Brainerd On Site Bridal Airbrush Makeup & Wedding Hair
Beautiful bridal makeup and hair from our makeup & hair artists in Duluth MN. Duluth is one of our favorite wedding locations. You can’t go wrong getting married on the North Shore of our beautiful state. Actually anywhere in the Land of 10,000 lakes is beautiful
Most of our brides desire a romantic natural makeup look…..and a sweet romantic updo.
Janie was such a beautiful bride that we were honored to work with in May at Breezy Point. Our makeup and hair artists are amazing. I would consider our artists natural bridal makeup artists. We all enhance their best features and help them be camera ready for their big day:)
As you can see from her photos she is a natural beauty bride.
A shout out to Petals and Beans for the amazing flowers…gorgeous!!
We are keeping it short today. Most of us just like looking at the wedding pictures anyway:)
We’ve never worked with Nicole Marie Photography and I have to say I”m in love with her photos. Thank you for sharing.
M r. & M R S. Manley!
After nine years of knowing one another, these two were very excited to tie the knot! They spent 11 months planning their big day after Larry asked Gloria the big question at Oconee Brew Co. in Greensboro, GA!
How did he ask? “It was a long time coming, and my husband had the ring for quite some time, but he wanted me to be surprised so he did it when I was totally not expecting it. He asked to go to dinner at this fancy restaurant and by the time we were suppose to be getting ready to go I was not feeling getting all dolled up (of course) so I decided to switch things up and asked if we could just go grab some beers at the local brewery and have a more chill night. He was annoyed but of course gave in and invited his cousin and her husband to come along for company. We had a couple drinks and then his cousin wanted to take a picture so when it was our turn for a picture he got down on one knee and I was totally shocked!”
Gloria and Larry went with Champagne, black, white and greenery for their wedding colors!
When asked what her favorite part of the day was, Gloria shared: “Since I am from MN and he is from GA the best part was having all of our favorite people together for a long weekend in my favorite place in the world. It was magical.”
Did you do bridesmaid gifts or groomsmen gifts? If so what & where from: “Yes groomsmen gifts from Etsy were personalized lighters. Bridesmaids gifts were earrings and getting ready outfits from Etsy!”
She walked down the isle to Feels like home to me by Chantal Kreviazuk! They shared their first dance to the song You Make it Easy by Jason Aldean!
Number one tip she wanted to share when asked was- “Organization!! and dont sweat the small stuff, things will not always go as planned and no one will notice besides you anyway!”
“Funniest moment of the day was probably watching everyone taking a shotski and their reactions!”
They didnt do a big formal send off because everyone was staying at the resort, but they did do a sparkler line that they ran through! I love those!!
After they took a honeymoon to Punta de Mita, Nayarit, Mexico!

Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Sowers!
It all began about 9 years ago! These two love birds dated for about 7 years and were engaged for 1 year and 9 months in total!
We know we all love details! Who wants to hear about the proposal and where it happened?
“It was at our favorite campsite – Lake Koronis in Paynesville. We were there with our closest friends when he got down on one knee in front of everyone with a giant replica of my engagement right that he had made/welded (he’s a welder for a living). It was the sweetest, and now we go back to the same campsite every year to celebrate the day!” – Jessica.
These two did such cute bridesmaid gifts/groomsmen gifts!
For her girls she did a tote (Wedding Shoppe online) full of a bunch of items for the day of! Earrings to wear for the wedding (Express), lotion (bath and body works), Starbucks mugs (Walmart), tank tops for morning of (Etsy), custom hangers for bridesmaids dresses and their favorite snacks and drink of choice!
For the guys he bought them custom beer caddy’s that he also stuffed with their favorite things and beer of choice!
Every detail thought out perfectly!
The song Jessica walked down the isle to was – Speechless by Dan & Shay! Ryle and Jessica shared their first dance to – Today by Brad Paisley!
When asked what her favorite part of the day was Jessica responded with- “I don’t know how anyone picks this…. getting ready with my girls in the morning – one of my bridesmaids got me a letter to the bride book and I bawled my eyes out. Or the tractor ride with the whole wedding party after our ceremony. To be surrounded by so much love and support is overwhelming. Looking out at everyone from the head table at dinner… knowing it’s unlikely that this same group will likely never all be together again. It is humbling and bittersweet. And then our last dance of the night where everyone formed a circle around us.. I still tear up thinking about it and can’t listen to Good Riddance by Greenday.”
These two are planning a honeymoon this upcoming winter! They are still deciding on where exactly but do know it will be somewhere tropical since it will be the dead of winter here! (I don’t blame them one bit!!)
When I asked Jessica her number one tip for a bride or groom to be she had some really great wisdom! –“I heard this so much too, but you don’t really get it until afterward. SLOW down and enjoy every. Single. Second.”There is so much truth in this! Time goes way to quickly, enjoy enjoy enjoy!

A wedding planner is so important for a bride on the day of her wedding and also the months leading up to her wedding day. Having been in the wedding industry for over 8 years in Brainerd and the surrounding areas, I can not tell you how many brides wished they had hired a wedding coordinator & planner… It can be very stressful for a bride to handle all the wedding details on her own. Our role as Wedding Planner is to make your dreams come true with little or no stress to you!
We make your big day come to life: we want your ceremony, reception, and all that ensues to live up to that which you have only imagined. And we want your experience planning and preparing for your wedding to be just as exciting and stress free!
How we plan your wedding depends on how much help you need and what you want. This could be anything from an inspiration picture to a detailed plan that thoroughly explains your vision. Our expertise and professional networking allow us to offer the best resources to connect the dots between all your details and help guide you through your event from beginning to end.
We start all of our relationships with a complimentary consultation to address required planning needs.
We also do wedding decor. We have an amazing team.
Shout out to Morgan Watson Photography for these photos. We love her style!!
