The Jenny Torry Show
By Jenny Torry
Categories: Society & Culture
What brides wish they’d known before booking a single vendor. Every Wednesday, Jenny Torry shares 18 years of insider beauty, culture and planning advice for the bride with a high standard. Jenny is an award-winning luxury bridal hair and makeup artist and educator who has served more than 3,500 women. Brides from every culture, from Dallas-Fort Worth to destinations worldwide, make her their first call, before the planner, the venue or the dress. This show follows the whole journey. Before the wedding: the engagement, the planning, the family expectations, and the woman you are as you step into it. The wedding itself: the traditions, the beauty, and the people who make the day yours. And after: who you become as a wife, a mother and a leader. Culture Code: A bride and an expert walk through one tradition from the inside, from the mehndi to the gele to the tea ceremony. The DFW Wedding Table: Trusted wedding pros answer the questions brides actually ask. After the Aisle: Brides return years later to share the lessons they wish they’d known. Ask Jenny: Your hair, makeup, planning and culture questions, answered. This show is for the woman you are before the wedding, the bride you are on the day, and every woman you’re becoming after. Because becoming isn’t always pretty, but it’s always worth it. New episodes every Wednesday.
