New Year, New Face for BridalGal Multi Cultural Beauty

With the new year approaching, engagement season in bloom, I want to wish all our fans, clients, friends and family a great new, healthy, happy and prosperous New Year, lots of happy times and memories to cherish.  Family and friends bonds as there is nothing more important to cherish.   May your dreams come true and GOD bring you health and more happyness. 

A great thanks for the support of all our clients, followers and friends who have always been supportive and have deposited their trust in us.  We are very honored to have you with us.  Thank you.

No matter how preety, beautiful we are, (we are all beautiful, we all have something special) makeup well executed can enhance your look no matter what your concerns are about the way you look and feel about yourself.

The secret which is no secret at all, is in the blending of the makeup and a keen eye for what works for each of us. Overdone is never attractive. 

 Our new BridalGal Multi Cultural Model, a real bride, Nikki.  Is a very sweet, kind and lovely young bride.

 

We had the pleasure and honor of getting her ready for her wedding this past summer. 

Photo was taken by the very talented photographer, Sandeep at www.bestphotog.com with his eye on detail, creative and esthetic mind, he captured not only Nikki's outter beauty but her kind essense and inner beauty.  For more photos of Nikki you can visit Sandeep's website www.bestphoto.com      Makeup by Lilly Rivera, Hair By Petra Muriel, Styling by the BridalGal Pro Team of Stylists.

Happy New Year and see you next week!

Mehendi is not just for Indian Weddings!

BridalGal  Indian Weddings, is proud to introduce 2 new members of our Master Bridal  Creative Team,  and experts in Mehendi, Ms. Mansi and Ruchi Shah Mehendi artists. 

 It takes artistry, professionalism, genuine interest and customer care, along with many years of experience and talent to be part of our growing team of beauty professionals. 

 

Mansi  (17 years old) on the left , and Ruchi, her mother, on the right, started their craft, which grew out of passion and hardwork. These ladies are true artists in every way.  They I have been doing mehendi since childhood. Ruchi, has been professionally trained under Ms. Saroj Oza,  and Mansi is god gifted with this talent. She has been doing mehendi since before she had begun coloring with crayons as a child.

 

Their craft is their passion, their brides are their joy.   Their and our greatest reward is  coming up with creative and unique and personalized patterns for each bride and occasion. They bring to the overy stressed bride with hours of beautiful work, calm and help make her day special. "No request is too big, we like challenges. No occasion is too small, as far as there is curiosity and love for our art, we will be there! " 

 

Mehendi is not just for Indian brides or weddings, having mehendi for special events, non Indian weddings is a growing trend for the artistry and beauty of the work.  And is also great for those people who have a problem with "LONG TERM COMMITMENTS" .  If you want to see how a tattoo design would look, just have the artist draw the design you have in mind. Once the henna settles, the design will last anywhere from 5 to 10 days. 

A great way to know if a real tattoo is something you would be able to live with for the rest of your life.

We are very pleased and happy to have both  Mansi and Ruchi join our select team of master stylists.
