Old Hollywood Glam Wedding with Hair and Makeup by Swell Beauty

By, May 17, 2012

When I started this business, I really wanted my brides to stand out, and look exceptional! Since my first day in business, I have made it a point to take part in all aspects of the bride’s hair and makeup needs, right down to making sure that all my client’s hair and skin are prepared for the engagement shoot, bridal trial run and big day. I work hard to differentiate my company by paying attention to the small details, and providing quick customer service!

My stylists and I apply the techniques and skills we have learned as professionals to make our brides look and feel beautiful on their special day. As an on-location hair and makeup company, we recently worked with Allyson at her wedding at the US Grant in downtown San Diego. Allyson and Shay were going for the Hollywood glam look, with a vintage flair and bold colors. Allyson chose the vibrant colors of a peacock bird to incorporate into her overall look.

We tied the whole look together with a finger wave hairdo and glamorous makeup, paired with bold red lips!

Our bride’s hair was so much fun to do. I  loved working with her birdcage and feather jeweled hair piece. It was the perfect touch to her overall vintage inspired look.

This picture really shows how sweet the ladies in the bridal party were. We had a blast doing all their hair and makeup!

I love how Allyson’s hair and makeup look in this picture. It shows her distinctive finger wave and bold red lips. It all came together on the big day, and her look turned out gorgeous!
