HIRE A PRO<br />

Everyday beauty is very<br />

different from bridal<br />

beauty—a lot more goes<br />

into it. A professional’s<br />

tools and products will<br />

be top of the line, made<br />

to last and will also<br />

photograph beautifully.<br />

DO A TRIAL<br />

It’s important to know<br />

if your stylist can give<br />

you what you want and<br />

if that look suits you.<br />

You should know what<br />

to expect so there are<br />

no surprises on your<br />

wedding day.<br />

BEST<br />

ROMANTIC<br />

Calling all bridechillas. This<br />

is the boho bride’s answer to<br />

a signature scent. A unique<br />

blend of oakmoss, plum<br />

and freesia is all about the<br />

wild contrast of soft, fruity<br />

notes and sharp florals.<br />

Nomade, $105 for 1.7 oz.,<br />

YOU DO YOU<br />

<strong>com</strong>fortable and like the<br />

best version of yourself.<br />

SPEAK UP<br />

It’s our job to make you<br />

look and feel beautiful,<br />

so don’t be afraid to let<br />

your stylist know what<br />

you want and if there<br />

perfect your look.<br />
