A Luxury Bridal Beauty Experience by FINESSE by Ashlyn
EVENT: Wedding
TIME OF YEAR: September
DESTINATION: Niagara-on-the-Lake
SERVICES PROVIDED: Bridal hair & makeup | Airbrush application | Wedding party hair & makeup | Bridal preview appointment with airbrush application
THE BRIEF
This bride wanted to explore different levels of glam before settling on her final wedding day look. During her trial, she opted for full-intensity glam with airbrush makeup and a half-updo. While she loved the artistry, she realized that a softer, more natural glam would make her feel more like herself on her wedding day.
Additionally, on the wedding day, one of her bridesmaids wasn’t initially satisfied with her look, requiring quick adjustments to ensure everyone felt confident and beautiful.
OUR APPROACH & THE TRANSFORMATION
Personalized Consultation: During the trial, we experimented with a bold, dramatic look. Based on the bride’s feedback, we refined her wedding-day style to feature my signature soft glam—enhancing her natural beauty while ensuring she felt like the best version of herself.
Luxury Beauty Experience: We used premium, long-lasting products and customized application techniques to achieve a timeless, flawless finish that lasted all day and night.
Bridal Party Perfection: My team artist, Olesia, and I worked closely with the bridal party, ensuring that each person’s look complemented their features and personal style. When one bridesmaid needed adjustments, we quickly made touch-ups—resulting in a glowing review from her as well!
THE RESULT
The bride and her bridal party raved about their hair and makeup. She felt effortlessly beautiful in her final look, perfectly aligning with her vision. Her bridesmaids were equally thrilled, with one even continuing to talk about how amazing her brows looked long after the wedding!
WHY IT MATTERS
This case study highlights the importance of customization, communication, and flexibility in luxury bridal beauty. Every bride deserves to feel like the best version of herself, and at FINESSE by Ashlyn, we ensure each client’s vision is brought to life with a tailored, high-end experience.
“I have only wonderful things to say about Ashlyn.
She is extremely easy to communicate with and so fun to gab with when she is getting you ready!
I booked Ashlyn for my wedding hair and make-up. We started with a hair and make-up trial. I was curious so did full intense glam including airbrush and a half up-do (first two photos). I loved it but after a few hours I didn't feel like myself!
For my actual wedding I asked Ashlyn to scale back and do her signature soft glam. She was so great about taking my feedback and applying it to my final wedding look, I couldn’t have been happier.
My wedding party RAVED about their hair and make-up. Both Ashlyn and Olesia were also extremely kind when one of my bridesmaids didn’t love her final look (it happens! Sometimes you’re not sure what you like until you see it in person) and after a few touch-ups my bridesmaid felt beautiful (and still raves about how great her brows looked that day)!
Thank you so much Ashlyn for making us all feel so beautiful! Ashlyn gets booked-up quickly and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
