Choosing your wedding-day hairstyle is about more than finding a pretty inspiration photo. 🤍 Your hair should still feel like you just styled in a way that complements the entire bridal look.

A few things I always recommend considering:

✨ Want fuller, fluffier waves or a more dramatic style? Consider adding extensions — even if your natural hair is already long.

✨ Love dimensional curls and texture? Hair color matters! Highlights, balayage, or subtle dimension can help all of those beautiful details show through, especially in photos.

✨ Think about your dress neckline, veil, accessories, and the overall feeling of your wedding when choosing between wearing your hair up or down.

✨ And most importantly, choose a style you actually feel comfortable in. If you never wear your hair completely slicked back, your wedding day probably isn’t the day to suddenly become a slick-back girl.

Your bridal hair should photograph beautifully, last through the celebration, and still feel like you when you look back at your photos years from now. 🤍

September is here … 💅🏽🤎✨

That first look at yourself when it all becomes real. 🤍

There’s something so special about those final moments of getting ready the hair is finished, makeup is done, the dress is waiting, and suddenly you’re not just getting ready for your wedding anymore… you’re the bride. 🥹

Creating bridal hair & makeup that still feels like you, just elevated, has always been one of my favorite parts of what I do.

So grateful I got to be part of this beautiful morning. 🤍

A little July nail recap because… WOW. 😍✨

Every set this month was so much fun to create, and you all kept me inspired every single day. Thank you for trusting me with your nails!

Running multiple parts of my business means some seasons shift, and August is one of those months as we pour so much into preparing for the Clark County Fair + all my weddings this month. Even so, creating nails will always be one of my favorite parts of what I do! ❤️

I also have something I’ve been so excited to share with you. Once the fair is behind us, I’ll finally be able to announce what’s next, and I truly think you’re going to love it.

Thank you for supporting every chapter of this journey. ✨
