The lovely, talented Stacey Banfield joins us on the podcast today. Recent-ish bride, and wedding vendor herself being a makeup artist. This is one of those juicy ones full of great advice, you will get a lot out of!  A few things we cover:  💜 A beautiful waterfall proposal.  💜 Planning a wedding in pandemic times, multiple cancellations, destination and venue changes, then finally getting their dream day. 💜 A wedding dress that got run over (yes by a vehicle) in the final weeks before the wedding 💜 Choosing great vendors, you trust and get along with and how important this is. 💜 Setting boundaries and sticking to what you want to do and who you want to have on your day. 💜 Special memorable moments, and weaving personal details into your day. 💜 Stacey's journey and experience as a makeup artist. 💜 How far in advance you need to book your makeup artist! 💜 Key wedding skin-prep advice and when to start. 💜 An important reminder to CLEAN your makeup brushes (guilty). 💜 How much you should be spending on a makeup artist. 💜 Her vision and why for starting Soleil & Soul. 💜 Another great reminder to drink more water, and how this actually helps your makeup look better. ...and so much more!
