I'm a girl that loves to get all dolled up – I often frequent DryBar locations and have had GlamSquad come to my Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan apartment to primp me for my engagement photo shoot in November 2017. Adelyn's Canvas is a preferred vend...or for NYIT de Seversky Mansion, which is where we had our second (yes, second) wedding on 9/15/18. Jaclyn Accetta, my wedding planner (Leah Weinberg of Color Pop Events), and I did a whole lot of emailing back and forth about pricing, how many girls for which days (first wedding was on 9/14/18), and everything ran so smoothly for both the hair/makeup trial dates and the wedding dates.
I contracted with Adelyn's Canvas, receiving makeup artist Devon Griffin for both 9/14 and 9/15. Adelyn's sister company for hair, Ahern Beauty, provided me with hairstylist Danielle Nelson for 9/14 and Candy Diaz for 9/15. I am basically at a loss of words for the magic that each of the women performed on both myself, my bridesmaids, my mother, and new-nieces! Everyone looked absolutely radiant on both evenings!
That being said, due to scheduling issues, I did end up having the same makeup artist for both nights and two separate hair stylists for the weddings. This worked out fine! I ended up having two beauty trials in my Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan apartment (it was lovely for the girls to travel), as I had two completely different wedding looks: 9/14 was a glittery eye/maroon lip, long hair extensions half up/down, dramatic look for the Hindu wedding, while 9/15 had a more traditional 'bridal' look with softer makeup tones and an updo. We tried a light application of airbrush foundation (loved it!), while both hairstylists nailed it on the first try going off of my inspiration photos. Each woman was so lovely to work with, arrived early and with such joy in their faces to be a part of my special day. At the end of the beauty routines, the hugs were plentiful as I was amazed at how beautiful both myself and my loved ones looked.
