I had the pleasure of traveling into Oaxaca, Mexico from Los Angeles to be there and style hair and makeup for the bride and her bridal party/family for the wedding weekend. We did a bold eye makeup look, paired with a skin-forward natural airbrush foundation and glow. Hair was styled slicked back and snatched in a mid ponytail hairstyle. For the wedding day look, I created a similar makeup look. Minimal, chic, glowing skin with focus on the eyes. We waved her hair in a brushed together curl that really gave such a “wow” factor. The real treat of the hairstyle was individually placed pearls - organically added throughout the hair. A deep rooted tradition of Oaxaca weddings is the Calenda, a vibrant street parade with brass bands, fireworks, dancing, giant puppets, and of course mezcal.

“Planning a wedding involves a lot of shared creative output, so the most important thing is to work as a team. The shared flow can feel really great, and having each other’s support through the more tedious tasks is important. We put a lot of time and consideration into choosing the right theme for us, which helped us maintain our focus. Our planners, photographers, and baker weren’t just our vendors, they became part of our wedding team and became part of the collaborative and creative process.”

“Our vows were beyond special. We had gone back and forth about whether or not to share our vows privately. Being more reserved, Cierra felt it might be more meaningful to keep the exchange between the two of us. Eventually, though, we remembered how much we enjoyed hearing vows at all the other weddings we had attended. That helped us decide to share ours in front of our guests. And we are very happy that we did. It’s something we’ll never forget. Cierra’s grandmother was close enough that we could hear her words of encouragement. During our more tearful moments, we could even hear our loved ones crying along with us. We were both struck by the profound love and support we felt from our guests, and we think our vows welcomed the immediacy of those feelings.”

It was an honor when Riley, founder and CEO of The Yes Girls, reached out for her own dream day at Monserate Winery! She has created such a booming business orchestrating proposals and the most special moments in her couple’s lives. Now it was her turn to be celebrated! I created a makeup look that melded her mood board vision with her desire to look and feel like herself.

She knew she wanted us to create her dream bridal hair and makeup look and she wanted to feel special and elevated, but still feel like herself! Natural and effortless is our specialty around here, so I personally LOVE that kind of request. Everyone got hair and makeup done down the street from the wedding venue at The Ranch at Laguna Beach.

Our brides, Emma and Ivy, chose such a fun, carefree, and modern wedding day design style and we could not be more obsessed with every detail. The cozy/perfect-weather morning was spent getting hair and makeup ready at El Encanto, overlooking the Santa Barbara coastline. Their hair and makeup visions were unique while both encompassing our signature natural, minimal, and effortless feel.

Fun and cliche drive-thru wedding in Vegas! The ceremony was officiated by Elvis at The Little White Wedding Chapel. It was a private, family-only ceremony, and of course, the afternoon included photos of the newlyweds in front of the iconic Las Vegas sign. The after party planned for all family and friends Monday evening was at Ellis Island Karaoke Bar - outrageous outfits and karaoke required!

Jessica is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met! She reached out to us for her bridal hair and makeup because she knew she wanted a look that was on the natural side of things. We created the most flawless, natural, and radiant airbrush makeup look. Paired with an effortless, soft, romantic side-braid hairstyle! As locals to Los Angeles, they planned their wedding at Lake Arrowhead Resort.

Instantly fell in love with our bride, Alex, and her wedding aesthetic - classic and timeless. Her hair and makeup vision was a touch of Taylor Swift, meets Old Hollywood. SO CHIC!!! They chose the iconic, 1920’s, Culver Hotel, in Culver City/Los Angeles as their getting ready location and wedding venue!

Malibu is one of our biggest locations we travel to for weddings and events. With so many gorgeous nature spots, wedding venues, and wineries in the area, it’s a huge destination spot for our clients! This beautiful bride booked us just for her bridal party. They went for romantic and effortless hair and makeup styles that paired beautifully with their Malibu venue, Calamigos Ranch.

Understated glam look— with shimmer and glitter and some bolder choices. Michelle, from our team, totally killed it executing just that! From Hannah’s unique and personal details, to the pops of fuchsia, mustard, teal and navy, to her funky and colorful venue ( The Fig House), we just love it ALL!

A destination wedding WEEKEND in Zihuatanejo, Mexico… sounds like a complete dream, right?!! Sierra and Christopher made this their reality, with the help of their destination wedding planner, Jennifer Jaimes. The couple chose Casa Angelina, a villa in the Zihuatanejo Bay, as their breathtaking venue. Celina, from our team, flew out from LA for hair and makeup and created the most stunning looks for Sierra and her bridal party during the weekend. From a fun and colorful welcome party look to the wedding day modern and chic style, every detail was executed and fit together beautifully. Amanda Gillian, the couple’s photographer, also flew in from LA to capture the wedding weekend and the film shots are just always a fave!!!

Our clients chose a calming destination spot from Los Angeles and picked Santa Ynez tucked away in Santa Barbara wine country. The venue, Brave and Maiden, is a gorgeous estate with a huge property, and of course a love of wine. Our bride wanted her look to feel effortless! For makeup, we kept the skin natural and glowing with airbrush foundation, and a pop on the eyes. For hair, we went with soft and brushed together waves, complete with hand-placed pearls. One of my favorite hair looks!
