Hi Everyone!
Wow Its getting busy around here!!!! Each morning its like christmas opening up my email lol...I just love hearing from all of the Brides to Be..And i find myself wishing I could do everyone's wedding, ofcourse that is not the case...
Bridal trials have gone well with a few exceptional days where weather got in the way of all of the fun!!!! As we all know the storm of the century IN md/dc/va and then followed by A Second good sized one! We couldn't catch a break two weekends in a row!!!!! No fair lol
I am really looking forward to starting actually weddings next month and have bookings all the way up to the end of 2010 and the 2011 brides are starting to inquire..so all is well!
I am excited about the fact that i recently ordered a small book of some of my work to bring with me on trials... cant wait to see it!!! I Also plan to bring it with me to bridal events...
Last evening I attended a wonderful event the Serendipity 2010 at the valley mansion in cockeysville MD..gorgeous venue!!! and thrown my two class act vendors a MD photographer and MD event planner..Both so friendly..and talented!
I will blog all about them soon!!!! and hopefully share some photos from the event!
Until next time! Happy Wedding Planning and to my fellow Vendors keep up the great work!!!!

How to Hire a Makeup Artist
Makeup artists don’t just do weddings. If you want to look nice for a big event, find an expert! most of them do freelance work for a surprisingly affordable fee.
1.Shop around
2.Schedule a test run
3.Make yourself clear
4.Get the timing right
Make yourself clear. Once you’ve found someone you like, ask plenty of questions. How much does she charge? ($75 to $150 is typical, depending on where you live.) Will she bring her own makeup and brushes, or use yours? Make sure you’re entirely clear on the costs and your expectations, and speak up about anything she did during the test run that wasn’t perfect—“The eyes are heavier than I wanted” or “That lipstick washes me out”—so she has a chance to correct it.
Get the timing right. Schedule your appointment for about three hours before the event; that way, you won’t feel rushed, and the makeup will have a chance to settle. Be sure to tell her that you don’t want her to use a mix of lipstick shades, which makes touching up much more difficult. (Plan to buy the lip color from the makeup artist so you can take it with you that night—you shouldn’t need to reapply anything else.) And while a tip isn’t expected, you can always throw in an extra 10 percent if you’re really thrilled with the results.
