Riley Canty, Founder & CEO of The Yes Girls, Gets Her Own Dream Day at Monserate Winery, Published in California Wedding Day Magazine

It was an honor when Riley, founder and CEO of The Yes Girls, reached out for her own dream day at Monserate Winery! She has created such a booming business orchestrating proposals and the most special moments in her couple’s lives. Now it was her turn to be celebrated! I created a makeup look that melded her mood board vision with her desire to look and feel like herself.

Here's what Riley said after working with our team: "I have no words for how incredible Emily and her team were for my special day! ...Emily and her team are not only SO sweet and enjoyable to have around (their vibes were FAB day of)- but they also made me feel so so beautiful! I felt like myself in my bridal makeup which was one of my struggles with previous trials with other companies. Emily made sure that, while it was a bit more "glam" than my normal everyday makeup for my wedding, that it still felt like me!!! I loved everything about my makeup and my girl's makeup! I am so so grateful!!! If you are looking for a sweet, girl-boss team, who will bring out your natural beauty and make you feel like your most gorgeous self on your special day- GO WITH THEM!!!! AMAZING!!"

Here’s an excerpt from the article: “From its opening chapter, Riley Hess and Joseph Canty’s love story was straight from a classic romance novel. Joseph, an Air Force pilot, proposed to Riley on Catalina Island after taking her on a flight for the first time. From there, the couple’s love story soared ever higher. Riley envisioned a classic Italian garden atmosphere for their wedding, so the couple chose Monserate Winery in Fallbrook. The venue’s cobblestone architecture, ceramic pots and lush greenery all contributed to the timeless Italianate theme. Every detail was chosen to create a whimsical, familial atmosphere, including Riley’s favorite flowers, ranunculus. The ceremony took place outdoors, bathed in sunlight, with a charming pond and fountain making for a magical backdrop.”
