What went RIGHT and what went WRONG for my destination wedding weekend?

We go through it ALL in my #DestiBeauty chat w/ Ivory Perkins - who I hired to come along to Mexico with me to do my makeup and hair for my wedding weekend! In Episode 3, we chatted BEFORE my wedding, and then, of course, I got married and we ended up with plenty more to share, so this is our conversation that we had AFTER everything.

It’s a rundown of as much as we could remember and re-live and there are some gems in there for sure for you! This is Part 1 and here we share the wealth on everything including:

💕What you should look for and warning signs when interviewing your Desti Beauty Pro for hair + makeup for your destination wedding

 💕What to do if you can’t bring a professional makeup artist or hairstylist with you to your wedding destination

💕Day-of tips for your destination wedding + how to channel your energy

 · And more!

Enjoy!

And today we get a destination wedding beauty primer - I’m telling you now - we’re silly…but serious about our makeup. Let’s get to it!
