Allow us to transform

how you see yourself
look one
look two
Your Transformation Sitting in a plush chair and with a silk robe wrapped around her body she feels the hands of her makeup artist apply moisturizer to soften her skin. She sips from her champagne glass and settles further into her chair, relaxed. Her makeup artist works skillfully while blending powder and foundation to match her complexion, sweeps of blush, eye shadow and eyeliner that causes her eyes to pop. She starts to giggle with nervous laughter while nude lip gloss is applied to her lips. Her hair that is usually left down in wild curls is shaped and molded before being piled beautifully on the crown of her head. Slipping into a silk gown and adorned in jewelery she already feels incredibly beautiful and confident even though she hasn’t yet seen herself in the mirror. And then when she thought she couldn’t contain her excitement any longer, she walks over to the gold gilded mirror and gasps in pleasure at her reflection. The woman who walked in with jeans and a t-shirt hiding the flaws she saw in her body, who has days where she forgets to brush her hair and only applies mascara due to her packed schedule, is standing before her glamorous, beautiful and completely confident in her own skin. She feels alive!
Let your transformation begin and become acquainted with the beautiful and glorious woman you are!

Preparing for your Session reservation Once your party has sent in their retainer for their Makeup application, your Bridal Soiree date and time will be reserved. Bridal Soirees booked but not retained will be cancelled by default and your chosen date and time will be offered to other clients unless other arrangements have been made.
posing & coaching It is not your job to create gorgeous imagery, it is ours and to that end each session will be artfully guided and directed as are editorial and fashion shoots. With professional makeup, styling and photography working as a team, your personalized styled production will leave no room for uncomfortable or awkward moments of being unsure what to do or how to look. We will support and guide you through the processes by showing you and telling you exactly what needs to be done and providing you support and feedback all the while. While it is natural for you to feel a little nervous be assured, this is our job, we really know how to create beautiful images.
scheduling your day We suggest fully booking the entire day off so that you can relax and enjoy the entire process and make it a full event with your girlfriends. We want you to lavish in a gorgeous bath to begin your day with pampering and beauty and follow it with a healthy and delicious breakfast. When you arrive to us refreshed and ready for you amazing day the possibilities for greatness are endless. At the conclusion of your session you will feel incredible, gorgeous and confident. This is the perfect opportunity to go out for drinks and dancing! You will look radiant, your confidence will be soaring and while we do highly suggest a night on the town we can’t be held responsible for how seriously hot you will look!
What is your Style?
When choosing your wardrobe options we encourage you to consider choosing more than one set in order to create a variety of looks and feels. Lingerie need not be simply a bra and panty set, we suggest it can and it should be much more. We are very fond of combining clothing with underpinnings, a variety of textures and pieces that might be unexpected but certainly sexy. We love a delicate vintage slip with a yummy cardigan sweater, textured stockings with a structured garter belt and gorgeous heels, beautiful sheer fabric gowns or blouses with very little or nothing under. For inspired inspiration check out the Faire Frou Frou blog. Consider the style and feeling you would like to embody with your session and of course we will assist you during your styling consultation. On the following page we have included gorgeous images of outfits and pieces to look for while you’re shopping and indulging your sexy side, but to get you started on your search below you’ll find my favorite places to go shopping for your unmentionables!
