I was really looking forward to working with Styling Trio because they are the preferred vendor for…read moreour wedding venue. Unfortunately, my experience as a bride was disappointing.
Communication before the wedding was good, but the execution on the wedding day did not meet my expectations.
I provided inspiration photos for a soft, romantic bridal look with glowing, natural-looking skin. Instead, my makeup was much heavier than I requested. My eye makeup appeared uneven, and one eye looked noticeably different from the other in many of my wedding photos. The complexion makeup was also very matte and flat, lacking the luminous finish I had specifically asked for. Looking back at my wedding portraits, I don't feel like I looked like myself, which is incredibly disappointing.
My hair also didn't match the inspiration photos. It lacked the softness and romantic feel I had envisioned, and there wasn't enough time to make meaningful adjustments before the ceremony.
The morning felt rushed, and several members of my bridal party were also unhappy with their hair and/or makeup. Because of the tight timeline, there wasn't enough opportunity to address concerns or refine anyone's look before we had to leave.
I want to be clear that the artists themselves were kind and professional throughout the day. My disappointment is with the final results and the overall experience.
As a bride, you only get one wedding day. Hair and makeup are such an important part of how you feel when you walk down the aisle and how you'll remember yourself in your photographs for years to come. I wish there had been more attention to detail, more time for refinements, and a closer adherence to the inspiration photos I provided.
