Bridal hair & makeup atelier · New Orleans
For brides who marry after dark.
Sculpted chignons, candle-proof makeup and veils pinned to survive a second line — styled for the evening weddings New Orleans does best.
The work
Brides, by candlelight
The atelier
Built for low light and long nights.
Most bridal looks are designed for noon sun. Ours are designed for chandeliers, courtyard lanterns and the flash of a photographer at 11 p.m. — sculpted shape, deeper definition, skin that glows instead of shines.
Séverine trained in Lyon and spent six years on fashion sets before coming home to Magazine Street. Every bride gets a candlelit trial in the atelier so you can see your look the way your guests will.

The team
The artists
Aaliyah Fontenot
Lead makeup artist
Aaliyah's skin work is the reason our brides glow instead of shine under flash. She carries forty foundation shades and uses most of them.
Camille Arceneaux
Hair artist
Camille sets waves the old way — pin curls, patience and a lot of spray. Her Hollywood waves have survived a ten-block second line.

After the last dance

Our ceremony started at nine in a courtyard lit by candles. Every photo looks like a painting, and my chignon didn't move until I took the pins out at 3 a.m.
The candlelit trial changed everything. I'd been planning a look that would have disappeared in the evening photos.
Aaliyah matched my skin perfectly and it photographed beautifully under flash. No grey cast, no shine, just me.
They sent a touch-up artist with us to the reception. She fixed my veil after the second line and saved the night.
