Just being a girl… in love, ready to get married! Alexis chose a romantic, effortless look for her wedding day. Hair down with soft, tousled waves that looked so beautiful under her veil while she said “I Do”! Her dress was absolutely perfection but we loved that she had some fun with her dance floor outfit. 🪩💍💫

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something BLUE! 💙

Something blue is such a beautiful tradition that has been around since the late 1800s! Many brides creatively incorporate this lovely color, whether as a small detail or a full color scheme. It adds a charming touch to the celebration, making it even more memorable and special. What will be your “something blue”?! 💍

Award season has been so glamorous so far and we’ll be so sad when it comes to an end with the Oscars soon.
However, we’ve diligently been taking notes on all the “red carpet” looks including beauty/hair. We’ve seen romantic beauty looks dominate the carpets as well as chic and bold. Both are great examples of what Hollywood looks can translate beautifully into bridal looks to walk down the aisle in. Swipe through for some of our favorite celebrity glam! 💄💋
