bride and groom planned their dream destination wedding in santa monica, california at the iconic Shutters on the beach

I had the pleasure of spending Rosie’s wedding weekend with her, curating hair and makeup styles for her coastal destination wedding in Santa Monica, CA. The celebration kicked off with a rehearsal dinner, where we created a romantic half up half down hairstyle paired with fresh, natural makeup to set the tone for everything ahead.

This gorgeous rehearsal dinner took place at The Proper Hotel in Santa Monica, a space with design, layered textures, and sculptural details throughout. With its art filled lobby lounge, rooftop deck, and that laid back California energy running through every corner, it was the perfect setting to kick off Rosie’s wedding weekend surrounded by the people she loves most.

Shutters on the Beach feels like a postcard come to life. A Cape Cod style beach house resort perched right on the Pacific in Santa Monica. With its chic coastal design, sweeping ocean views, and that warm, easy hospitality it’s known for, the hotel sets the most beautiful backdrop for a wedding weekend. Every corner of the property carries that laid back coastal elegance that makes you want to slow down and soak it all in.

On wedding day, Rosie stepped into her moment wearing a modern, chic bun with flawless airbrush makeup, effortlessly polished and completely her. We also took care of the groom with our grooming service, because every detail matters and he deserves to feel just as confident walking down that aisle.
