Emily Got Married!

Emily got married last spring in Cincinnati. She gave us a call after an unsuccessful trial with another beauty vendor and was very stressed (obviously) because her wedding was less than 2 months away! Fortunately, we were able to get her a new trial scheduled immediately and she decided to move forward with R & R as her hair and makeup team!

Emily wanted to keep her look simple and classic. This teacher wanted to feel and look like herself on her wedding day, just more elegant and enhanced. Keeping her hair down and with soft waves worked for her and her bridal party followed suit with soft, elegant hair and makeup.

Trials can be pretty stressful. There’s a lot of pressure on finding the perfect hair and makeup for your wedding day and also an artist that can get your vision and execute it perfectly. Hairstylists and makeup artists vary, as do their talents and what they excel in. If you’re looking for a natural look, seeking out the beauty team that specializes in high glam may not be the best fit for you and vice versa. Make sure you look through portfolios and notice that the style you are looking at matches yours before moving forward. Asking lots of questions during the trial is great, as well as giving lots of feedback. We want you to love your look! If we need to make adjustments and try a different lip color or your hair looser, that is FINE! Our goal during a trial is our bride walking out feeling beautiful and confident, just like she should on her wedding day.

Make sure you do your research and show up to your trial prepared with photos and plenty of questions! It’s (usually) the first meeting with your artist and it will set the tone of your wedding day! And if you need a 2nd trial or realize maybe you need to find a new artist, that’s fine, too! Hair and makeup should be the most fun and least stressful part of the planning process!

Claire Got Married!

Posted by rollersandrouge

It’s been just a little over a year since Clair and Kyle got married at The Monastery Event Center in Cincinnati! Claire, with the help of good friend and bridesmaid, Elissa, planned her destination wedding from afar! Her bridal party was small, which made planning hair and makeup a cinch!

Claire kept things classic, complementing The Monastery’s grand decor and architecture.

And the amazingly talented Susan, of Love Hunters Photography did a beautiful job capturing the love between Claire and Kyle on their wedding day!

Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your special day!

Katie Got Married!

Posted by rollersandrouge

Katie had the most beautiful fall wedding, with beautiful clear blue skies that matched her bridesmaid’s dresses! Her beauty needs were simple, as she only needed hair and makeup for herself, a bridesmaid and her flower girl. We love big weddings, but smaller bridal parties are equally lovely! R & R is fortunate enough to have several talented artists that are equally talented at makeup as they are with hair. When bridal parties are this small, we are able to have one stylist come out and take care of everyone!

Melinda worked her magic with hair and makeup! Creating soft curls and braids, these beauties were wedding ready and picture perfect!

The couple took full advantage of downtown Cincinnati for their first look. Thank you to the team from Images by Daniel Michael for sharing these beautiful photos!

Jenna Got Married!

Posted by rollersandrouge

Often times, working in this industry, our paths cross with photographer and other vendors multiple times. Let’s be real, it’s a pretty small world. It’s not so often though, that we have brides that have SO many similarities to their weddings. Last week’s post featured Allison’s wedding in Covington, Kentucky, which just happened to be a few weeks after Jenna’s. Obviously, Rollers & Rouge was lucky enough to be a part of both of these bride’s wedding days! Jenna chose to use a hairstylist not affiliated with R & R, but we were happy to be able to provide makeup for he and her (massive) bridal party!

What other similarities did these two weddings share, you ask? Both brides chose to get ready at The Hotel Covington. With the spacious rooms and large windows allowing tons of natural light to flood in, this is a fantastic spot for bridal parties to get ready!

And the talented Annie from Annie Ryan Photography was the choice photographer for both brides. Her unique style speaks for itself!

And then, of course….The Madison Event Center was the location for Jenna’s and Allison’s ceremony and reception, too! It’s really cool to see 2 weddings with so many similarities, but each unique, personalized and individual in their own way!

Molly Got Married!

