Fall Wedding Makeup with Leah- Frog Pond Bed and Breakfast, Skaneateles NY

I think the best way to blog this bride's experience is through her own words in a review she wrote about us. Five stars is what we strive for and we're glad we delivered!

Holly and her team were recommended to me by my trusted hairstylist and they did not disappoint. They arrived exactly when they promised and were set up promptly without any questions or help from myself or my bridal party (as most brides can attest, having people ask you dozens of questions the morning of your wedding can be a little nerve-wracking--their calmness and professionalism really put me at ease.) Holly and Christina proceeded to complete a total of nine applications--myself, six bridesmaids, my mother, and mother-in-law-- beautifully, flawlessly and right on schedule. Being a less-is-more believer when it comes to everyday makeup I was a bit worried that I would look too "made-up." Holly really understood my concern and I could not have been more thrilled with the result of my makeup--I looked like me, just better. My makeup lasted so well throughout our entire wedding day (12+ hours from the time I got made up to when the reception ended) that I never reapplied even a slick of lipstick the whole day. The lashes Holly used are beyond words. They are so feathery and so beautiful, dozens of women at our wedding were dying to know where I got them and how they could get them too. Another incredible thing about Holly and her team is their versatility. While myself and some of my bridesmaids are minimal makeup wearers, I had some people in my party with very glamorous much more daring makeup styles. They were able to deliver a more dramatic look for those people while still fitting in with the overall look of the bridal party and not taking away from my look as the bride. Work aside, their personalities are so geniune and so nice--they truly are so happy to be a part of your day. I felt nothing but positivity from them and am looking for any excuse I can find to hire them again. Can't say enough good things about them!!

It was pretty chilly in Skaneateles and these girls made the best of it!

It wouldn't be  October in  Upstate New York without a little snow. Yup. Snow.

The Lodge at Welch Allyn: bridal makeup for Jessica and her girls in Skaneateles, NY

The morning of Jessica's December 29th wedding it was snowing. A lot. The drive to Skaneateles to the Old Stone Mill where Jessica and her girls were getting ready proved to be pretty eventful.Christina was riding with me to assist on makeup and we did a couple of 180's and 360's on the way to the girls and on the way home.
But the treacherous drive was well worth it to be with Jessica and her girls. Jessica's photographer, Aaron Varga  came from Pittsburgh, PA to shoot her wedding. He turned the bad weather into an ideal photo op
 He created some of the most beautiful bridal photos I have come across!

The flowers are so elegant. Whistlestop Florist created these masterpieces.

The umbrellas were a last minute detail. They are perfection



The Lodge at Welch Allyn is beautiful year round. But this shot at Jessica's December winter white wedding is pretty spectacular.
Even after having makeup and hair started at 9AM, Jessica still looks amazing at the end of her evening
