Brittany not only carried out EXACTLY what I wanted for my hair and makeup on my wedding day but she also managed to make me feel completely at ease on one of the most important mornings of my life! From sunrise all the way through ceremony (crying touchups) she exceeded expectations again and again!

Everything about working with Brittany was a breeze! From first email contact to hair/makeup trial to the day of the wedding, she was helpful, kind and is SO talented.

Charleston Wedding Hair & Makeup - Frequently Asked Question
Please reach us at wildivorybeauty@yahoo.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Yes! Previews (not trials) are for booked Brides only. We understand how unnerving it can be to book an artist before a Preview, which is why we share our portfolio for you to review. This helps you determine if our style aligns with your vision for your day. As a popular Destination Wedding location, we receive many inquiries, and this process ensures we're working with Brides who truly value our work. In addition, our calendar books 1 -1.5 years out, so we cannot hold dates based on Preview sessions alone.
A Preview session isn’t required but highly recommended! It’s a great opportunity to preview your look, so you can relax and enjoy being pampered on the big day. It also helps us determine if any adjustments are needed for timing. If you can’t book a sessionl, just email inspiration photos and a selfie, and we’ll guide you on any prep needed (e.g., clip-ins).
Yes, all of our artists carry traditional long wear foundations in addition to Airbrush. Airbrush makeup is an advanced application technique designed to give you luminous & long-lasting results while providing a lightweight and natural feel. It is customizable in the amount of coverage desired & skin tone. It’s also sweat & water resistant & will last up to 16 hours which is perfect for a day long event in the Charleston climate! Pricing will not differ.
We totally understand wanting a natural look, and that’s our specialty! However, to achieve a natural yet polished appearance on camera, a bit more makeup is needed than your everyday routine. About 30% of color fades in photos, and since these images are edited, slightly more makeup ensures a professionally done, natural look. We always want you to feel comfortable with your bridal style, and we’ll ask plenty of questions during your trial to align with your vision. We may also offer suggestions to help you look your best both in photos and in person, so trust in your vendors is key!
Concierge Services - Want to stay picture-perfect all day (& night)? We’ve got you! Here's the breakdown of our extended beauty coverage options:
"Ceremony Coverage" - Includes up to 3 hours of touch-ups after your initial beauty sesh wraps. This usually covers the gap between finishing services & your Ceremony start time.
Need us to stick around longer or stay through post-ceremony touch-ups? No worries - it’s $75/hour after the 3 hours. Exact pricing depends on your final timeline (we’ll fine-tune that closer to the date).
"Reception Coverage" - Includes up to 6 hours of touch-up time after initial services - great if you want a fresh look for reception entrance, or a 2nd look.
If coverage runs past those 6 hours or you want a later 2nd look, it’s $75/hour after that. Again, final pricing depends on your actual day-of schedule.
A Few Things to Know:
- We’ll do our best to stay close to you during photos for quick touch-ups, but a little planning goes a long way!
- We might need to coordinate transportation or a spot to set up (especially for 2nd looks).
- We’ll lock in all those details once your full timeline is finalized (usually a few weeks before the big day).
- Smooth day = good communication
Let’s make sure your beauty lasts from first look to final dance!
