As you may have seen in my last makeup post, I had the opportunity to work with an amazingly talented group of women in the Twin Cities recently!

Hair and makeup

When you’ve bought a stunning dress, you want to do it justice and look your best. Hair and makeup are really important, even if you’re having a low-key wedding. You may think you know exactly what you want in terms of styles, but it’s always advisable to book some trials. The hairstyle you had in mind may not live up to expectation, and you may find that the makeup looks you’ve been cooing over on Instagram don’t bring out your best features.
