Team Polished — Thu, 14 Apr 2022 10:30:00 +0000

Time for a Bridal Trial

The earlier you book, the more time you have for a bridal trial.

Bridal hair and makeup trials are a great for:

– Engagement photos

– Bridal showers

– Dress fittings

– Bridal portraits

– Brunch

– Bachelorette Party

– Celebrations

Time to find your dream artist

Let’s face it, not every artist is for every bride. So give yourself extra time. If you aren’t satisfied with your first trial you have more than enough time to do another trial with a different artist.

We’ve had brides tell us they have done 2-3 trials before sitting in our chair!

Do your research, read reviews, ask for recommendations from other brides and look at lots of photos when searching for your dream team.

A good rule to go by is to make sure the artists portfolio matches your preferred style of beauty.

Experienced artists are booked years in advance

We have clients book us a year or more in advance. If you know you love an artist, lock them in while they are available, especially if you are getting married during wedding season.

In Texas this generally falls in late spring, early fall and the holidays.

TIme for skin prep

Along with getting to do your bridal trial early, you’ll also have time for skin care recommendations.

Skin care looks different for every bride, but this could include a special moisturizer, facials or even switching things up in the way you eat.

Wedding Makeup for Brown Eyes

Team Polished — Thu, 18 Mar 2021 10:05:00 +0000

Wedding makeup for brown eyes

Let’s accentuate those beautiful eyes and lips with liner and lipstick!

First, let’s used a dark brown eyeliner instead of black so it looks a bit softer, and it plays nicely with the warm eyeshadow tones.

Then, we added a pop of color to Kendall’s bridal makeup!

We created a gorgeous custom pink lip stain to match the pops of color in her floral bouquet.

Kendall also got a lip touch up kit so she can re-apply later.

lots of curls

Just look at that natural red head bride! Isn’t she lovely. We gave bride, Kendall, small curls to suit her short hair, lots of bounce and shine!

Airbrushed skin

We love freckles here, and if you do too then we are ready to show those beauty’s off!

Our airbrush makeup was perfect for easily covering any acne, redness and blemishes, while still letting the beauty of her skin show through.

the best false lashes for bridal

These fluttery lashes are the best match for Kendall’s perfect bridal look, and best of all, they are COMFORTABLE!

Our favorite style of bridal lashes are fluffy, flared out on the ends a bit, light-weight and comfy.

Check out some of our favorites right here in Houston, TX!

Bridal Portraits at The Creative Chateau

Team Polished — Wed, 17 Feb 2021 00:36:07 +0000

Effortless ponytail

How stunning is our bride Lauren! We did a lovely messy ponytail to show off that gorgeous neckline.

Bridal ponytails are a great way to look classy and leave a little hair down, yet still have it pulled out of your face.

classic bridal makeup

We paired Lauren’s classic hairstyle with a clean, simple makeup look meant to focus on the beauty of her skin.

Just a touch of browns on the eyes, gorgeous full lashes and a soft pink lip color just a shade or 2 darker than Lauren’s natural lip color giving her that perfect bridal makeup look.

This natural makeup look is one of our most requested looks by our brides!

Lovely Skin

Skin care is half the battle when it comes to making your makeup look nice and smooth.

We suggest starting to drink more water and getting on a skin care regimen in the 6 months (or more) leading up to your wedding, your skin will thank you!

bridal trials

It’s a great idea to schedule your bridal hair and makeup trial on the same day you’ll be taking your bridal portraits.

You’ll get a chance to see how your hair and makeup looks on camera and how long it lasts, giving you peace of mind for your wedding day.

Booking a trial also gives you the opportunity to make some changes to your hairstyle or makeup look before your big day, because let’s face it, we change our minds sometimes!

Beautiful Location

One of the secrets to getting lovely bridal portraits is a beautiful location!

The Creative Chateau is luxurious and has amazing natural light, perfect for capturing those stunning shots.

Not to mention, the amazing classic vintage décor just adds to all the beauty in the room!

A few other places you could take your bridal portraits are outdoors or at your wedding venue.

We also love the Houston Botanic Garden and Dukessa!

Amazing photography

Our friends, The Bledsoes, are a fun husband and wife team who capture their brides in the most beautiful way!

When you find a photographer you can connect with and genuinely enjoy being around, you will definitely get amazing photos in return.
