TREND ALERT: Pull it back baby!

Last year it was a, hands down, “loose curls” kind of year. I walked into most weddings prepared to recreate the loose soft styles of Taylor Swift and Eva Longoria on about half of the wedding party. Brides and bridesmaids alike were going crazy for these effortless soft styles that guaranteed a flattering look, with a dressy feel.



I don’t think that trend has played itself out yet, however I am very excited to see the loose, face framing styles being pulled back in the most glamorous way! I think the key to this look is the softness of it. You still have those loose effortless waves but by pulling it back, your look becomes more elegant, sophisticated, and dare I say… sexy!!!

These are my favorite looks that I saw showcased on this year’s red carpet that could be the perfect look for both bride and bridesmaid who wants to step it up a notch.

Introduction pt 2


I feel like there is a lot of pressure for a "first post" of the re-launch of our blog. Do we start off the bat with tips, trends, and pictures of our work? Or do we try and win you over with an introduction piece, with fancy words and phrases that make you feel desperate to learn more about these girls?

We wanted to have a blog to share with all of our brides, colleagues in the wedding world, and random readers who stumbled on a hair and makeup site what goes on in our heads. We want to share what its like to go on a trial session with a bride, what a Saturday is like during wedding season. To keep you posted with special projects we are working on, Share our favorite looks and tips, and whatever else we feel you need to know about us, bridal hair and makeup, and beauty in general.

We have a different approach than most people. We are inspired by fashion and red carpet looks and do not believe that every bride needs to look like a... well...traditional bride, but more the best version of herself. We respect the rules of tradition but respectfully break them when needed to achieve a bride’s best look, hands down.

We love to create. We love to meet new people. We love what we do and think we are pretty dang good at it. So we are trying to share the love and make what we do accessible to those interested in a different approach with a jaw dropping result. So stay tuned for an inside look into our beauty brains and what it’s like to be a brides beauty guru.
