Last week, we made the case for prioritizing booking your hair and makeup artist for your wedding because, of course, everyone wants to look beautiful on their special day!

YOU, BEAUTIFULLY: A SA.LON SANTA FE
It’s probably pretty clear that we, your WCNM team here in New Mexico, have been around the wedding block a few times by now.
