Beautiful Bride: Kendrick's Wedding

Mrs. Kendrick Allen Slaughter was married June 4 at The Duke Mansion in Charlotte.  I've worked with Kendrick before through her boutique, KK Bloom, and I was honored to be part of her special day.

Kendrick chose the cutest bridesmaids dresses from her boutique, and everything was decorated in her favorite color - pink!  Her extrodinary cake was made by her mother, Kathy Allen, of Kathy Allen Cakes.  It was absolutely stunning and also delicious!

It was a hot 92 degrees on Kendrick's wedding day, but her makeup stayed fresh and beautiful all day.  Kendrick chose a dramatic look for her bridal makeup, including smokey eyes, black liner, and a lovely soft pink lip.  Her bridesmaids complimented her with a soft smokey eye in shades of charcoal and pink champagne, and glossy lips.

Thank you to Kendrick, Kathy, and Chris for having me be part of your incredible wedding!

Beautiful Bride: Kendrick's Bridal Portrait

Boy am I one lucky Makeup Artist...

Ms. Kendrick Allen owns KK Bloom Boutique on Selwyn Avenue in Charlotte - if you haven't been there yet, it's a must see!  I met her when I did a photo shoot for her boutique fashions, and she is so beautiful and SO SO sweet, and we became fast friends.  I was so excited when she got engaged to the man of her dreams, and I got to be her makeup artist.

Kendrick's Bridals were taken at the Duke Mansion by Erin L Hubbs of Greendoor Imaging.  Her hair was styled by the talented Larry Webb of Salon Vivace, and I did her makeup - and I sure had fun with it!  Not only does Kendrick have perfect skin and features, but she really let me have some fun with her makeup - smokey eyes with shades of brown and gold, thick black liner, long long lashes, and soft pink lips.  I love a dramatic bride!
