Beauty Secrets

The wedding, beauty, and fashion industries are all interwoven and driven by trends. The trends start on the runways of Los Angeles & New York City and trickle down to the pages of Instyle Weddings or The Knot and then to your wedding day. As such, I truly believe it is important to stay connected with these supporting industries. Having worked in the beauty industry for five years, I am privileged to be a little ahead of the game.
