May River Made Up.
Special event, wedding, and editorial makeup artist in the Hilton Head, Bluffton, Beaufort, and Savan That taste.
“To describe our growing up in the low country of South Carolina, I would have to take you to the marsh on a spring day, flush the great blue heron from its silent occupation, scatter marsh hens as we sink to our knees in mud, open you an oyster with a pocketknife and feed it to you from the shell and say, ‘There. That’s the taste of my childhood. ”

Happy Summer! As summer comes in all outdoor weddings are slowing down. Never fear! there are plenty of beautiful indoor/ourdoor venues.
Grab your wedding professional and let them show you all the ones here in the lowcountry.
Are just a few that pop into mind. However, there are SO many more.
Courtney + James had a perfect outside ceremony, with tented reception at the newly renovated .hill.mansion/ .events. As a wedding photographer locally it was an honor to be chosen as her makeup + hair stylist. 💕

Im sure you have noticed we have been a bit quiet. Dont worry we are floating along. Adjusting the sails of the hair + makeup business so to speak. Possitioning it within our medical spa to provide brides with as little or as much as they need.
We are also linking up with brides who we really click with. Moving towards doing less weddings each year in order to keep our staff refreshed + excited. This season has slowed down for us and that was completely intentional.
Now a bunch of HUGE bouquets, beautiful faces, + windswept hair.

A little bit out of the ordinary….a lot of yes! Annie + Steve’s late summer soiree had delicate pops of baby’s breath - we love it they are like tiny celebrations everywhere. Raise a glass for their Fripp Island fête.
Things have been slow on our bridal page - we are still doing events like crazy but we can feel a shift on the horizon.

incredible, capable, awe inspiring, awesome, forgiving, healing, providing, thriving…..from the kitchen to the boardroom moms do it all. Today is your day, be celebrated and may each day have a little of mother’s day sprinkled in it. Make it known to a woman you look up to how much they mean to you today. We dont all have children (fur or human) but we can celebrate motherhood in all forms! 💕☀️✨

Low low temps this weekend in the lowcountry but we are summer dreaming. ☀️
2022 is shaping up to be one of the busiest wedding seasons yet. Make sure you ask these essential questions that are often overlooked of your beauty professional:
Can you schedule a trial before being locked into a contract?
Does your stylist help with veil + hair accessory placement.
Is there a charge for a retrial?
What extra charges may be in the contract (valet parking/mileage/hair extension placement)
What happens if the artist you have trialed with has an emergency? (not fun to think about but helps be prepared)
Add the above to the regular items that come to mind when talking all things hair + makeup. Make sure you vibe with your stylist - this person is your beauty bestie and you want to have an open communication with them.
now back to freezing temps but dreaming of blonde updos and sunkissed bridal makeup. 🥰

you know what WE think is REALLY cool? when a past brides sister reaches out to get us to come do her hair, makeup, and spray tan because she remembers the great experience she had over 18 months ago at her sister’s wedding at // we couldn’t resist!
we would jump at the chance to work with this family anytime. creating the look is one thing but creating the experience is a whole other story. we arent just here for the span of your wedding date - we want to help you on your beauty journey and make a connection with you and your family & friends. ✨
