An Expert in DestinationWeddings and Elopements
With more than 25 years of experience as a makeup artist, Mar Martínez has had the pleasure of doing the makeup for brides from different cultures. She is used to working for destination weddings and elopements in Spain with foreign brides. She also has experience doing makeup for Oriental, Persian, Hindu, Jewish brides and guests.
Based in Seville but always willing to travel where ever in the south of Andalusia. Cádiz, Huelva, Córdoba and Málaga are the most frequent areas of work for her. During her first contact, Mar Martínez explains in detail how she works and her step by step approach until the day of the wedding. For Mar, the ease and comfort of the bride is the most important thing and for this reason she maintains a close contact with all her clients, listening to their needs and studying the proposed looks through email and WhatsApp.
Makeup and hairstyle trials are carried out adapted to the couple’s travel itinerary. If the couple has the opportunity to travel to Spain, a few months before the wedding, they take advantage of that moment to set an appointment and materialize everything. Otherwise, the tests are carried out a few days before the wedding without any problem.
Destination Wedding Makeup Examples in Spain
The Royal Wedding of Sophie Karoly and Francisco de Borbón
The Royal wedding of Sophie Karoly and Francisco de Borbón was an unforgettable experience without doubt. This couple, living in Marbella, decided to get married in the royal chapel of the Cathedral of Seville but celebrate dinner and the party at the Marbella Club. The work with this Austrian beauty began four days before the wedding at the prestigious Hotel Alfonso XIII, when they elaborated the different looks that the bride wore in the different events prior to the wedding and based on the accessories and dresses chosen for each moment. Mar also organized a makeup and hairdressing team that attended to important guests from all over the world.
Hindu & Andalusian Wedding: Naomi and Vyas
Hindu weddings are characterized by the explosion of colors, symbolism and in this special case the union of two cultures. During the months prior to the wedding, Mar maintained a close contact with the bride to finalize her look but also the timing of the wedding, since it would be a two days celebration. On the first day, the bride wore a Bollywood-style aqua green dress for the “Sangeet”, which is known in as the bridal shower. On the second day, the bride prepared for the Andalusian ceremony and she chose a more traditional Spanish bridal look with a typical Spanish veil.
The Indian Wedding of Siva and Pooj
This Indian wedding is another outstanding wedding in Mar Martínez’s portfolio, in which she has been able to show her talent with a makeup rich in nuances and intensities where enhancing the bride’s skin and beautiful eyes was very important. In addition, for Pooj, the hairstyle was another element to work on and recreate according to the Indian tradition so she could wear the “bidi”, an Indian jewel strategically placed on the forehead.
Mar Martínez offers a complete makeup and hairdressing service for both brides and guests. She is an expert in weddings, catwalks, shootings and of course destination weddings for all kinds of cultures. If you are getting married in the South and are looking for a professional person who gives you confidence and advice, this make-up artist will be your greatest ally.
