Idyllwild Elope Love Story


We’re finally here

Through magic my beautiful bride found my site online and was ready to learn my availability. Unbeknownst to me her soon-to-be Hubby had also found my site!

It got interesting because her fiancé had known me in our paths in sales, knew I did makeup and hair. But I had never passed him my business information. It was meant to be y’all. 💫

How to Guide: Bridal Planning V.4 with FREE checklist


A timeline

I created this plan because I wanted to help brides and couples who just got engaged and for that congratulations!

4-6 months out: Pre-book all appointments:

  • Book your wedding day with your artist and stylist. Trials are highly suggested but not required.
  • Be prepared for a deposit that is non refundable.
  • Provide the maximum count of people that may need makeup and hair for the day. Bridesmaids, MOH, and MOB.

3-2 months out: Style consultations:

  • For your hair and makeup services share your inspirations and color theme.
  • Discuss with your colorist what color, cut, and styling is desired.
  • Continue to go to your brow expert. You don’t want to lose your brows while receiving a new service from someone you don’t know.
  • Begin a manicure/pedicure regimen to learn from your favorite nail professional. If you don’t already have one, to avoid undesired, damaged nails.

1 month out: Details in place:

  • Begin an eyebrow waxing/threading/tweezing service booked 2 weeks apart if not closer, depending how fast your brows grow.
  • Your microdermabrasion session at this time provides enough time for cell turnover, recovery, and  skin care regimen to be consistent.
    • any skin services done within a month closer to date of wedding may impact the finished makeup look. Skin recovery is subjective to every individuals lifestyle and results differ. Peeling is expected.

1-2 weeks out: Relax and cheers to you!

  • Hair color at this time holds a beautiful tone and ends feel soft, bouncy, and it’s picture perfect.
  • Facials are perfect at this time for vibrant-clear skin.
  • Take time to get everyone of your bridal party together to get beautified before the big day.
  • Receive your itinerary from Marlene for the day of.
  • Stay hydrated, carry snacks, and make time to eat. You risk getting light headed, sweaty, and bloat faster by avoiding food and hydration.
  • We prepare the timeline for selfies, pictures, and accessory dressing.

This is the amazing life changing program I use and have shared with my family that has drastically impacted our lives in the last year.
My mom did the 7 day cleanse program, I coached her along her journey of new questions and discoveries, and has a new meal plan to keep her on track on her new vegatable based diet. Through her discovery of sensivities of dairy, peanut butter, and gluten. At 62 her lifestyle has improved, has much more energy, and a passion is sharing her freedom from menopause.
We will have two events in November to educate what we used, share samples of our favorite shakes and vitamin cocktails, and finding your fit to what you need. Our first will be November 13th for Wellness 101 in her Palm Desert apartment. If you would like to attend and bring a friend RSVP to our event via Facebook, like my page Coach Marlene Aguirre, and share this post.
