10 Make-up Tips Every Bride Needs to Know!

1.       Drink lots of water the days before the wedding and on the wedding day to add a glow to your skin and flush out any impurities
2.       Pluck eyebrows and moustache approximately a week before the wedding day to make sure there are no red bumps or rashes
3.       Spend the money on a good quality, long lasting lipstick for the wedding day. Assign one of the bridesmaids as your “checker”. Give your “checker” a big smile before every photo session to make sure there is no lipstick on your teeth.
4.       Make sure to use waterproof mascara in case of tears or sweating
5.       Keep a lipstick, powder and mascara in a similar shade in your purse for touch-ups throughout the day. In addition, if it’s a summer wedding you might even want to consider an extra nail polish for fixing up your toenails if you are wearing sandals or wedges.
6.       Schedule a test make-up session about 2 weeks prior to the wedding to ensure you are happy with the look
7.       Make sure the makeup artist does your makeup in the brightest spot possible to make certain they do a perfect job
8.       Don’t forget to wear a button down shirt when getting your hair and makeup done. You don’t want to end up having to be cut out of your shirt:P
9.       If a pimple arises on your wedding day. Cover it up. Do not pop it!
10.   Make sure to tell your makeup artist about the time of day for your wedding, the wedding colours and the shade of your dress (pure white, cream, champagne etc.).

If you are stressing about any of these details do not worry about it! Your wedding planner knows these and many other helpful tips and tricks. She/he will be there to ensure you look and feel amazing in every picture!

The Perfect Engagement Shoot


I really love engagement shoots. An engagement shoot is a completely personalized experience that allows a couple to really capture their love on a day to day basis. It also is a much less stressful and chaotic experience for the couple compared to photos on their wedding day. The location a couple chooses for their engagement photo shoot and the clothing they choose to wear expresses the life they live together. When I am planning a wedding and the couple chooses to do an engagement shoot I love to be involved. The engagement shoot is always a fun experience and I get to know the bride and groom that much better!

I wanted to create what I envisioned to be the perfect engagement shoot. I contacted Will from WJB Photography and explained to him my vision. I wanted to really show off Winnipeg’s amazing fields, as well as, the couple just being naturally happy spending time together. Will was on board right away! I then called Lindenwood Stylists Salon who did the brides beautiful hair. With the tight braid along the front and the loose curls she has a beautiful, yet relaxed look.

After much coordination and me making a few cute signs I managed to make this perfect engagement shoot come to fruition. Enjoy!
