Who doesn’t love a day devoted to them?! A day to feel amazing and beautiful! Last Saturday DMB took over Salon Legato in Birmingham and made one lucky lady feel like a princess. Jessica was nominated for our Mommy Makeover by her friend Amy who had nothing but inspiring words to say about her. She shared Jessica’s undeniable love for her daughters and the fact that she works 4 jobs just to give her girls what they need. That she is selfless and loves unconditionally. That she needed a day to make her feel special! A HUGE shoutout to Salon Legato for making all of this possible!

These cupcakes are SO delicious! She’ll receive a cupcake a month for an entire year! If you haven’t had their cupcakes you won’t be disappointed. They may just be some of our favorites in the metro Detroit area.
Outfit from Madison Boutique

She chose the perfect outfit for Jessica. A color that looked absolutely fabulous on her and a look that made her feel a little daring and beautiful.

We love Kate over here at DMB. First and foremost she’s a mom and totally gets it! She made Jessica feel stunning walking her around downtown Birmingham snapping beautiful pictures of her. It’s not too often that we get pictures of ourselves, hair done and dressed up. Thanks Kate!
Dinner at The Bird and The Bread
Jessica enjoyed dinner with her husband the night of her makeover. She was all dressed up so why not head out on the town and enjoy the European comfort food inspired concept The Bird & The Bread has to offer. A huge thanks to The Bird & The Bread helping Jessica end her night with a delicious dinner.
A Night at The Townsend Hotel
Ahhhhhh, luxury away from home! Nestled in downtown Birmingham this is the perfect night away. Jessica received a one night stay at this gorgeous hotel and we can’t wait to hear all about it! She’ll be saving this for her one year wedding anniversary in the fall. Stay tuned…
