This episode is Part 1 of my 2-Part Desti Beauty Chat with Ivory Perkins, who I brought along to Mexico with me to do my makeup and hair for my destination 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.
In this episode, we talked about:
· Dealing with roadblocks on the way and when we arrived to Mexico
· What we did well, what could have been improved, what was expected etc.
· Getting the most out of your wedding photos
· Prepping your partner and Bridefriends for what you need
· The Different Types of Beauty Pros
· And more!
