Amisha and Ajay's wedding at the Hyatt Hotel O'Hare culminated in three days of festivities with the Sangeet ceremony at 10am and a huge reception at 5pm that night.

The morning began at 5am, hair and makeup which included many special effects for the 10 ladies so they could all be ready for the 8:30am photos. The henna on Amisha's hands and feet were done the day before but extra care was taken to apply the jeweled "Bindi" across the eyebrow line and around each eye one at at time with a tweezer and glue. While this was a meticulous process, it was part of this bride's special request and my goal is to make sure every bride has her needs met. Amisha positively GLOWED especially during the ornate ceremony-- it was important to have her stand out amongst the decor and extra jewelry!

After a lunch reception and photos at the fountains my hair team and I returned at 3:30pm to completely redo the hair and makeup in a less formal "colorful party version " to blend with the fuschia sari. In Hindu custom, red is the ceremony color and other jewel tones are reserved for the after party. Again, soft glowing color was the theme for Amisha and the wedding party attendants. The more mature family members were done in soft neutrals with punches of color. The end result was a beautiful wedding party with defintion and color to balance the ornate costumes. An exciting long day and worth it to see such a happy bride!

This wedding party was fun and creative. Hair and makeup
were done with everyone's personality in mind and finished by 11:30 am. We boarded a trolly to hit many city spots to take photos in very humid, partly rainy weather (it ended). The bride was smoky/sexy and a few girls were colorful/funky and a few natural. It was truly a joy to be involved, on a trolly all afternoon
at Wrigley Field, the el stops and Michigan Avenue. We touched up with powder and gloss, but everyone's makeup stayed put throughout the day. The black a white smiling bride was taken
at 6 pm - don't worry, your makeup can stay all day and look great, too! Photography by Jai Girard

The structure of this wedding day required full day service from the bridal party. I was requested to be available from 8 am - 5:30 pm. Standard service is usually 3-5 hours, with a touch up before the wedding march begins.

What an amazing family! The bride was Serbian, the groom Greek. We started hair and makeup at 6:30 am (the shot of
the bride in the mirror) ready for the parade of groom and groomsmen coming to the house at 11 am. The brides family had a fabulous buffet and celebration at the house (check out
the dancing picture from early in the day). We proceeded to
the Greek cathedral at 2 pm. Everyone looked natural, yet glamourous. Following the ceremony we were on to the Rosemont fountain for 5:30 photos. I touched everyone up
after the church, but only lips, powder and bronzing. No one's eye needed redoing, but look how fabulous she still looked at midnight (last photo). Love and happiness exhuded from everyone all day long. Photos: Furla Photography

A lovely day in the country with a family of wonderful, very down to earth low key 'never wear makeup types' teachers. Everyone here was done in the most natural yet defined way - lots of bronzer (even tan lines!) and a touch of navy eyeliner. Natural gloss peach peachy tones completes the look. We started hair and makeup at a nearby hotel and I traveled to the wedding site for an hour of pictures prior to the ceremony. The wedding party appreciated my ability to give them each a more dressed up look without being overdone. Everyone enjoyed feeling and looking like a more beautiful version of themselves.

This wedding day was a standard service, lasting approximately 3-5 hours, including pre-bridal photo time.
