Read MoreFinding the “right” beauty pro can be a daunting task. There’s so many options & so much talent.

Wouldn’t it be nice to know ahead of time? We got you! Here are your MUST ask questions before you book.
Read MoreCongrats you’re engaged! You have the venue. You have the date. You even have your rentals, photographer, videographer, and decorations. But what about beauty? There are some vendors who understandably come later in the booking process but the exact “when” is always up for debate. There’s a lot of (mis)information about how far out you should be contacting your glam squad. Well, fortunately for you this hairstylist is here to spill the tea so you don’t miss out.

Read MoreOh Bridgerton, I’m sure you’ve heard of it. The Netflix series that marries old timey ethereal looks with a touch of innocence but with a gorgeous and diverse cast and instead of waiting 3 hours for a kiss (eh hem Pride & Predjutice ) you get to celebrate with all your favorite people in their most passionate escapades. Move over Mr. Darcey…. Duke of Hastings is here! Can you believe I was resistant to watching it? Yup! But I caved to all the hype & gave it a chance which I am so glad I did.

While with many vendors you can experience their work in action prior to booking that’s not always the case with bridal beauty especially if you’re booking further out.
