We took our bride’s hair and makeup from fresh to fabulous for this day-to-night styled shoot.
This shoot is perfect inspiration for brides that want to do 2 different hair and makeup looks on her wedding day.
Hotel Granduca was the perfect choice for an intimate moody wedding. The natural light and character of the building really added to the entire wedding aesthetic.

Day Time Bridal Hair and makeup
For the day time wedding events, we decided to do a soft, blushing, fresh makeup look with effortless big waves.
The soft pinky-nude lip color ties in perfectly with our bride’s gorgeous earrings.
Adding nude eyeliner in the waterline was a great way to make her eyes look brighter and bigger.
Day Time Gathering
There is tons of natural light in the Granduca lunch room, great for picture taking and feeling the freshness of the daylight.
The lunch time set up was doused with blushes, pinks and rose gold table accents and florals.
Night Time
The sun is starting to go down, which means it’s time to take this bride’s hair and makeup up a notch.
We pulled her hair up into a classy pony, utilizing the curls we added for the events earlier in the day.
Ponytails are a great option if you don’t want your hair sticking to your neck, or if you just get annoyed having your hair down all day and night, it’s like that sometimes!
For makeup we added slightly bolder lashes, added a smokey liner and a bit of black & dark brown eyeshadow to make the eyes give off a more sultry and sexy vibe.
Our bride’s jewelry and flowers for the night were red so we had to go with a bold red lip!
Did I mention her 2nd dress for her wedding is a black dress? Ugh it’s to die for if you’re on the hunt for a non-traditional wedding dress.
This hair and makeup adjustment took about 30 minutes, then she got into her black dress and headed downstairs for the reception.
A Romantic Reception
Nothing says romantic like being surrounded by red roses, candles and your loved ones.
To end the night, the reception was set up into a more cozy room where there is more privacy and you have access to a lounging area, perfect for an intimate reception!
