Carissa arrived at the studio bright and early looking absolutely radiant and so excited about her big day!  She was my first client setting the tone for a lovely day. 🙂

We chatted a lot while doing hair and makeup. She mentioned her fiance’s mother had passed away from cancer.  To honor her Carissa had decided to donate her dress to Brides Against Cancer a company dedicated to giving brides-to-be, an opportunity to find the wedding gown of their dreams (at an incredible savings) while making wishes and dreams come true. Pretty incredible if you ask me.

Carissa was looking for something soft, beachy and very romantic.

She wanted a low loosely curled chignon with softness around the face. Her hair color is so pretty.

Carissa had brought her own lipstick.  I chose some peachy pink shades to complement the lip color. The foundation was airbrushed and we decided to add false eyelashes. Notice her pretty cheekbones!



Congratulations beautiful Carissa it was so wonderful to meet you and THANK YOU so much for the lovely review! :heart:

Me and my girls at the Miami Seaquarium

I just returned from Miami after a few days of fun with my family. We had a blast swimming with the dolphins, shopping, and eating at some fine restaurants. I’m back today full throttle. YAY!

You go out and have a beautiful day! :biggrin:
