Caitlin is a Strut bride who won the free boudoir photo shoot in celebration of our one year anniversary. We had the pleasure of having hair and makeup specialist Wade Lee from The House of Wade Lee in our bridal store. He transformed Caitlin, who was already naturally beautiful, from girl next door pretty to va-va-VOOM for her boudoir session.
Here's Caitlin as she normally appears:
Wade, who is one of the few Phoenix-area folks who do both hair AND makeup (often times you have to hire two separate people for your wedding) for special occasions, starts on Caitlin's makeup, below:
Once her makeup was one, Wade started with her hair, giving Caitlin big, sexy curls:
As you can see, false eyelashes are a must for your wedding day (or any special occasion, we think!!). They make such a big difference in helping your eyes stand out.
Wade was so cute–he sequestered himself in one of our wedding dress fitting rooms because he was afraid some of the brides would feel uncomfortable with a man around as they moved about in lingerie. In contrast, he was so easy to be around, and the ladies all loved him. Here are some photos of the final product:
We want to sincerely thank Olivia Womack, our photographer, for her wonderful idea for the group boudoir session. It was so fun!
We also want to thank the fabulous Wade Lee, makeup artist extraordinaire, for being with us that night. Wade charges just $175 for hair and makeup for your wedding day, and that includes a trial!
And, of course, big thanks to Caitlin for letting us share some of her photos. Stay tuned for another post where we'll be sharing more photos of Caitlin from our in-store boudoir photo shoot.
