    My advice...get your hair and makeup done by a professional. Be vocal and tell them exactly what you want. Wedding days are so incredibly stressful and being able to just sit and enjoy a drink while someone else does it for you is heaven.

    Hei Mia! A tip from me. I thrifted around 80 gold candle stick holders for my wedding. It was expensive, so I had to sell them afterwards. But I kept like 10. I also keep a table cloth and other decor pieces from the table in a box. Every anniversary I decorate our dining table just like our wedding day, even though it is a regular Tuesday and we are just eating spaghetti with the kids 🥰

    I'm def voting to let the professionals do the hair. They did an amazing job. And don't worry. The "smoother" look will happen when your curls fall.
    I could vote either way for the make up. If you decide to go with a professional- just be upfront about exactly what you want and have photo references of the look you did to compare to. Give them a chance to get it right! :) I think it comes down to, do you really wanna be messing with all that on the day you're going to be over thinking 1000 other things? Happy wedding!

      My 1st wedding was stressful (yes I had 2 for my only marriage xD).
      My family is Japanese and French while my husband in from Mexico. Our fist wedding was only ceremonial in Tokyo for my family. I had everything done professionally cause there's just 0 time in a big wedding you're literally running around since 5am and you have your bridesmaids, the groom, groomsmen your parents and grandparents plus that 1 great grandma who never knows what's going on. Even getting to the ceremonial breakfast while making sure you're not missing anyone is stressful.
      Doing your make up for professional photography and videography is actually much harder to do than you would think.
      In most of Asia typically the bride and groom sit in a fancy room and take pictures w all guest which is sometimes when they bring in their gifts (you dont open gifts in front of people in Japan so its for later) and than the bride and groom seperate and take pictures w close friends, the bridemaids, the groomesmen and than family. Because we send the pics to the guest after the wedding as thanks for gifts and coming. Than the couple takes a lot of indivual pictures.
      After that you CHANGE dresses and have the wedding followed by the ceremony party which is different than USAs. If my grandparents hadn't paid for I would have just bought a house xD but they really wanted the wedding cause the next 2 older grandkids are gay so this was the only wedding they'd get to see.
      We had our second wedding in Mexico. I just wanted a typical Mexican backyard party. My sister-in-laws did my nails, make-up and hair. We had it at my husbands parents house, we put out a dance floor, great food, a band and karaoke and a piñata for the lil ones. That was such much more fun and way less stressful.
      Never underestimate how intense wedding are.

    That's just one tiny detail I thought I'd share from the other end of wedding planning.
    Also,it costs soooooo much to have it cut by the pros (because they'll have to stay/come back after the meal to do it), so have someone designated to cut it later. Preferably someone sober lol.

    My sister-in-law will 100% say that having hair and makeup done professionally for your wedding is one less stressor for a busy day. Not to mention, professional wedding makeup artists and hairstylists know how to make sure the makeup lasts and looks good for photos for these kinds of events and also done in a timely manner because a wedding day is schedule intense. She went back a second time to her makeup artist/stylist to tweak the makeup look with critiques on what she wanted. The first one was slightly too glam and the colors were not exactly she wanted. But she had a great relationship with her stylist and so communication was very transparent (this stylist has been doing her hair hair for a couple of years before her wedding). The wedding was a two day affair so the stylist knew the tips and tricks for two days of hair and was able to repeat the makeup look twice consistently under observation (since a photographer was around for both days). I'm not sure why I always hear people doing the makeup trial complain about the initial look and didn't communicate to get it right so the second run would be more to their taste? That's literally what the trials are for.

      I agree with this except for the lash extensions. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE lash extensions and used to do them consistently. Then one random week, I developed an allergy to the glue out of nowhere - within hours, my eyes swelled shut and my face looked like I'd gone five rounds with Muhammad Ali!
      It took three days for the swelling to go down (even though I raced back to the salon and had the lashes removed right away).
      Just not a risk worth taking, in my opinion. But YMMV. :)

    Another tip is - hire someone to be your helper on the day, sit with them and communicate absolutely everything you want done at your wedding and share your creative ideas with. Because you are styling the wedding and spend so much time on the prep, you have to share your vision with someone who can make all the little (important) things happen for you. Then on the day you will have someone you can rely on who isn’t part of the wedding party. I wish I had done this for my wedding!!

    As a wedding photographer myself I hope you booked a really fun photographer. I would suggest having a second or third shooter as well that way you get every little detail. Especially seeing how much time and effort went into every single detail!💛 So so happy for you! Way to go doing your wedding YOUR WAY! That is the only thing that matters is doing what you and Stuart want to do💗

    I definitely think that going with the professional for hair and makeup would be less stressful (Plus you could talk with them about going simpler in the back)
    but if you want more control over your look on your wedding day by doing your hair and makeup yourself, it would still look amazing!

