{Catherine 2.22.14}

Come take a peek at the bridal look we created for Catherine.  She wanted to create a loose, textured updo - nothing to structured.  

At the trial we tried going straight back - something different then what she is used to.  This brings up a great point; the best time to try something new is definitely at the trial run.  Because she wears her hair parted to the side normally, she thought wearing it straight back would be something "new" for her big day.  A style no one is used to seeing from her.  She was happy she tried a different look - which we loved - but the big day came and she decided sticking with what she was used to and loved was the way to go!  Loving your look and feeling comfortable with it is really important!  Both Katey and her bridesmaids accented their hair with beautiful feather clips which complimented the top of her dress perfectly!

Stephanie 2.17.14

Who wouldn't want to get married in Florida?!  Meet one of our February brides, Stephanie, who came down from Kentucky to get married on North Redington Beach.  Because of time restraints, we were not able to do a trial run but after meeting on her wedding day it seemed like we had been friends for a while!  She had such a fun and charismatic demeanor about her.  We reviewed her inspiration photos and came up with a perfect wedding look just for her.  

When deciding on a bridal look we always consider all of the factors -  

location, dress, accessories..

Stephanie's gown had the most beautiful detail down her back.  We decided on a full, soft textured up do - a style that would show off her dress details and just right for the beach breeze!  We think she chose the perfect accessories - a short, pouf veil and a feather hair clip.  She went with a beautiful daytime smokey eye and a soft, pink lip.

{Bridesmaid & Tea Luncheon - Styled Shoot}

This fabulous styled shoot was put together by Kelly Hancock Events.  When asking what she had in mind for the girls looks she wanted to keep it casual and chic. We started thinking soft waves, braids and lots of texture... 

When deciding on a makeup look, it is important to keep all of the girls looks similar.  For their makeup, we decided on clean, natural spring looks.    Soft daytime, smokey eyes.. flushed cheeks.. and false lashes.  We highlighted the maid of honor with a matching fuscia lip while the bride wore a peach-infused cheek and a glossy nude lip.

Courtney 2.8.14

 

So excited to talk about Courtney's big day today on the LL Blog!  Courtney came to us wanting a beautiful, romantic look.  Nothing to heavy on the eyes while still wanting them to "pop".  It was easy to do with her stunning blue eyes!  For her hair, she wanted it down and flowing, but still out of her face.  We put in "tape-in" extensions two days before her wedding - about a 45 minute service, easy to sleep on, can be used for length and/or fullness & perfect to still have in for your honeymoon!  Courtney's extensions gave her the perfect amount of fullness - and helped hold the curl in her hair all night.  We loosely pinned it back out of her face.

Laura 1.4.14

We started off 2014 with this gorgeous bride!  Meet Laura - beautiful inside and out!  As a  personal friend of Dena's, this wedding meant so much to us.  Laura wanted loose curls towards the ends of her hair.  She also decided on one of our favorite bridal makeup looks.  Natural colors on her lids, full liner, subtle cheek color and a neutral lip.
