Harper’s Bazaar Senior Accessories Editor Amanda Weiner first met business entrepreneur and L.A. native Jonathan Alagem at JFK airport when their Coachella-bound flight was delayed. For their wedding at The St. Regis Monarch Beach (stregismb.com) last fall, however, everything went according to plan. Here, her pre-wedding tips. MAKEUP I wanted to look natural. My makeup artist Liza Zaretsky (lizazaretsky.com) brought Boscia Sake Brightening Hydrogel Eye Masks, Orlane Tinted Moisturizing Cream, Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint in Ample Amber for my eyelids, individual eyelashes, NARS The Multiple in Maldives for bronzing and Bite Beauty Lipstick in Musk. I chose OPI nail polish in Bubble Bath. HAIR I always wear a center part and bun and my hairstylist Nancy Rodriguez (giuseppe​franco​salon​.com) made it into the most polished, elegant version. After the first dance, I let my hair down into voluminous waves. PREP I drank a ton of water leading up to my wedding to hydrate my skin and started training with Erin West from Body Conceptions by Mahri (bodyconceptions​.com). When we first arrived at the hotel, I scheduled a massage to de-stress and I also had a masseur come to our suite for foot massages while the bridal party was getting ready—it really started the day off right. • CAROLINE CAGNEY.
