destination wddingMy brides from all over the world choose Oahu as their wedding destination for good reason.

For over 15 years, I’ve met brides from Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia and even Russia.  On an average, I will have styled at least 3 brides a week from another country and they all have one thing is common.

They’ve chosen Oahu as their destination wedding for the convenience and beauty that the Hawaiian islands has to offer.  It’s a service-oriented island which most people find out that they can book anything and everything their heart desires, yes, even a small or large wedding.   The  island’s magic are constantly being captured  in the hearts and the photos of the bridal party.  Plus,  everyone wants a beautiful backdrop of a perfect wave, waterfall or beaches of the islands.

That’s were I come in, I know most destination wedding spots and offer suggestions on bridal makeup and hairstyles conducive to  time of day, lighting, location and weather conditions.  All the while, keeping in mind the bride’s comfort level; in order to  meet her goals.  My destination brides are always relaxed and come armed with lots of sunscreen to avoid any skin problems.  So if being ” in the moment” and enjoying your wedding with spectacular photos is something you long for check out Hawaii as your destination to say “I do”.

Are You Protected?

Rabbit Island off Makapu'u Near Waimanalo, HawaiiSunscreen…it’s the catchword that too many of us put very little importance on. However, it is an essential item in your make-up arsenal – every season of the year. If you don’t protect your skin, you will eventually need to seek correction or trowel on the make-up to cover up the damage.

If you are approaching your special day, particularly if your wedding is here in Hawaii, sunscreen is an absolute must! No one wants to have sunburned photos to show their grandchildren. Make-up alone, even if it claims to have SPF protection, is just not enough. We recommend you use a sunscreen of at least 30 SPF under your make-up on special occasions. If you are here on your honeymoon, keep the reapplication going throughout the day if you are sunbathing, sailing, sightseeing – even if it is cloudy outside. Overcast days are one of the most dangerous because we are complacent and so certain that nothing will happen.

Note for those of you who are wondering: The photo above is of Rabbit Island, a popular photo shoot location for brides and other special events. It’s on the east side of Oahu, off Kalanianaole Highway, on the way to Waimanalo. There is a beautiful view of this location from the hike at Makapu’u lighthouse.
