I had my hair and makeup trial yesterday and finally realized I’m getting married very very very soon. Something about putting a veil on your head makes it all seem very real and immediate. Hang on, I need to wrap my head around all this.
………
Okay. Onto the pics.
First, I had vague ideas about how I wanted my hair and makeup done. I was thinking a loose curly bun/chignon, maybe to the side.
After seeing my birdcage veil and pics of my dress, both the hairdresser and makeup artist agreed: a curly side bun and red lip! I never thought I could pull off red lipstick, but after trying a bold red and then a softer rose, we decided… bold red it was! Red lipstick is instantly sass-ifying!
Before, on a gloriously humid June day:
And the after, fully made-up and hair-did:
Close-up on the makeup:
It’s all coming together now! For me, it took a veil and sassy red lipstick. When did it all become “real” to you?
You look amazing! And you have such incredible eyes - they’re simply breathtaking.
Holy crap woman! You are freaking beautiful! The veil, the eyes, the lips… it’s perfection. I see some fierce bridal pics are in your future 
I don’t see myself as a bride yet, but I have a feeling dress fittings will start to make it real for me.
Oooo la la! You look amazing lady! I love it all - the red lips, the veil, the curls
