CT bridal hair and makeup at La Bella Vista for this 2020 wedding was delayed due to COVID, but all the waiting made it even more special! 2020 was obviously a tough year to be planning a wedding, but our KiSSandMaKeUp bride, Lauren, didn’t let it stop her love story! Read all about COVID planning (and REplanning) and view her gorgeous bridal look below.

Lauren and her now husband, Jordan, met back in middle school. They briefly “dated” as teens and then reconnected during college. After impatiently waiting, they got engaged on a trip to Jamaica in March 2019. Their original plan was to get married on June 20, 2020. Due to COVID, they weren’t able to have their June wedding as initially planned, but instead they had a small, intimate backyard wedding with immediate family. It turned out to be such a special day with some of their most important people!

Fast forward to September and they were able to have a wedding reception with the rest of the bridal party, family, and friends at La Bella Vista. The staff at La Bella Vista are so kind and willing to go the extra mile for their couples. Their food is amazing too!

“Our florist, Melissa from Stylish Blooms, is so talented and was able to make our vision come to life with her bouquets and centerpieces. The photographer, Stacy Smith, captured our love and celebration with amazing photos.”
