Bride Yvonne: Modern Downtown Atlanta Wedding

Last year, I had the opportunity to work with an amazing young woman, Yvonne. Not only is she absolutely gorgeous (with stunning red hair), she has a beautiful spirit and is so much fun!

Yvonne and her husband Clifton got married last May, at an amazing location in Atlanta, Georgia. Studio No. 7 is where they chose to hold their celebration; it's a creative space that includes an art gallery.  I was so excited to work with Yvonne after speaking with her about her bridal style. She knew she wanted Hollywood waves for her hair and she would be changing into a jumpsuit during the reception! I'm all for a bride who decides to switch it up a bit during her wedding day.

I was honored to work with both Yvonne and her mother, providing hair styling and makeup for the wedding. We began our bridal glam session at Twelve Centennial Park Hotel, an upscale hotel in downtown Atlanta. It has an modern feel and gorgeous views of the city.

The amazing Janel Elise Events was there to ensure everything ran smoothly. Colleen of 2nd Truth Photography photographed Yvonne and Cliff's engagement photos, and was there to document their wedding day as well.

There are so many things to love about this wedding! I always enjoy seeing first looks, if the bride and groom choose to have one.

Cute Last Minute Halloween Makeup

Hey guys! First just wanted to say, I'm so glad everyone enjoyed the post about the Anastasia Beverly Hills lip glosses. Trust me when I say, you will love them!

Second, just in case any of you are in need of a super cute Halloween costume/makeup idea, check out my recent YouTube video on this look!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjPsMZ8FhAY

I think it's super cute, not hard, and doesn't take a ton of product. Just use whatever foundation and base you have, and a black liner (pencil, gel, or liquid will do). If you recreate the look, be sure to hashtag #corianneelizabethhalloween on Instagram so I can see it! You can rock it with big hair, add a headband with cat ears, or just rock the makeup alone!

My weekend will consist of a bridal party, a few gorgeous young ladies for homecoming and helping my little man look like a werewolf :-) Be safe this weekend and have fun!

Stay Beautiful! . . . Inside and out.
