This is a common request from many of our bridal clients, so if this is your vibe you're in the right place! Have you seen other brides, or have you been in wedding parties in the past where the makeup was too heavy and the hair too over the top that it just didn't feel right?

While it can be fun to get all glammed up, it's very important to us that our clients feel comfortable and confident in their wedding day look!

We like to consult with our brides to discuss their inspiration and their own vision for their wedding look along with their unique hair texture, skin type (and any concerns they have) to land on the best look for their style and for longevity.

Often, our brides have requests to look like themselves, just elevated. We are true believers that you need to feel comfortable and confident in order to bring together your best wedding day look.

And If you're a bride who has an urge to try out hair or makeup just a bit more bold than you’ve ever worn, but you’re nervous- we have a plan for you too (This is what your bridal hair and makeup trial run session is for)!

In fact, whenever we have a client who is weighing their options between two different looks we will often times encourage them to try out the more adventurous one.

It’s so easy to figure out what you want when the pressure for wedding day perfection is not there and you have the opportunity to wear a look for hours and really take it in.

Then if you happen to decide to play it down on the wedding day it’s a simple adjustment for your artists and you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that you tried out what you were curious about and ultimately landed on your dream wedding day look!


Happy Wedding Planning,

Ann

Did you grow your hair out several inches to achieve your dream wedding day look? If so, you've probably been fantasizing about the day when you can get a drastic cut. Whether you're thinking of cutting it right after the ceremony, or right after the honeymoon, asking yourself these simple questions will help you to decide if the big chop is right for you.


Have you been thinking about a specific haircut for awhile? If going to a chin length bob has been on your mind for 4 months for example, it's likely you won't regret it. You can take comfort knowing it's not a spur of the moment decision.

Do you feel most like yourself in a shorter length? If so, this is a sure sign that you're ready for a big chop. I'd argue that you don't need to grow length for the wedding to begin with- I'm a fan of our clients feeling the most comfortable and most like themselves on the big day.

Have you had a similar length/style before? This one is especially important if you've scheduled the change to happen on the wedding day. We all have a different comfort zone and sometimes when we have a shorter cut than ever before it can be an adjustment. I wouldn't plan such a bold move (if you've never done it before) in the middle of your wedding celebrations.

Have you thought about all of your options? If you're used to a long pixie style and you've grown 6 inches to a mid length layered cut for the wedding I recommend experimenting with new styles after the wedding. With your added length you have a lot of new possibilities you might have not thought of. For example, you could have a long bob first, then a short bob with curtain fringe 3 months later, and then finally a pixie. Why not have fun with it?


I hope you found this helpful!
