Humidity-proof hair
Summer air on the lake is humid. We choose a style that holds its shape, and I set it to last from the first look to the last dance.

Planning your beauty for a Lake Como wedding
Lake Como weddings are beautiful and logistically special. Villas sit along a long, narrow lake, guests often arrive by boat, and summer days are warm and humid. Your hair and makeup plan needs to fit all of that.
I build your timeline around your venue, your photographer and your ceremony time, so you are ready early, calm, and camera-ready for the whole day.
As a makeup artist at Lake Como I travel to all the classic wedding venues on the lake, such as Villa Balbiano, Villa Erba, Villa del Balbianello, Villa d'Este and Grand Hotel Tremezzo, as well as private villas and smaller hotels in Bellagio, Varenna and Cernobbio. Many of them have beautiful bridal suites with lake views, and I plan the light and the space for getting ready together with your planner.
What I plan for at Lake Como
Every detail is agreed with you on our video consultation before you fly.
Long-wear, natural skin
Skin is prepped to stay fresh in warm weather, with a finish that photographs softly in bright lake light, never heavy.
Boat and road timing
Travel between towns can take longer than it looks on the map. I plan my arrival with your planner so getting ready never runs late.
Touch-ups for photos
Lake Como portraits often move between gardens, terraces and the water. We plan when and how to keep your look fresh between locations.

Lake Como wedding questions
Do you travel to villas that are only reachable by boat?
Yes. Let me know how your venue is reached, and I will plan my arrival together with your planner.
Can my trial take place at Lake Como?
Yes. The trial usually happens at your hotel a few days before the wedding. We prepare everything over video before you fly.
Will my makeup last in July heat?
We choose long-wear products and a skin prep suited to warm, humid weather, and I show you simple blotting for later in the day.
How do you keep my hair in place in the Lake Como humidity?
I prep your hair with products made for humid air and choose a style that keeps its shape, like a soft updo, a sleek bun or set waves. If you love loose hair, we set the waves so they relax beautifully during the day instead of falling flat.
Will my hairstyle hold on a boat ride?
Yes, if we plan for it. When I know you arrive or leave by boat, I secure the style and the veil a little more and pack pins and a small touch-up kit, so the wind becomes part of the photos, not a problem.
What time should hair and makeup start on the wedding morning?
For the bride alone I usually start about three hours before the ceremony. Each guest adds around 45 to 60 minutes, which is why I come with a colleague for bigger bridal parties. I send you an exact timeline once I know your ceremony time.
