Radiance All Around
The makeup inspiration for these clients were soft, glowing, radiant, & healthy. On the big day we did a very similar look on all her loved ones!
Bronzy Soft Glam
This Wedding was all about the "Me but Polished" Look. We went for bronzy glam and a low soft curled low ponytail.
Natural Curls
For this Bride we wanted to focus on her beautiful natural curls, so we opted for an effortless, textured updo. For makeup we opted for a soft glam look that brought attention to her eyes.
Timeless Romance
For these two lovely brides, we had an overall romantic theme, but wanted to ensure each bride felt beautiful in their own way. We opted for understated makeup looks, and soft hair styles to achieve both of their "Perfect Looks"
A Pop of Color
For this Bride we opted for a timeless, braided half-updo, that would show off her length while also keeping her hair out of her face. Her pink smokey eye was the exact vision she came to me with, but the pop of green on her undereye helped her to feel fully embodied in the look.
Effortless Beauty
For this Bride she really wanted a fully matte look, and that's exactly what we delivered. She wanted a barely curled hairstyle with most of her hair pulled back from her face.'
Liner and Lashes
Sometimes brides want everyone to have a similar look, and for this group of beauties, it was all about the eyes. Perfect Liner and a nice cat eye lash brought continuity to all the beautiful ladies. Keeping the bride's hair down, and the bridesmaids hair up also ensured the bride still felt like a star.
Timeless Beauty
For this bride it was all about feeling clean, bright, and beautiful. Using the Violet Voss Taupe Notch palette we were able to give her a lifted, bright eye look.
For her hair, she wanted a "doughnut bun" that would offer volume and structure in the windy timberline mountain top.
Boho Glam
For this bride we opted for a eyeshadow based liner, full coverage glam, and the perfect amount of body glow. For the hair we landed on a textured bun that would fit in with her camping, rustic styled day.
Subtle Matte Beauty
For this bride, we both determined a very understated look would suit her taste and comfort the most. With a skin prep focused look, we were able to ensure her rosacea was covered through the night, while also allowing her skin to breath. She looked so stunning, and we were so excited by the result.
Golden Hour Glam
A wavy half updo with the perfect amount of fringe. The perfect golden eye look with soft liner and whispy lashes.
Contrast
For this bridal party, it was all about the bride contrasting to her bridal party. We ensured each bridesmaid had a beautiful bold lip, while the bride had a soft nude lip. We also wanted to make sure every bridesmaid had the hair they felt the most like themselves in, meaning leaning into natural textures and curl patterns each client had.
Adventurous Brides
These beautiful brides wanted to embark on a 6 mile hike around Mt. Rainer for their wedding celebration. So, the hair and makeup was catered to styles that would withstand the humidity and movement. But, we also wanted them both to feel like themselves, so we ensured they both had their own "Perfect Bridal Look".
SPECIAL EVENTS & OTHERS
White Rabbit
For this "Alice in Underland" styled shoot, we went for an exagerated makeup look. Enhancing the size of the model's eyes and cheeks. We went for a glossy pink nose to encompass the cold wet nose of bunnies. We also blocked out her bottom lip with foundation to soften the appearance of the model's mouth.
Regarding her hair, We landed on whispy curls, to look as if the Rabbit had been running through the forest all day. The crooked ear added a quirky bit of personality to fully encompass the iconic White Rabbit.
Rainbow Baby
For this mom to be the makeup was all about her feeling like a polished version of herself. The Natural matte look helped even her skin texture while also prividing the perfect amount of coverage. We wennt for a warm toned eye look to help her blue eyes pop!
Her hair was styled with classic 1 inch curls adding body and bounce. With her side part, we anted to make sure her hair didn't fall in her face, so we did a small, simple twist to pull the hair back. The flower crown was a fun last minute addition.
Frankenstien's Monster
& His Bride
For the Monster, we used a mix of Cream based green pigment, grey powder pigments, and a liquid foundation to currate the decayed green skin look. We then went in with eyeshadows and liners to add dimension and stitching details.
For the Bride it was all about the iconic "defying gravity" hairlook. We used a "2 liter" bottle to create the cone look and wrapped the hair carfully around it to add volume and structure. For the makeup we went for a vampy red lip and big bold eyes with excentuated lashes.
Family Photos
Fot this mom we did subtle curls with a full glam makeup look. Bold brows is one of her favorite parts of makeup, so we ensured to frame her face well and give the 2016 carved brow look.
We also helped her baby girl feel beautiful with soft curls, a subtle eye shimmer, and a bold lip color; that made her feel ready and confident for her family photos.
+CLIENT REVIEWS
Working with Ashley was a fantastic experience! I wanted to feel like myself but elevated on my wedding day, and she delivered. My makeup was natural and polished, and my hair was so perfectly me. I was actually sad to take my makeup off and my hair down at the end of the night. Throughout the process, Ashley was very accommodating, patient, and clearly passionate about making people feel special and beautiful in whatever way that looks like to them. Would absolutely work with her again!!