    The hair look done by professionals is much nicer 😅

  • @fabioladiazmier8289
    @fabioladiazmier8289 Рік тому

    As someone who got married 7 months ago, my advice would be. Get your makeup and hair done professionally. You dod an INCREDIBLE work on yourself, but getting it done comes down to one less things you have to worry about the day off. Plus it cuts down getting ready time (I was getting my hair and makeup done at the same time by two different people - much faster than doing it myself). Plus the prepping of the skin that an MUA does feels like pampering and helps last a lot longer. My makeup was intact on hour 12 (except lipstick which I had to reapply). It helps you feel calmed and pampered, it's just ONE special day you get to do this, go for it!

    Re. the makeup, the best thing to do if you’ve got a specific look you want is to take a photo of how you’ve done it on yourself and ask them do duplicate it “but better”. They’ll know the best techniques for keeping it fresh on the day and working with wedding photographers.
    They should be able to replicate the look you have created but slightly better and take the stress off of you on the day x

    ✨💖✨Can’t wait to see Mia’s wedding photos. I feel so invested. It’s like Mia is a distant grand-niece or other sweet relative. I remember coming across her videos years ago when she was a teen, when she had long, manicured nails and lash extensions (?). Mia has grown into such a lovely young lady, so down to earth.
    When my hubs and I had our wedding-almost 40 years ago-I made my own wedding veil. Could not find tulle in the off white tone I wanted. I was growing desperate. Being a tea drinker, I got the idea to just brew up enough tea to fit in my large cook pot, and I dyed the tulle in the tea. It was perfect. Honestly, I can’t even remember doing my makeup or hair, but I think there might have been a curling iron mishap. Every worry has since faded, and my husband and I laugh about everything else. Mostly we just have happy memories (I do remember our cake! It was delicious-champagne cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream between the layers, whipped cream frosting, garnished with fresh strawberries and flowers. Otherwise, I couldn’t tell what else we ate.

    I think if you're as good at make up as you are - definitely do it yourself - I also believe if you use less you can reapply and reappling makeup is best.

  • @100xNiki

    If you choose to do your own makeup, I suggest really good skin prep (hydrating serums and moisturizers), skip out on a primer when you have a good moisturizer (or use a gripping primer). I recommend the glow recipe glow drops and the embryolisse moisturizer. Apply with a brush and the moisturizer sit on your skin a bit before rubbing it into your skin. Let it really absorb before starting your makeup so you have a glow from within! My biggest tip is to Set your makeup in layers (with setting spray). I did my own makeup for my engagement ceremony and I set in between layers like foundation, then concealer/cream contour/blush before moving onto powders and my makeup did NOT move! Don't do glitter for the ceremony, add the glitter for the reception, glitter doesn't photograph well from what I've heard!

    MAKEUP/HAIR SUGGESTION:
    MAKEUP: I suggest doing the makeup yourself with a little help from the professionals.
    Keep the eyes light and bright with a little bit of that highlighter glitter/sparkle on the lid (to make it more whimsical).
    HAIR: Keep the front curls that you did yourself and get the back of your hair done by the professionals with the flowers.

    I loved table setting #1’ also can we just appreciate the fact that she up’cycled most of her wedding. I wish I had the talent so I could have done that with my wedding. I did do you like a lot of natural wood, and wild flowers, made all my candles which was fun and a lot of work, I did thrift the candle jars 🫙 none of them were the same. Also I just want to take a moment to say Mia your kitchen in The studio is absolutely gorgeous.
    I let my guest’s take home a lot of like the centerpieces and candles and things like that along with like the little gifts I got them for attending the wedding but a lot of my guest did take like the flowers and a candle and things like that which really helped because then I didn’t have to store it until I sold it and then what was left we ended up donating to brides to be. Brides to be is a place for women who are getting married but don’t have the funds to do a lot of the set ups which was really cool in my opinion.

    Thanks for sharing all of your journey with us, Mia! I was married last year, and here are a couple of "beauty tips" that were shared with me before our day that helped! 1. I loved having my makeup done because it felt like I was being pampered (although the makeup you did for yourself was stunning!) 2. I was advised to choose a lip color that was one shade darker than I would normally go for because it would show up better in photos. 3. Get the lashes! I never ever wear them, but I was glad I wore them on our wedding day because, again, they photograph so well. 4. Ask your mom or someone else in your wedding party to carry a small pressed-powder compact and brush for you to help de-shine your makeup during the reception! Dancing = Sweat = Shine. Have the best time!!!!

Don't let people scare you away from doing your hair and makeup, for me it was the best decision and I was super relaxed before the ceremony. In fact the hotel director found me chilling with some guests an hour before the ceremony with just my hair curled and she nervously told me to go get ready hahaha (I was on time).

    Hey Mia! I’m a bridal hair stylist. If you do end up doing your own hair for your wedding, I would recommend washing your hair the day before, and not putting it up (even in a claw clip) after you wash it. While you are doing your makeup just clip back your hair so it stays out of your face. This way you won’t have any creases or bumps in your hair so it is a lot easier to get your curls to lay the way you want them to! Also, definitely wear fake lashes, they look great in pictures!
