Whimsical braided crown hairstyle for this bride’s fairytale wedding at Hartley Botanica

WEDDING RECAPSVentura County
Written By Emily Wright

Our beautiful bride opted for a natural, glowing airbrush makeup look and a whimsical braided crown hairstyle, creating the ultimate dreamy ensemble. The enchanting backdrop of Hartley Botanica provided the perfect canvas for this fairytale wedding. Nestled in the picturesque hills of Ventura County, Hartley Botanica is an extraordinary venue that offers a romantic and serene setting for weddings. With its lush gardens, meandering pathways, and breathtaking scenery, the natural beauty of the venue was the perfect complement to her ethereal and dreamy bridal look.

Our bride's dress was a showstopper – a stunning long-sleeved lace gown with an exquisite low neckline. The delicate lace patterns on the sleeves and bodice added a touch of glamour. This elegant gown was the perfect choice for our bride's romantic and enchanting wedding theme.

For her makeup, our bride wanted to keep things natural and let her inner beauty shine through. We used airbrush makeup to create a flawless, glowing complexion that was polished, but you could still see her skin shine through. She wanted a hairstyle that would capture the essence of her dreamy and romantic wedding details. We created a whimsical braided crown and intertwined fresh babies breath. The braided crown added a touch of boho, which of course we are obsessed with!!
