A Gracious Bride

  Saturday I did makeup for a bride in this beautiful hotel room downtown Atlanta. Truly this room was impressive (to me). It was at the Loews Hotel and the suite on the 21st floor had a full wall and corner of floor to ceiling windows. All the natural light I could ask for, an artist's dream! What was even more impressive than the room, however, was the bride herself.
  She went for the old glamour of Hollywood look and was gorgeous! I hear so many brides say, (some in jest and others in all seriousness) 'Don't make anyone prettier than me..' This girl kept telling her bridal party how beautiful they all looked and how happy she was that they were there to share in her joy, and it wasn't alcohol induced!:) It came across truly heartfelt. She was organized down to a 't'. She had a binder with iteneraries for everyone down to leaving times per group!! And of course, everything didn't go according to plan but as a testament to her character, her bridal party and stepmother (who I would want on my side any day!) rallied around her to make sure things went as smoothly as possible. Which was truly a joy to see. So many bridal parties are self consumed with how they will look that the bride is an after thought. Not these girls! Yet another testimony to her personality.
  She seemed ecstatic to be marrying the man of her heart! It was all of these components that really gave her that bridal glow and made her the prettiest girl in the room! It truly is, 'Fun being a Girl... Great being a Woman!' If you happen to read this Amber, Congratulations and thank you for letting me share such a momentous occasion with you!
