hmu Trial Pics!

Christy, on August 15, 2019 at 3:01 AM Posted in Hair and Makeup 1 16

I'm just over three weeks out from the big day, and I finally had my HMU trials today. Posting pictures below of my inpso style and what we ended up with. First, Seattle brides, if you need a stylist, I have a great recommendation! Mine has done weddings for two of my friends (one a bridesmaid, the other a wedding guest), and both looked STUNNING on their days. Today she made me feel EXACTLY how I wanted to feel. Holy moly, I could not be happier.

I have really deep-set eyes, and I wear bold makeup with contouring frequently, so I asked her to go a bit more bold than the inspo photo. She totally NAILED the old Hollywood look of the photo while making the look seem more "me".

I have two dresses, so we're changing lipstick to match the dress looks, hence the two lip looks in the photos.

Things started to feel really, really real today, and I'm so excited!!

    WOW Christy!! Both are so beautiful!! Did you always know that you wanted to have 2 dresses? Which one is for your ceremony and which is for your reception? 😊

    The sheath-style dress is for the ceremony as it's more understated and "stripped down." The champagne colored, mermaid dress is the reception dress as it's much more over-the-top.

    I actually told myself specifically that I would NOT get two dresses. Ha! When I went dress shopping with my bridesmaids, the reception dress was clearly "my" dress - it was what people would expect from me - dramatic, big personality. However, I tried on the ceremony dress, and the girls all cried. It brought forward a much softer, understated part of my personality that doesn't tend to come out at events where I'm "on stage" as I will be the wedding day.

    That day, I purchased the reception dress and told my FH about the ceremony dress, but I was sure I wouldn't end up purchasing it. Well, I thought about it for two weeks before I called back and ordered it - I got emotional thinking of the dress and couldn't get it out of my mind. That understated side of my personality is a part of me that my FH absolutely loves, and it feels like it will help to bring out a really personal, intimate moment on an otherwise crazy fun day.

    So yeah, definitely didn't know I was doing two dresses!
