During the time that my computer and Internet were both busted (sinusuwerte naman oo...), I received a text from a girl named Aimee Borsoto inquiring about my wedding rates. Apparently, she got my contact information from Louise, my first-ever "real bride" who's booked with me already, I replied also and we exchanged texts. Then I also found out guess what... her sister, Cheryl, was my teacher in Comm 1 way back in my UP Manila days. Heeheehee... o diba? Super small world. That was 8 years ago! (Teka teka... nahahalata ang age)
So I talked to her on the phone afterwards and I asked her what look she and her fiancee wants, the time of her wedding, the motif, etc. Since it would be a morning wedding, the look is supposed to be fresh and pretty. I also asked if she would be comfortable wearing false eyelashes (the natural ones naman) and she said na she would rather not. So, we scheduled a trial makeup in one (kikay) Saturday afternoon.
So that Saturday, they went to my house - Aimee, Archie, and guess what? Aimee's Ate Cheryl, who was there to take pictures. Cheryl is also a photographer and these pictures here are courtesy of her (No grabbing for any purpose whatsoever without her permission okay?). Archie was also super funny and making us kulit all the time. He even posed for a few pictures na look good as prenup pictures.
O 'diba?
I gave Aimee what I call my rendition of one of my favorite bridal looks, inspired by MAC Cosmetics brides, sticking to classic, muted colors that make her look fresh. For her hair, Cheryl wanted her hair up and I could not agree more since when I saw her dress sketch, there was intricate detail at the back and I wouldn't want it covered nor would the designer. Classic bun is always the key (and a lot of hairspray, pins, and hair wax).
And the finished product:

Doesn't she look pretty? I think so too!
