When your bride understands the assignment: have your hair color close to what it will be on the wedding day at the preview.

Hair color can really make the updo details come through in the hairstyle.

Down hairstyles are … ⁣

✨ high maintenance ✨⁣
⁣
What do we mean by this? ⁣
⁣
- They take more planning for when to get your haircut / how to get your haircut. » Layers make all down styles prettier. ⁣
- When curls sit against anything damp i.e. your back that may be sweaty they will begin to fall. » Extensions help with this by giving your own hair a “shelf” through out the day. ⁣

Nonetheless, down hair styles are … ⁣

These two just after saying I do at @silk_mill are just the cutest!! As I was going through photos preparing our website for its winter update I realized it has been almost 2 years since this beautiful day!

When the pandemic first started I heard someone say we will start to think of things as before this time and after this time. And, seeing these photos made me think, wow this was before all of the craziness started. Thankful to still get to celebrate love through it all!

Swipe to see Christine still looking incredible at the reception!

Let’s talk wedding day flow!

I have operated wedding days with a schedule and without. Ultimately it is best to just defer to your hired artist. Especially if a hair artist and makeup artist are being hired separately what we do may not work for them. But, As a hair & makeup team we often are managing 18-26 services with 3-4 artists and here is a little glimpse into our wedding day flow!

We DO make schedules, and here is why:

- To avoid only having the same person ready for hair or makeup, then leaving one chair empty.
- To allow our artists to prepare for the services they will be doing. Some of our artists do both hair and makeup and it helps them to know how many of each service they will be doing.
- To create flexibility and urgency. There is flexibility if someone needs to arrive a little past the start time of their time slot is not until later, and urgency for the people to be on time for their time slot.

We do stay flexible, and if someone run behind we just move on to the next person and will just swap someone to keep things moving, so there is never any stress.

Don’t you just love this tossled updo? It of our favorite looks!

100 % behind with posting to social media. We are thankful for the six bridal parties we were able to serve this past weekend and the four we have coming this week. It is an honor to do what we do. 🤍
