Lakeside Love Story

From a ceremony at the lake at Van Dusen Gardens to a reception at The Hilton Vancouver, this wedding was a true Vancouverites dream come true.


The Look

Soft eyes and a gentle pop of pink made for the most effortlessly beautiful bride. This is natural wedding makeup at its finest. Every element is subtle in the most spectacular way. The bride wanted her natural beauty to shine through while enhancing her already stunning features.

Kahlia created this base applying the following products from Stila Cosmetics, Glo Skin Beauty and Make Up For Ever in this order:

Soft Matte Complexion

Tinted Primer with a Beauty Blender
Tinted Moisturizer with an Angled Complexion Brush
– Mattified with Perfecting Powder with a Dual Foundation Brush
– Spritzing Mist & Fix to lock the makeup in place

  Simply Elegant Eyes

Aqua Resist Brow Gel to fill and shape.
Cream Stay Shadow Stick in Shell and Latte for a soft matte lid.
Black Smudge Pot for a perfect subtle wing.
Twiggy lashes for a full natural look

      Perfectly Pink Features

Mineral Blush with a Powder Blush Brush.
Sunkiss Bronzer with Perfecting Powder Brush
Pro Glo Highlighter with a Highlighter Brush.
Lipstick in Organza for a peachy pink pout

 



The Dress

The simplistic elegance of this all satin gown by Wtoo let the brides true beauty be the star of the show.



The Venues

A willow tree and cherry blossoms that the lake at Van Dusen Gardens offers creates the most romantic of settings. The Hilton Vancouver kept the romance going by transforming the hall with swooping lights and greenery to continue with the outdoor theme.
