The Sweetest Mother of the Bride

I've had the pleasure to do Makeup for many Brides along with their Mothers. The Wedding Day is an occasion of a lifetime, but also a day of great stress. I have seen many moms and daughters drawn closer on this magical day, and some trying hard to manage the bubbling tension.

Julia and Ellen have left me with a real impression amongst all my great clients this Summer.

I met Julia and Ellen during the Trial Session as well as the Wedding Day, and had some good chats with both of them. Julia, the Bride, is beautiful, young and fun. Ellen is loving, supportive and thoughtful. It was a joy to watch this Mother put her daughter’s interests and preferences first in every way during the planning and on the Wedding Day. No attitude. No demand. No attempt to steal the spotlight. Yet ready to help whenever help was needed -- prominent and humble tasks alike -- all with calmness and great efficiency.

When I told her how wonderful she was, Ellen just smiled and said, "Julia is a great daughter."

Hmmm, on the day my daughter is a Bride (in some 20+ years…), I would love to be like you, Ellen.

Thank you for your example.
