January Wedding - WI Bride, Abby
This January, Abby and Ronnie celebrated their love with a beautiful winter wedding. The two spent their day in the heart of downtown La Crosse with their closest friends and family members. I was honored to be a part of their day as they became husband and wife.
Their getting-ready space was none other than The Charmant Hotel. If you know me, you know how BIG of a fan I am of this space! It has such gorgeous backdrop for getting-ready with so much character. The ladies rented two rooms that hooked together.
We set up the makeup area in the beautiful white and blue toned bathroom. The ladies were able to focus and relax during their time with me. We chatted about each of them and why they love the bride Abby so much. These ladies were extremely sweet. Each one sharing a list of reasons why the bride is so great. Get you a girl squad like this one!!!
After everyone's makeup was complete, it was FINALLY time for the bride! Abby was as cool as a cucumber on her wedding morning. I have NO idea how this bride was so calm, but I could tell she was 100% ready to marry her soulmate. There's something so special about the 30 minutes I get to spend with the bride the morning of her wedding.
Abby's request for her makeup was a soft and romantic. Their wedding was winter themed with light neutrals and golds. She wanted her makeup to look like herself, but all dolled up. This is one of my favorite looks to create. I gave Abby a full coverage, yet natural foundation, with medium contouring, warm mauve blush, full and long false lashes, and a rosey lip color she chose herself. Abby was an absolute dream on her wedding day!
