Tucked between the wild beauty of Vail’s mountains, this styled shoot brought a fresh, playful twist to elopement and intimate wedding inspiration. With Polished Makeup & Hair behind the beauty looks, the focus was on creating a style that felt romantic and whimsical.
Two brides dressed in flowing, ethereal gowns wandered through the breathtaking scenery with the peaks of Vail rising behind them. The scene was as enchanting as a fairytale, with every detail thoughtfully styled to complement the setting.
Knowing the challenges that come with windy mountain air, Samantha of Polished Makeup & Hair crafted hair and makeup looks that combined beauty with practicality. “We went for a sleek timeless updo and a boho braid so they didn’t have to worry about their hair flying in the wind and smacking them in the face. I know from personal experience how annoying that can be!” she shares.
The makeup was kept fresh and luminous, designed to enhance the brides’ natural glow. Samantha says, “Our makeup looks were all airbrush makeup, giving both girls a soft glow and a little dab of sparkles on the eyes to go perfectly with their dresses and surrounding environment.”
