As the sun starts setting a little earlier and the air takes on that crisp golden glow, one thing becomes clear—fall wedding season is around the corner. We know we aren’t quite there YET…but follow us.


At Luna Belle Beauty, we know how quickly the calendar fills up, and we're here to help both beauty professionals and brides prepare for the unique demands of late summer to fall weddings.


Whether you're a makeup artist looking to elevate your seasonal services, or a bride wondering how your beauty look should adapt to autumn, we’ve got insider tips (plus some products you’ll love) to help you stay ahead.



Why Late Summer & Fall Weddings Are So Unique


Lake Tahoe and Northern California offer stunning backdrops year-round, but the transitional season from summer to fall brings specific challenges—and opportunities—for beauty professionals:


  • Heat & Humidity + Dry, Cool Air: Early fall days can still be warm, while evenings cool off dramatically. That mix affects skin texture, makeup longevity, and hair moisture.


  • Golden Hour Glow: The lighting this time of year is incredible for photos, but also requires photo-friendly products that won’t create flashback or extra shine.


  • Outdoor Venues Galore: From lakeside vows to forest ceremonies, hair needs to stay humidity-proof and wind-resistant—hello stronghold sprays and bobby pin strategies.

For Beauty Pros: How to Prep Your Fall Wedding Kit


As a professional artist, seasonal transitions = kit updates. Make sure you’re packing:


  • Hydrating but long-wear foundations

  • Cream blushes in warmer tones like terra cotta, rosewood, and soft mauve

  • Hair accessories like gold clips, velvet ribbons, or fall-toned florals


Try some of these products!



And don’t forget to prepare for touch-ups! Brides tend to need a little extra help mid-reception as temperatures drop and makeup needs refreshing.



For Brides: Choosing the Right Look for Summer-Fall Weddings


Your dream look should reflect the season, the setting, and—most importantly—you.


Here's what we’re recommending:


  • Skin: Think glowy, not shiny. Opt for illuminating primers + a natural finish foundation.

  • Eyes: Bronze, copper, and earthy tones are universally flattering in fall light.

  • Hair: Sleek buns, low-textured ponytails, or half-up waves with floral pins are in.
