Soft & Rosy Bridal Look

Working on finding the perfect look for the big day!

I know that it's typical for brides and the bridal party to get there makeup done by a hired team of professional MUAs, but to be honest I feel as if I'm going to just do it myself. I've done my makeup for stage for years, and lets not forget to mention I'm crazy picky!! I think that would be my number one concern having someone else doing it, that I wouldn't love it and would need to then try to fix it myself anyways... so instead of causing a panic I think this will be the simplest route. Also, it'll help on saving for the budget. Use the money else where right!

My only concern is figuring out what look I should go with. So I've been playing on my weekends to find the right colors and ways to create the perfect look. The look I'm sharing with you today is the "Soft & Rosy." I'm not gonna lie, I feel as this may be what I decide to go with. It's girly. It's dramatic, yet soft. There's shimmer! Also, I feel like the colors def compliment blue eyes and that's another thing we want to pop!

I created a full in depth tutorial on the look incase you're a bride to be looking for inspo, or even just in general! Also, this will help me make sure not to forget what I did until November.

I used only 1 palette for the eyes, which is a big plus too. Check out the tutorial (all the colors are listed in the description on my YT) and shop the makeup below😊

DIY Save the Dates

Every little step that leads us closer and closer the the wedding is getting me so excited. I am so happy our Save the Dates have started to go out. I decided to do them all on my own, so they're taking quite a bit if time to get them all complete. Luckily, I've had very little mess ups, so that's good.

I've mentioned before that Lar and I are trying to make everything as cost efficient as possible, so DIYing these most definitely helped in saving on cost. Once we finally got our engagement photos back we decided on the one we both liked best. Boy was that hard! I was in love with all of them, because Kaitlyn did such an amazing job capturing us. Then I just took to Canva and created it myself! I had a lot of fun playing around with the layouts I had in mind and choosing the perfect fonts and colors. To be honest I was really proud of myself for what I ended up making and Lar loved it too!

We ended up having one of our close friends print them for us, which was a huge savings and we're so thankful they could help us out with that. The texture of the cards are like suede, it's so nice! Then from there it was getting envelopes and getting them put together and out. I created a full DIY on how I created them and you can watch it here.

I love how they turned out keeping along with the fairytale feels as much as I possibly can! Invites will be up in no time and I have ideas, but not sure if I'll be able to DIY those. I'll for sure keep you updated on those as well though.

For all the information on where I got everything it's linked above in the video's description box.

We're 10 months out, can you believe it?!!

Our Engagement Shoot

We finally had our actual engagement shoot! It's only been how many months since the proposal, but that's ok. I am in love with them and we had so much fun during the shoot too. Kaitlyn made it so easy for us. It was playful and sweet and super romantic all wrapped together. I'm so glad to have these amazing moments captured because typically we only have selfies of us together. I can only imagine our actual wedding photos and how amazing they'll be.

There's also some really good out takes that she grabbed too. Those are some of the best moments to remember the laughs and fun we had!
