Bridal Spotlight: Danielle

By | Makeup, On Location, Photography, Prép Beauty Parlour, Weddings

Another happy bride from Prép Beauty Parlour! Danielle was married on Sunday, May 17th at Vandusen Gardens, one of Vancouver’s most breathtaking and enchanting wedding venues. The Prép Beauty Team got Danielle & her wonderful bridal party ready at the Sandman Hotel in Richmond, British Columbia in the early afternoon. Bridal hair and makeup done by Mika and Faye, bridesmaids and mother’s done by Lisa, Crystal, Faye and Mika. We loved Danielle’s subtle but stunning makeup and her soft, romantic curls; she was truly a radiant bride!

My bridesmaids and I all looked flawless. Faye gave me a down-do with loose curls that literally lasted all day long, through hours of outdoor ceremony and photo taking and even through all the dancing at the reception. The makeup that Mika applied stayed picture perfect as well – nothing ran, I didn’t look shiny (which for me is usually a given by the end of the day – and it was hot out), and I have wedding photos that look like we all walked out of a magazine. I had never felt more beautiful.” – Bride Danielle, 2015.

Danielle’s 5 lovely bridesmaids wore alternating style black dresses, a somewhat untraditional but simple color choice that contrasted beautifully and flattered everyone. The colours created a classic, elegant, and timeless look for the photos, and tied in perfectly with her “modern organic” theme. Danielle chose to have 2 different dresses for her special day, the first for her ceremony was a gorgeous strapless Monique Lhuillier gown with a fuller skirt that gave off a perfect princess-esque vibe. For her reception, Danielle slipped into a edgier Sarah Seven number that made dancing and eating much easier! No bridal outfit is complete without a ring however, and did Danielle’s Lugaro rock ever shine!!

Danielle found us while browsing through the hair and makeup section of the popular wedding website – VancityWeddings.com, as well as our Vancouver Yelp page. She also chose one of our favourite Vancouver wedding photographers, Matt Kennedy, to photograph her very special wedding day. You can see by the above preview photos that he did an amazing job with the gorgeous bridal party in the dazzling Vandusen Gardens.

Bridal Spotlight: Vancouver Bride Natalie

By | Makeup, On Location, Photography, Prép Beauty Parlour, Weddings

At Prép Beauty Parlour, we get a lot of brides. Lots of brides equals lots of love stories, and we cant get enough of Natalie and Adams’s! Natalie and Adam met on the online dating site Plenty Of Fish. In today’s society, online dating has become quite common, success stories, however, are not quite as often occurring. Combining Adams love of Batman and Natalie’s Hello Kitty obsession, this online match became a real life romance!

Nat1

Natalie and Adams wedding incorporated fun aspects of the couples personalities and perfectly captured their quirky side. Their subtle colour scheme of navy blue and white pulled together very well and added a classy edge to their Heritage Hall reception. Guests enjoyed authentic glass bottles of Coca Cola as wedding favours, and members of the bridal party got to indulge in some pre-wedding Slurpees with the bride and groom! The homemade photo booth was also a huge hit, and left Natalie and Adam with captured moments they will remember forever! Of course, no wedding is complete without a late night snack, and and the pair won over guests hearts with a Vancouver local favourite, the Tacofino food truck!

Natalie’s tea length traditional white dress had lace details and a fitted empire waist that complimented her curves beautifully. Adams grey suit created a soft contrast beside Natalie, while his blue tie added a pop of fun! Natalie’s bold and springy bridal makeup was done by Prép Beauty Team leader Mika, and her soft 50’s style waves by Faye. Mika did an amazing job of creating a smooth, glowing canvas with bright pink lipstick and a dramatic lash line that had Natalie’s baby blue eyes shining! Fayes pro curls were completed with Natalie’s gorgeous veil pinned on top.
