distance and the venue’s iconic stone fountain adorned with cascading white and blush florals, Ellie and Ryan exchanged heartfelt vows surrounded by family and friends. Their ceremony was both intimate and breathtaking, followed by an evening filled with joyful celebrations, heartfelt toasts, and unforgettable memories.
At Charlottesville Wedding Hair and Makeup Artist, we believe every bride deserves to feel confident, beautiful, and completely present on her wedding day. Creating beautiful hair and makeup is only part of what we do. Our goal is to provide a calm, personalized experience that allows every bride to relax, soak in every moment, and begin one of life’s most meaningful celebrations feeling like the very best version of herself.
“What an AMAZING experience. Amanda and Rory were such an incredible duo for hair and makeup on my wedding day. They made the getting ready experience so easy, fun, and stress free, and did a truly incredible job. They were able to take everything from my trial and adjust as needed to make everything perfect! Some of my bridesmaids commented that night how well their makeup stayed on top, no melting or smudging. They were amazing at keeping time, and kind enough to show up early even with a slight delay in accessing the property. I could not recommend them enough, especially with how great they were with a big group! We had 10 ladies total and there was never a worry about finishing on time. Thank you so much!!!” —Ellie
It was an absolute honor to be part of Ellie and Ryan’s beautiful celebration, and we wish them a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and countless wonderful memories together.