"Ashley is the best. Not only is she super talented and does great quality makeup and hair, but she’s very easy to talk to and sincerely kind. We hit it off immediately at our trial and I ended up being incredibly happy with my choice to book her for our wedding. we Ashley is the exact kind of person you want in the bridal suite on your morning of. She loves to celebrate and joke with you and will make you feel so special. Thank you Ashley!!"

"Blushing Flower is who you need on your team the day of your wedding. They were quick and organized and made me feel beautiful the entire time (even when I greatly disagreed to begin with early in the morning). Even when they left, they gave me a great touch up kit in case anything wore off halfway through the reception, and to my surprise by the end of the night my hair and makeup stuck! Having Blushing Flower Events on your side will not only help you relieve your worry about looking gorgeous for your day, but you will feel like you have your own cheerleaders as well."

"Ashley was the best hair and makeup artist I could have possibly chosen! She was communicative up the trial and the wedding day as needed, and she has an online portal that makes things easy as well. During the hair/makeup trial she was receptive to any changes I requested and always had an idea to tweak something. I felt excited leaving the trial and I looked great the rest of the day! I have naturally curly hair and Ashley refined my curls and made my hair look gorgeous. I really picked Ashley for her specialty in natural makeup and she wowed in this area. My skin looked absolutely flawless despite some acne scars, and my eyes were just emphasized perfectly. To top it off, my hair and makeup only took a little over an hour on the wedding day! This is due to her great planning and organization. She has a very professional setup, bringing her own chair and lighting with all of her makeup products very organized and clean. My makeup stayed on allllll night. And I mean all night because I accidentally fell asleep in my hair and makeup at the end of night and it was still in place in the morning (oops). I would highly recommend Ashley for hair and makeup."

"Ashley was amazing every step of the way. We are not from Oregon and we were traveling for our wedding. Ashley was very responsive, accomidating to changes that needed to be made, and overall just an amazing positive and supportive person. She took all the stress out of getting ready for our day and made me feel beautiful!"

"Ashley was amazing. I recently eloped in Mount Rainier and we decided on a sunrise shoot. When I told Ashley it would be early, as in I needed to be ready by 6 am early, it was no problem at all. She came to my airbnb a little before 4 am, and we were done a little after 5. She was awesome in making sure I liked it and even had me go see myself in several different lightings to make sure I really loved it. She was extremely professional and kind, and while getting ready we chatted and it felt like I was catching up with an old friend. Would definitely recommend without hesitation!!"

"I randomly picked Ashley based on location and her website. I was a little nervous for my wedding as I don’t do makeup or much with my hair.She is very easy to talk to and did a terrific job! I got so many compliments from people even just looking at my photos.I can’t thank her enough. I attached a nonprofessional photo and I look pretty good for being 62! I highly recommend her, she is also very organized!"
