Naturally Beautiful Hair and Makeup Tutorial

About a month ago, I was asking some of our wedding professionals to give their advice on how to be a good wedding guest. I got an overwhelming response and added all the the advice sent. I also started looking at each person who replied and checked out their websites and email signatures. I was making sure intersted brides and or grooms would be able to contact them easily from either source and sometimes it was almost impossible. However,  Yessie Makeup & Styling had an excellent email signature and a very well done website. I was so into these Seattle wedding pros,  Yessie and Blue Rose Photography (who was featured on her website) that I felt compelled to reach out to ask them to create something beautiful for us. 

So, they gathered an amazing team and knocked this beauty tutorial so far out of the park that I'm still looking for the ball. It's SO good.  Yessie and Blue Rose Photography  have created and photographed, respectively, two stunning bridal looks that could easily transition into an everyday look because it's just so natural. There's also a very special treat at the end so keep scrolling!
