Makeup and Hair by the talented Beauty On Demand Stylists

Traveling from Auckland to Mangawhai Makeup Artists, Hair Stylists fully mobile Auckland, Wellington, and Queenstown Weddings… Trusted stylists that come to you! 

Everyone looked exquisite and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out,  Aimee and Nicky did a great job.”

“Bridesmaids and Mothers were extremely happy too!
They provided great service, they were both very calm and efficient. It had been a very stressful morning due to issues with getting the hot water going at our accommodation and a few other logistical hiccups so there were some fairly frayed nerves on the morning of the wedding but Aimee was amazing at being a really calming energy for me and I really appreciated it.”

Recently Beauty On Demand did the hair and makeup for a styled hens party shoot with the team at Well Travelled Bride.  We loved being a part of the day and getting the gorgeous models ready for the shoot. Check out some of the pictures from the day…

If you are planning a hens party of your own then there’s no better way to spend the day than having the girls at Beauty On Demand throw you one of their famous Sparties. With manicures, pedicures, facials and other blissful treatments, you and your ladies will leave feeling truly refreshed and pampered. For more details click here.

Any bride-to-be will tell you that there is a lot of preparation that goes into planning a wedding, it doesn’t just happen by itself. That’s why the B.O.D squad makes sure they bring their A game to your big day, because they know just how much it means to you.

In order to continuously ensure that each and every bride achieves the look they want, the B.O.D squad have regular training days. Recently our talented team met up for a hair training day where they covered all the different types of braids and how to incorporate them into styles to suit all face types. They also went over how to prep for and create a number of different looks.

Our training sessions ensure the B.O.D squad stay on trend. The girls already spot a favourite for this coming wedding season, a soft braid curled around the lower part of the head with a few stray wisps of hair here and there, giving the bride an effortlessly styled look. See picture above.

For both bride and bridesmaids, we are still in love with the low messy or tidy bun with some baby’s breath flowers throughout. For bridesmaids a high pony tail with a soft wave through it can be quite striking, plus it’s highly likely that they’ll end up tying their hair back whilst dancing up a storm at some point during the night!

Flower crowns are extremely popular too. If you are unsure whether you want a flower crown or veil why not have both? You could wear the veil for the ceremony and crown for the party, or the other way around. It adds a touch of variety plus another look for you to play with during your photos.

On the topic of hair, here are some tips for choosing the perfect style for your big day:
– Look at photos of styles that are similar in colour to your hair colour
– Talk to your stylist about what is achievable with the amount of hair you have
– They may suggest hair extensions…don’t panic. These are clip-ins for the day, the process is easy and they cost around $160. Make sure to get them the week of your wedding, not before, as your hair may have changed colour. You can walk into www.superiorhair.co.nz and they will colour match your hair in 10 minutes max…easy!
– Think about your dress, the neck line and look you are going for. If your dress is boho-chic then a messy bun would work well, whereas if you have a more traditional dress then a classic chignon or French pleat would complete the look.

On the day-
We ask all of our clients to wash, dry and straighten your hair the night before, so that it is clean, dry and smooth with no heat in it. This applies to all hair types, there will not be time on the day to dry and straighten and the heat affects the hair making it harder to work with.

Above all, talk to your stylist, at BOD we know how important it is that each client feels like her stylist ‘gets her’. It’s our job to help you get the look you desire, and if you don’t know what look you want, we can help with that too.

Till next time!

The post A wedding to remember! appeared first on Affordable Auckland Wedding Hair & Makeup Artists | Auckland, Wellington, Queenstown.

A gorgeous winter wedding at Soho Winery in Queenstown surrounded by loved ones (and delicious pinot noir – thanks Soho!) called for one of the best weddings we’ve even had the pleasure of being a part of in every way! With BOD on makeup and hair and Andrew as the best man – we were truly immersed in this wedding and couldn’t have been happier!

Sally and Nick were married outside (god knows how she ordered the rain to stay away but this girl could, trust me!) in the most astonishing setting of mountains graced with snow at their peaks, it was chilly but I don’t think anyone noticed with all the beauty surrounding us!

Harry, their son ran down the isle to ‘daddy’ which was adorable, specially all clad in his gorgeous wee suit!

While Sally, a striking beauty walked down the isle towards her handsome groom, Nick. Who by the way is literally is beaming… his brother is looking on in admiration, and the rest of us are just glowing with excitement as we watch these to say their vows. After a beautiful heart full-filling ceremony, Sally’s daughter Livvy sang her little heart out which reduced every one to tears and from there we celebrated! Well and proper! 

I’ll let the magazine copy fill you in on the rest of the details as they’re actually know how to put a story together – we say so much but with our pictures of our work and the smiles that fill them! For one thing, I can’t even tell you how windy it really was and even we were surprised that her hair didn’t move after being outside for the ceremony and then the photo shootwhere they literally walked up mountains! Apart from a swipe of lip gloss this beauties makeup and hair held! Miracle workers! 😉

The photographs were taken by Emma from emmawilletts.com – she is a true gem, if you’re thinking about getting married, I would get in quick as this talented lady will be booking up fast!!
