The day began with the beautiful bride Marissa and her bridal party getting ready at Union Trust. Union Trust is truly historic, built in 1888. The venue features soaring sixty-five-foot illuminated engraved ceilings, architecturally accented walls, and multiple private rooms. There is a breathtaking balcony that overlooks the whole space. It’s the perfect space to get ready.

Our gorgeous bride was glowing with anticipation. The glam team Bella Angel provided hair and makeup for Marissa. An intricate yet effortless half up style, perfect for the classic and elegant vibe. Soft tendrils framed her face, adding a delicate touch to her overall look. Her hairstylist used soft curls to give a romantic, timeless feel, and of course her hair stayed in place for hours of dancing and celebration.

For her makeup, Marissa opted for a natural yet polished look. The makeup artist enhanced her glowing skin with a dewy foundation, a hint of blush to add warmth, and soft champagne eyeshadow for a subtle sparkle. The bride’s eyes were the focal point, with a hint of liner and fluttery lashes to bring attention to her beautiful gaze. Nude pink lips finished the look, giving her a soft, bridal glow that perfectly complemented her classic white gown.

Finally, Marissa’s bridal party dressed in elegant jewel tones. They also had coordinated hair and makeup that echoed the bride’s timeless style, featuring soft waves and natural, luminous makeup.
