Glowy skin-care focused makeup

The bride's makeup was soft, glowy, and skin-focused, with brushed-up brows, warm neutral tones on the eyes, and a barely-there lip to let the bride’s features shine. Her hair was worn in a relaxed, slightly undone style with soft movement - nothing overly structured to enhance the editorial, lived-in feel.

Florals by Les Blooms Tulsa were kept intentionally minimal with a focus on form rather than fullness, allowing the setting and styling to speak for themselves. Dramatic chocolate brown draping created a perfect backdrop for the ceremony space that matched the drama of the architecture surrounding it.
