Elegant Pastel Clearwater Beach Wedding
“I wanted a natural, romantic glam look, something that looked fresh and played up my features without going too heavy.

Blush Pink and Burgundy St. Pete Beach Wedding
“For my wedding day makeup, I wanted to enhance my natural features, with emphasis on my eyes. I definitely did not want to look too made up (i.e. drag queen style). I wear my hair down almost every day, so I felt like mixing it up for the ceremony with a loose updo. To change up the look, after the wedding sunset photos, Femme Akoi stayed later to take my hair from up to down for the party. Femme Akoi was willing to do whatever it took to make me happy. They listened to my requests during the hair and makeup trial and really took those into account on the big day. I felt so beautiful, they did a stellar job!” – Lauren and Joe
