Your wedding day mood starts earlier than you think 💄✨ Getting ready is one of the first moments of the day, and having a vendor you genuinely click with makes all the difference.

Have you noticed your Pinterest inspo looking a little too perfect lately? 👀 That's because AI has become a big part of the algorithm now. Some of those dreamy "inspo" photos aren't real people at all, they're AI generated. Still gorgeous, still gives great ideas, just good to know what you're look

Whatever beauty treatment you're planning, try it before your makeup trial. That way if something's off, like lashes lifting weird with false lashes, you'll catch it early. There are so many beauty trends to try, but remember, less is more ✨ #weddingtips #weddingplanning #weddingmakeup #we

Bridal beauty tip from Christy Monti 🎙️ Cater everything to YOUR skin, especially if it's sensitive. The golden rule: never try something new right before the wedding. Test it out at least 6 months prior, not just weeks before 📅 Your skin will thank you. #makeuptips101 #weddingmakeup #weddi

𝘚𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘺 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪 🎙️ Your wedding day should reflect you and your partner first. It's okay to lovingly set boundaries with family, even when they mean well. At the end of the day, it's your decision, and that's more than okay. #weddingadvice #weddingtips #weddingpodcast #wedd

Christy Monti shares how she handles client requests for their own products! 💄✨ If it's a good product she loves and approves, she's happy to use it. #weddingmakeup #weddingmakeupartist #weddingpodcast #cnywedding

The secret every wedding pro knows? Build in a buffer. 🕰️✨ Things won't always go according to plan, but when you plan for the unexpected, everything runs smoother. That's the magic of experience. #weddingadvice #weddingpodcast #weddingvendor #cnywedding

Christy stays for pre ceremony touch ups if you want her to. Grandma sobbing through the first look is a real thing, and so is summer sweat. Waterproof helps, but makeup still moves. Having your artist on hand for that last check is worth it. #syracuseweddings #cnywedding #weddingmakeupartis

Christy says don't put the bride's makeup last. The end of the morning is where the rushing happens, and that's the opposite of relaxing. Mid group is the sweet spot. You're finished before things get chaotic and you actually get to enjoy it. #weddingmakeupartist #weddingtimeline #weddingpla

Retinol and brow wax do not mix. Christy asks every client about it because the wax can lift your skin if you've used retinol recently, even weeks ago. Worth knowing before your pre wedding beauty appointments. #cnywedding #bridalmakeup #weddingmakeupartist #weddingpodcast #weddingtips

Jen of Maebelle's Mobile Bartending breaks down why they keep it "dry service" for now: it keeps things more affordable for brides and grooms, while they still bring the cups, straws, and garnishes. Basically everything except the alcohol itself! 🥂 Full service might be in the cards down the line,

Nine years at the same venue, watching the bar bill get bigger every year. Then Molly worked a wedding for someone she knew and saw the whole breakdown up close. She went home and asked her mom to start something with her. Maebell's came out of that conversation. #mobilebartending #weddingbart

Jen's one piece of wedding advice, whatever you offer your guests, they're going to be happy. You don't need endless options. Everyone came for you, not the drink menu. #cnywedding #weddingadvice #weddingplanningtips #mobilebartending

A client once told Jen straight up that they weren't getting the liquor license. Most couples assume the venue takes care of it. In New York it's an application you can file yourself, and Jen will walk you through every step of it. #weddingpodcast #weddingadvice #weddingvendors #liquorlice

Jen from Maebelle's told us they specialize in slushies, and the requests get creative. Shirley Temples, dirty Shirleys, and one bride who wanted a watermelon sour patch slush. Since they're a dry hire and don't handle the alcohol, Jen told her she had to soak the watermelon herself. The bride did
