A Fairytale Romance

You’re a young bohemian princess, in love with love. To channel your inner whimsy, the stylists incorporated a mixture of tousled braided fishtails and twisted details to enhance the endless textures of the dress. Consider this a floating-on-air feeling for your fairy tale moment.

Classic Beauty

A classic look is timeless and gives any bride a sense of royalty. Try a clean shape and finish to the hair that brings out the details of your gown. The makeup is kept clean so that the natural beauty of the bride shines through. A red lip completes this look.

Modern Bride

Think architectural with clean lines. The juxtaposition of the built-up soft-knotted texture creates beautiful fullness as it plays nicely with all of the geometric shapes within the dress for a refined finish.

Vintage Vision

When you want a little Hollywood glam and vintage loveliness, consider this new twist to the finger wave. Rope braids are created around the whole head to mimic the soft vintage finger wave. A long flowing gown with beaded embellishments would be the envy of any silver screen siren.
