Getting married and not enough time for ...

“Caelie did a fantastic job with the makeup for my wedding.  I am not local so I did not have a chance to do a preview before the wedding day which made me a little nervous, but Caelie did a great job.  She listened to what I wanted and checked in with me while she was doing the makeup.  I was nervous that through all the tears and July heat that my makeup wouldn’t last and would be running down my face, but she assured me it would last 10-12 hours through all that.  She was right!  I am a huge crier and my makeup stayed put throughout the night, even...

Elissa wants a natural makeup look...

Caelie was fantastic. She helped me feel at ease and was very professional and, most importantly, I felt beautiful on my wedding day! I rarely wear much makeup at all and had no idea what to do but Caelie worked with me to come up with a perfect look. Though I was wearing more makeup than I had ever worn in my life previously, I looked and felt like myself – something that was very important to me. I highly recommend Caelie. She was fun, super friendly and a true artist. I couldn’t have been happier! — Elissa Z. Oregon, 2011

The perfect look for your special day should complement your venue/location, wedding theme, colors, flowers, season and time of day. The first step? Find the gown.

Sarah Edwards 9/10/10 BR Cohn...

The Belle of the Ball ladies did a fantastic job for the beautiful vineyard wedding in Sept. 2010 at BR Cohn in Kenwood, CA. They were incredibly helpful during the trial/practice appointment before the wedding day. Both ladies arrived to our site on-time (and it was very early on a Saturday morning!) and stayed on-time. Not only did they make the experience fun, but they made each of us feel pretty and special, and made the bride look her MOST BEAUTIFUL self. Natural, but absolutely stunning. Caelie Steele and Briana Fernandez also managed to create a sense of calm in...
