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!

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.

Bridal Spotlight: Ashton McQueen

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

On Saturday, August 8th 2015, Ashton McQueen gathered with her friends and family at the Burnaby Mountain Rose Garden View More: http://ashley-durance-photo.pass.us/ashton-and-zachto celebrate the joining of 2 beautiful souls and the beginning of a blissful and exciting marriage. Ashton wed long time boyfriend, Port Coquitlam realtor Zach Pugh.

The pair are madly in love. Ashton has always had a fancy for Zach, and thought he was extremely attractive long before they started dating. When they met, their connection was instant and the two have been inseparable ever since. For the past 7 years, they’ve travelled the world together, while keeping their Port Coquitlam condo a home with their 2 cats.

Ashton chose some of Préps best artists to pamper her on her special day, and even had one of our master eyelash technicians, Alisha, as one of her bridesmaids! Ashton and Alisha have been besties for ever. The bridesmaids wore one shoulder soft pink tea length dresses with a flirty twist in the front. The light colour contrasted nicely with their off-white bouquets.
View More: http://ashley-durance-photo.pass.us/ashton-and-zachAshtons sophisticated and intricate bridal updo was carefully crafted by beauty team member Jenn. Her dramatic and bronzed bridal makeup was done by Mika, who created amazing depth for her chocolate brown eyes while softening Ashtons features and finished with strip lashes for an extra pop! The look was tied together beautifully with Ashtons lace veil.

Ashton chose a gorgeous classic white form fitting off-the-shoulder gown from La Sposa Bridal in New Westminister. The all over lace added a touch of vintage, and harmonized perfectly with the sweeping train that lightly trailed from behind her. She truly was a vision in white!

The rose garden was the perfect backdrop for Ashton and Zachs ceremony. Their wedding photos, shot by Vancouver Photographer Ashley Durance, were brought to life with the vibrant colours of the garden and the pairs obvious chemistry. Their reception was held the the SFU Diamond Alumni Center, where guests enjoyed good food and music while celebrating the couple.