Posted by rollersandrouge

Molly couldn’t have been an easier bride to plan and coordinate with. One would have never guessed that she had 13 people booked for makeup and 12 scheduled for hair the morning of her wedding. Numbers like these tend to cause some chaos, but not for Molly! She knew exactly what she wanted and we were able to meet her needs! We were able to have 3 stylists work with Molly and her party, cutting the getting ready timeline down to a reasonable frame. Angie, Whitley and Melinda were the “dream team” behind hair and makeup and basically killed it!

Getting married in Kentucky in the late summer can be hot and humid, leaving opportunities hair and makeup to fall or melt. Opting for up-do’s and airbrush makeup, will guarantee your hair and makeup look fresh and amazing for the long day ahead!

The Josephina Event Venue in Dry Ridge Kentucky was the perfect location for this couple’s wedding day! With lots of green, lush trees and beautiful spots for photos, Fyrefly Photography was able to capture this fun loving couple and their equally silly bridal party!

Surrounded by their family and friends, on a beautiful day in September, this adorable couple said their vows underneath an arbor covered in flowers and we can’t thank them enough for letting us be a part of their special day!

Alicia Got Married!

Posted by rollersandrouge

Alicia couldn’t have been a sweeter or easier bride to work with! She emailed us after several referrals from friends that had used R & R for their own weddings. Having friends or family refer you vendors is such a great way to find a team that you can trust and be assured you’re in good hands.

Often times, using an event professional that a friend or family member has used isn’t an option. This is why reviews are SO important for vendors and brides. We love hearing feedback from our brides or bridal party members, whether it’s positive (which hopefully is always the case) or negative. It gives us an opportunity to grow and learn and improve our craft and services. But, more importantly, reviews help other brides make the decision on who will be best for their wedding day.

We suggest using Google, The Knot and Wedding Wire as your main platforms for reviews. These are most vendors main outlets for gaining business and trust in the industry.

When you have made the decision on who will be providing services for your wedding day, don’t hesitate to ever reach out with questions or concerns. Whomever you decide to work with should always be responsive and eager to help you feel at ease. Just because a contract has been signed doesn’t mean the provider can slack at answering your questions. If at any point you have doubts or hesitations, make sure that you communicate that to whomever you are working with.

Let’s face it, this is basically the biggest day of your life…up to this moment. When have you ever planned a party for 150 of your closest friends or family; or worn a gown that cost probably an arm and a leg? And when have you ever had a camera follow you around for 8 hours capturing every detail that you’ve worked so hard on? Probably never, so you want to make sure that you can trust the people you are paying to pull this off…actually can!

Thank you so much to the extremely talented Jillian Francois for sharing these beautiful images of Alicia and Evan’s Cincinnati Summer Wedding! She truly did a wonderful job capturing love and connection that this couple have for one another!

Sarah Got Married!

Posted by rollersandrouge

We heard from Sarah last October, about 2 weeks before her November wedding! A family friend had offered to do her hair as a wedding gift, but when plans fell through last minute, she contacted R & R to see if we could help out last minute! Fortunately, we were able to throw together a team for her and pull it off flawlessly!

Sarah and her bridal party got ready at the Carnegie Center in Columbia-Tusculum. When looking at a getting ready location, you want to keep in mind what a venue’s bridal suite set up is. Taking into consideration space for your bridal party to be able to relax, plenty of counter space for makeup and hair tools along with mirrors and electrical outlets is extremely important. Sarah and her maids got dressed in what would later be the reception spot. Ample space and big windows provided great lighting for getting ready photos.

When choosing your getting ready location (if it’s different from your ceremony venue) it can be extremely important to factor in travel time, as that directly effects how much time you have to get ready. After the girl’s had finished dressing, they headed to Sarah’s ceremony venue to for first look and group photos. The Old Chapel in Mariemont provided a timeless backdrop to set the tone for this classic and elegant wedding.

The inside of the chapel is just as beautiful as the outside and Bird and Rose Photography did a phenomenal job capturing it all.

Sometimes when planning a wedding or event, things don’t go perfectly. Glitches happen and you have to adapt and come up with a new plan. Handling it with grace and being flexible can really save a lot of stress. Who knows…it may even work out better than your original plan.
