Brewe Wedding - Whidbey, WA

This was my first destination wedding (that I wasn't in) as far as just doing the hair and it was such a great day, I could feel love in the air! The Wedding took place at Fireseed Catering 
on Whidbey Island. It was a crispy cold clear fall day, the sun was shining and it was the first frost we had for the season. I was truly impressed from the second I drove onto the grounds of this location. 
 You feel as if you're out in the middle of no where, in the middle of the woods. This was the most thought out wedding venue I have ever been too. Even driving through the entrance to the parking lot there are details you may or may not notice, but I have a knack for those type of things - so I did. They have a beautiful old barn-style venue with a rustic chic feel to it. Woodsy and elegant at the same time. (check out their website, above - for more pictures of the grounds) 
I was mostly impressed with how well the Bridal Suite was thought out. Decorated in shades of pink and romantic touches they had a large closet to hang dresses that also had a mini fridge in it. A dressing room IN the suite with a curtain door that was big enough to fit the bride, her dress and at least 2-3 others to help with getting on the Bride's gown. There were 6 high stools under the long table lined with mirrors for everyone to get ready at. This made my job a lot easier.

 Now onto the hair : 

This bride was so easy going and low maintenance - she has long beautiful hair to begin with so we went with a traditional and elegant style, pinning half of it up with tons of curls. I also did the bridesmaids hair - two of her sisters. One of the girls had the most hair I've probably ever dealt with so we decided it would be best to have it up and out of her way in a curly off center updo. It turned out beautiful! The other sister wanted to do a little something similar to the bride with a half up curly style. I loved the halo of flowers that she got to wear - it added such a sweet touch. I also did the MOB, MOG and another bridesmaid (not pictured) - this was such a great group of ladies, I had so much fun being a part of Sarah's special day!!

Congrats and thank you for letting me be a part of your day! <3

Curly hair blow out

Judy has a thick head of fine natural curly hair. Because she has so much of it, every Thursday she comes in for a weekly blowout. I use Prive Weightless Amplifier
which gives her a soft to the touch volume while adding light shine and conditioning from her roots to ends. I use a large round brush to blow her hair out to give her big bouncy curls. Along with setting the top part of her hair in big rollers to add even more volume to last through the week.
