Thoughts on Makeup for Mother of the Bride & Mother of the Groom
It's Mother's Day again...! As a proud Mommy, I do sometimes imagine what my daughter would be like on her Wedding Day.....
Well, she's only 3... so I still have plenty of time to keep dreaming.....
In my previous posts, I've discussed the Hair and Make-up for Bridesmaids. However, the looks of the Mother-of-the-Bride and Mother-of-the-Groom are even more important, but frequently neglected.
From my work I noticed that Moms in Vancouver, especially those of Asian Brides or Grooms (Chinese, Japanese, Korean etc.) are often modest about looking too beautiful at their children's Wedding. I often hear comments like "It's not my day... It's my daugther's day... Let HER be the gorgeous one." "I'm too old, don't waste money on me..." "My skin is too wrinkly to wear Make-up anyway...". As a result, they looked pale and far less glamourous than they could have on such a special occasion.
On the other hand, on certain Mothers of the Brides and Grooms, I've seen bold and over-the-top kind of Makeup styles that they have been wearing since the 70's and 80's.
As a Makeup Artist, I love working with the Moms. Apart from the Bride, the two Mothers are definitely the biggest female VIPs of the Wedding Day. I've only been a Mom for three years and I know how much work and energy it takes to raise kids. These Moms deserve to be the stars!
Actually, lots of guests attend the Wedding because of the parents, and the two Mothers are often the most greeted ladies after the Bride, photographed throughout the ceremony and reception. A good Makeup application not only brings out their natural beauty, but helps them feel great as they step on the red carpet, and guarantees their looking elegant and radiant in all the Wedding photos.
To encourage all Mothers to look fabulous on their children's Wedding Day, this Summer I am offering special rates on Makeup for the Mothers of the Bride and Groom. Please feel free to email me at info@michellemakeup.com for more information about my Bridal Makeup and Hair service.
Happy Mother's Day...!
