Blogging on all things Southern California weddings and elopements!
The biggest wedding hair trends we are seeing this year
The Hailey Bieber inspired wedding hair has been HUGE amongst our LA brides. A huge bridal hair trend with my brides and bridal parties - simplicity. If it seems “simple”, it’s probably trending right now and chic AF. The bridal ponytail is one of those classic styles that is so cute! You can go more sleek with it, or more tousled for a more romantic feel.
Old Hollywood meets Catalina Island
Every detail about this day’s design was impeccable. Our bride Juliana’s look was iconic Old Hollywood and met with the gorgeous scenery of Catalina Island! We styled her hair in romantic, brushed out waves with a deep side part. The defining feature of her makeup look was a vintage black winged liner which paired so beautifully with her wedding dress and long white gloves.
Hailey Bieber inspired wedding day look...
Our bride Corie went with the most stunning modern bridal look. We slicked back her hair in a tight, yet classic bun. Very much a nod to the Hailey Bieber wedding day look, and I think Corie just pulled it off beautifully! This adorable Manhattan Beach couple chose SmogShoppe in Culver City for their venue and it was executed perfectly by our fave ladies at PS Plans.
COVID elopements... they can actually be full of magic! Santa Barbara intimate elopement.
What are COVID weddings/COVID elopements looking like these days? Well, actually pretty romantic and magical, I’d say!!! Santa Barbara has the most beautiful City Hall, with gorgeous grounds for photos! An absolutely beautiful spot for elopements, especially in the midst of COVID and smaller micro-weddings!
This Laguna Beach Bride's First Look Will Melt Your Heart
Her bridal hair and makeup look was one that perfectly pairs with a dreamy, beachy Laguna Beach setting! For makeup, we chose to do a dramatic bronze eyeshadow and lots of individual lashes so the eyes completely pop! I curled Amy’s hair in my signature beachy, brushed out style, then created a side updo with intricate pinning and twists! Amy had a gorgeous hair piece that we included, along with her veil.
Destination DREAM | Descanso Beach Club Wedding on Catalina Island
“…Emily is incredibly professional and able to roll with last minute changes. She has a great, easy going personality and is so fun to be around. On a day that can get hectic and stressful, it was nice to have someone calm and fabulous! I wish I could use her for every event I attend!” — Bride Lauren
This Pasadena Wedding's Sentimental Details Are Everything
The wardrobe for this wedding was particularly my FAVE. The mother of the bride’s wedding dress was transformed into the prettiest getting ready robe/gown I’ve ever seen! So much sentiment. For the ceremony, K wore a Grace Loves Lace gown, then changed to a jumpsuit for the reception, made by Amanda James Design. K’s hair was styled in a romantic twisted updo, with makeup very minimal and classic - something that will always be timeless!

When this bride from Texas emailed me about her destination elopement, I could not have been more excited to travel back for work! Their photos + video so beautifully capture that “adventure couple” vibe.
