Rockleigh Wedding Makeup by Anabelle LaGuardia

On April 9th, 2016, I was privileged to work with the gorgeous, kind and lovely bride, Danielle, for her stunning wedding to her delightful husband, Dan at the Rockleigh in Rockleigh, NJ. Danielle found me listed as a vendor on the Brett Matthews blog for a 2016 Labor Day weekend wedding seen here. Ironically, I discovered that Danielle was the soon to be sister in law of one of my past and very dear Brides, Michelle, married several years ago at the Garden City Hotel in Garden City, NY. Small world!! It was so great to see and do again the makeup for Michelle and her mother, Ceil on Danielle’s wedding day! Danielle and her mother, Randi were such pleasurable ladies’ to communicate and work with through the entire wedding process. Wedding day hair by Kirsten Bode and team, and makeup by me and my assistant, Ann Marie, was done in Pearl River, NY at the Hilton Pearl River. Danielle desired a modern but classic and natural glam so I created a warm natural smoky eye with accents of warm plummy browns and soft golds. I used my can’t live without, Ardell individual lashes, to frame and enhance her beautiful, warm eyes. Danielle’s complexion was airbrushed and completed with expertly applied highlighter, bronzer, rosy cheeks and a coral pink lip palette. As always, Chris of Brett Matthews Photography, along with his highly skilled team, captured breathtaking images of this striking couple and every exquisite element of their wedding day. I wish Danielle and Dan a lifetime of continued love and blessings. Thank you so very much Danielle for choosing me as your wedding day makeup artist and for the glowing reviews that you and your mother wrote for future brides to read!
