**DISCLAIMER // This wedding was booked through Eye Do Hair and Talent Agency, not with Declan + Mae, so I'm posting this giving them the credit. I want us all to be on the same page. Eye Do had reached out to me about scheduling a trial run with Kelly the week of her wedding in early June. She was an out of town bride and I know that can be extremely difficult planning an event like this when you're in a totally different city. Below are the trial products and pictures I too

I'm beginning to feel all the love for Nashville Wedding Collection and their photography skills. It seriously makes all the difference to have a high quality team of photographers on your wedding day. If there's something you DON'T skimp on, it's hair/makeup and photography. Nichole and I did hair and makeup for Anna and her ladies for her wedding day at the end of October. The venue was Saint Matthew Church and we got ready at their house nearby. Nichole was the lead and ac

Sidney and Stephen have traveled and moved a lot due to his job and they were finally able to get their wish to head back home to Cincinnati, Ohio. You can just imagine the joy both of their parents had when they heard the news. They lived in Nashville during one of those moves for a brief period and decided it was the perfect spot to get married. Working a destination wedding is so much fun to me because you get to know people who haven't been in Nashville much (if any at al

I have been literally waiting in anticipation for my first same sex wedding and this weekend was that time. I was contacted through the bridal team I'm contracted with, Eye Do Hair and Makeup Talent Agency, to service the one of brides for hair and makeup and they also brought in two other artists for the big day for the other bridesmaids. Nicole and Kaitlyn are from Des Moines, Iowa, and wanted to get married with friends and family in Nashville. I trialed with Nicole and Wh

This wedding was probably a first for me because I did not provide beauty services for the bride or any of her bridesmaids. I was hired through my bridal company, Eye Do, to provide hair and makeup for the ladies on the groom's side of the family. I did hair and makeup for the groom's adoptive mom, grandmother, and several of his sisters. Crazy enough, one of Rich's sisters got married a month ago in the Savannah, GA area and Eye Do also had artists at that event. So it's a s

This wedding was a little bit of a special circumstance, but I was more than happy to step in at the last minute. Shae was an out-of-town bride that hired Eye Do Hair and Makeup Talent Agency to do hair and makeup for her wedding. And if you've been reading my posts before then you know that's like my bridal mother ship. Shae trialed hair and makeup with another artist but did not like the outcome of it, so we trialed the day before her wedding in hopes that it would work out

I haven't been to this venue yet in Arrington, TN, but OMG it's gorgeous! The Barn at Sycamore Farms has a stunning barn next to the water and it's just open and perfect for all sorts of decorating. It's also got a pretty sick "getting ready" room with plenty of room to spread out with all the products in your kit. I got booked for hair and makeup through my bridal company, Eye Do Hair and Makeup Talent Agency (sometimes it's good to have others do all the communicating when

If I could pick the perfect month of the year for a wedding (sunny weather, not to hot and not too cold), I think I'd go back in time and get married in April. It was an exceptionally beautiful weekend for Sarah and Adam's wedding in Nashville, considering they're from out of state and you never know what the expect with weather in Tennessee, but it could not have been more perfect. The bridal company I'm contracted with, Eye Do Hair and Makeup Talent Agency, booked myself an

We all know wedding season is slow this time of year, but it was SO worth it when I found out that this was an Indian wedding. Sarah and Ayan had the traditional Indian wedding first and then did a traditional American wedding the same night all at Embassy Suites in Murfreesboro. Nichole was the lead artist and Kati and I were the secondary artists working hair and makeup alongside each other. They wanted pretty typical wedding makeup and hair but once they began getting dres

I was asked to help with hair and makeup from my wedding company I'm a part of, Eye Do, kind of last minute, but I was so happy to jump in when they needed me. This wedding was planned with another artist but she had to call out sick. The wedding party is from New York and they were so much fun to get to know while we pampered them at Green Door Gourmet Event Venue. I did hair and makeup for three of the girls and just hair for two others. I've been having a hard time trackin

I don't know if you guys ever get bored of me showing another wedding, but I could seriously do this the rest of my life. This appointment was set up through Eye Do and I worked it with fellow artist, Brie Beckman. We met at Opryland Hotel in Nashville to get ready and the wedding actually took place at Drakewood Farm in Goodlettsville. The wedding party was so funny while we were getting ready. One of the girls was asking if room service could run across the street to get th

I don't know how I haven't worked a wedding at any golf courses yet, but apparently they're a popular venue. I was assigned to work hair and makeup through Eye Do at the Hermitage Golf Course this weekend with Brie and Char. Brie was the lead and Char and I did any other services needed for the party. It was such a beautiful day for a wedding and was and always are happy to be a party of the wedding day. Here are some before and after pictures of hair and makeup and hopefully

Hello again! I'm so happy to share my hair and makeup services from this weekend's wedding. I trialed with Ashley while she was in town--it's another destination wedding, yay!-- and we did a natural face with a classic low bun for her hair. I did both hair and makeup for other ladies in the party as well. Sometimes I hate doing both because that means I have to lug both kits to the venue, but that's the only reason. Here are my hair and makeup pictures. **EDIT** I've gone bac

So this wedding was a little new for me. It was a wedding through Eye Do but I had never met the bride before. You usually want to trial with someone before trusting them with your face and head on your wedding day, but she seemed cool with everything. A very cool-headed bride and was fun to get to know the couple of hours we were getting ready. Crystal wanted a soft "50's style" curl to her hair and a soft "Kim Kardashian" makeup look. I also did makeup for her daughter, Car

Jenna was another Eye Do bride of mine. We trialed about a month ago, per us--I want to shorten "usual" but how in the hell do you spell that?-- Anywho, Jenna had a wedding of a friend to attend in Chattanooga when we trialed so that was the perfect day to test out her own hair and makeup. We ended up tweaking the hair just a smidge for the wedding this weekend, but everything else remained the same: soft and natural. Here's my trial picture and below are the wedding pictures

I think this was officially my first bride being scheduled with Eye Do! Yay me!! Aly and I trialed for hair and makeup while they were in town from the Boston area visiting Nashville. I never really thought Nashville to be such a destination wedding but it totally is! And I've got so many on the schedule from out of state as well. Who woulda thunk. **Edit** I've gone back and added pictures from the photographer from the wedding day. Aren't the colors so beautiful in this hot

So this is my first official wedding assigned with Eye Do! **WOAHHH** I was so nervous and excited this weekend that I felt so clumsy during my makeup applications and just in life. Lol. I was assigned for 6 makeups but ended up doing one extra for the bride's mom since I got done a little early. But then in the end, was later than the other artists and was cleaning up while the photographer was shooting bridal party pictures in the suite. If you haven't ever visited The Bell
