Special Occasion Hair

These pictures are from 2 different Weddings but I still wanted to post them because they are such different styles and turned out so pretty!

Makeovers

Some call it a makeover, some call it a style change - go with whatever fits you best, but these two looks are definitely both of those. 

This first guest came in with the intention of wanting to cut her bob-styled hair into a shorter pixie look. As you can see from the looks of her before picture on the right side, she had a bit of grow out and I was worried that the haircut wouldn't look as good unless we touched up those dark roots so we also decided to do a partial foil to brighten her up. We both were so happy with the end results! 


This next guest had a ton of gorgeous hair but was over having it the same long style she always had. We did a partial Balayage for her color to add some warmer, very subtle high lights to give the haircut some dimension because her hair was a solid dark brown color naturally. Again, so happy with the outcome! 

Yay for short hair! 

 

Robles Wedding, Queen Anne WA

A great group of gals this Wedding was. Traveled from all over the U.S. they had rented a beautiful home on the top of Queen Anne to get ready at. The Bride was calm, cool and collected which makes my job very easy. I appreciate that ;) 
First off - The 3 Bridesmaids :

Kolsky Wedding, Woodinville WA

What can I say, this Wedding is my absolute favorite - of course, because it was my sister's! This event took place at the beautiful Hollywood School House in Woodinville in early June 2013. This is one of the prettiest grounds for a Wedding in my opinion. (see link above for pictures) 
Since I was the Maid of honor my duties were to do the Bride's hair only - my friend Charlie came in to help and did the other Bridesmaids hair which turned out beautiful, down with volume and curls. 
The style of this Wedding was called "Vintage Chic" which I absolutely love. Gorgeous flowers, sparkly bling touches throughout the decor and a romantic backdrop at the alter with white chiffon drapery, a crystal chandelier and bunches of pretty flowers. 



For the Brides look we wanted to stay with the Vintage Chic theme and swept everything back in curls with a soft, romantic flowy style from the front. Not a lot of people can pull off the look without a part, this is one of my favorite Wedding styles and Leesa looked beautiful in it! 

Me in action - getting the Bride's hair started.

LOVE the hair broach (hopefully my something borrowed someday;)
