Naomi's: Brides 2011 Choice Award

This year is starting off with a bang for all of us at Naomi's Studio & Salon Elite Hair and Makeup Team. In early January we were awarded "The Knot's Best of for 2011" and in late January we were awarded Wedding Wire's "Brides Choice Awards 2011" for the 3rd year in a row. This is awarded to those who demonstrate quality and service excellence in the wedding industry.

Although we stay very busy working in TV and Print, we absolutely love working with all of our bridal clients. They truly make our job so exciting and truly special. Thanks to all of our brides that have supported us through the years.

Naomi

Our "Real Simple" bride

We were so excited when another one of our beautiful brides was featured in the 2011 "Real Simple Weddings" book, on newstands now. She chose to have her hair and makeup done at our salon in West Hartford. She asked for a very classic makeup and hair look that would stand the test of time-and we delivered. We started her classic look with a chignon (low soft bun) and side bangs. For her makeup, we expertly airbrushed her custom blended foundation and highlighted her skin to created a "glow from within" look, we also custom built her lashes, which made her eyes pop! Jane from Iris Photography did such a beautiful job at capturing all the other beautiful details of this wedding--including the bride's beautiful and colorful Kimono and all of the other Japanese elements.



 Their wedding took place at the Eolia Mansion in Waterford CT and their other amazing vendors included:

Sixpence for Your Shoe (wedding planning),
Yumiko Fletcher’s Hana Floral Design in Mystic CT,
Moderntrousseau.com (for Mika’s Callie Tein wedding dress and hairpiece),
Yukiko Sato (Mika’s kimono dresser),
Vera Wang (for the bridesmaids’ dresses)
J. Crew (Mika’s shoes)
