01. Tell us the story of how your business got started!
“Lady Vamp Artistry was started back in 2016 by a phenomenal makeup artist, who I now consider a good friend! We were introduced in 2018, where she hired me on her team and I was put into a lead hair artist role. Fast forward to the summer of 2021, she was ready to focus on a new chapter in her life and pass the business off. In November, I purchased LVA and was ready for my new beginning!”
02. What’s your favorite wedding trends right now?
“I have SO many! First few that come to mind are the pearl veils and reception dress change!”
03. What wedding trend(s) are you over?
“Not seeing your partner the morning of the wedding or sleeping together the night before. One question I always ask my brides when they sit in my chair is how they are feeling and if they got any rest the night prior! SO many times they mention that they are not used to sleeping without their partner, therefore did not get a good night's rest or that they felt anxious waiting to see them. I know for myself, so much of my anxiety melted away on my wedding day when I finally got to be with my partner. Of course it's fun to keep your final look a secret but I say it's ok to ditch the trend of not seeing them before then!”
04. What’s something you wish every planner told their couples?
“Book your hair and makeup team ASAP! Also, do what YOU want to do as you plan your wedding and not what you think you should do or what everyone else wants.”
05. What would be your dream destination wedding location to work?
“Any beautiful tropical destination!”
06. What is your favorite part of a wedding day as a vendor?
“There are many, but definitely seeing your client's face light up when they see themselves for the first time after you complete their hair and makeup. Making someone feel beautiful is honestly one of the greatest feelings!”
07. What item can you not live without on a wedding day?
“ALL of my supplies! Hot tools, products, bobby pins, etc.”
08. What was something you dreamed of having being part of your wedding
when you were a kid?
“I knew as a kid that I wanted to get married in the church where I grew up and that is what we did!”
09. What’s your favorite place to grab a bite to eat and/or drink right now in
the Twin Cities right now?
“I love some good breakfast food and coffee! You can never go wrong with The Buttered Tin.”
