June weddings have a magic of their own—long sunlit days, warm breezes, and love in full bloom. But Emily’s Mount Ida Farm wedding? It was pure radiance from start to finish. From the moment we arrived to get her and her bridal party ready, the energy in the room was electric. There’s something about a bride who’s truly present in the moment—Emily was that bride. Joyful, glowing, and absolutely beaming with happiness, she made our job so easy and rewarding.
For her bridal look, Emily wanted something elegant yet modern. We styled her hair into a soft, low bun, a classic yet romantic choice that suited her beautifully. The delicate hair jewelry she chose added just the right touch of sparkle, catching the light perfectly as she moved.
Her makeup was all about enhancing her natural beauty—soft bronzy tones that brought warmth to her complexion, a subtle glow on her cheeks, and a radiant finish that lasted all day (and well into the night). She wore a stunning shoulderless gown, which framed her glowing skin beautifully, making her look every bit the dream bride.
Her bridesmaids were just as breathtaking! They wore a stunning mix of burgundy-to-pink hues, each in a different style that reflected their individual personalities. Mismatched bridesmaid dresses have a way of making a bridal party look effortlessly chic, and this was no exception. Some went for soft curls, others sleek updos—each style carefully chosen to complement both their dresses and personal taste. Seeing them all together, glowing with excitement, was a moment we won’t forget.
And then there was the floral décor—lush pink blooms, romantic arrangements, and an overall ambiance that felt straight out of a fairytale. The soft florals paired beautifully with the elegant wedding aesthetic, creating a dreamy, love-filled atmosphere that made the entire day feel extra special. There’s just something about pink florals at a summer wedding that makes everything feel even more romantic.
One of the things we love most about our work is creating a beauty experience that feels just as special as the day itself. We don’t just do hair and makeup—we bring out the best in our brides and their closest friends, making sure they not only look stunning but also feel their absolute best.
Weddings are about love, connection, and those little in-between moments—the happy tears, the joyful laughter, and the confidence that comes from knowing you look and feel amazing, and that confidence is exactly what the Charlottesville Wedding Hair and Makeup Artist team delivers!
“Working with Anne and her team was an incredible experience from start to finish. From the initial booking to the hair and makeup trial to execution on the wedding day, Anne and her team made things easy and seamless. The hair and makeup artists are extremely skilled and executed the vision perfectly.
Even when I didn’t always have the right words to describe what I wanted, they took the time to help me figure it out. One of the greatest things I appreciated was that they were very intentional about noting the small tweaks we talked about during the trial and making those adjustments on the wedding day so that my look came out PERFECT.
I felt very heard and cared for during the whole experience, which just made the day that much more special (and took a huge stressor off my plate!). They also did hair and makeup for my 7 bridesmaids, my mom, mother in law, aunt, and the flower girl. Everyone looked incredible – and it was fun!
I can’t thank Anne and her team enough for everything they did to help make the getting-ready experience on our wedding day run smoothly. 10/10 recommend. “
Emily’s Mount Ida Farm wedding was a perfect reflection of love, happiness, and all the little details that make a wedding day truly unforgettable. And we’re beyond grateful to have been a part of it!
