More than a Wedding!

As a hairstylist and makeup artist who specializes in formal events, I'm looking forward to creating a blog to provide tips and that special day help with those important questions you may have concerning your hair and makeup. Also, to provide examples of the work A Hair Affair does and track our progress. And to connect you with other vendors who may be able to help you with your journey. Being my first blog, you may find this next paragraph a little strange for a hairstylist and makeup artist, but then again I may not be your typical stylist!
Like many of you out there, as a little girl I always dreamed of what my wedding day would be like. The flowers, the cake, the dress, the hair and makeup, the beautiful pictures, and all the little details. However important these things are, (and I do think they are important!), the connection to a wedding that foreshadows all of these things is the one with the special person who you've decided to spend the rest of your life with. I feel in a fast-paced, money driven society this most important aspect of marriage is being lost. A wedding ceremony is done to signify the unity of the two spending forever together, it was never meant to be a show. The details of a wedding (hair, flowers, etc) are a way of personalizing a wedding to highlight the significance of the act of marriage, not a way to bring attention to the cost of the event.
There is nothing like attending a wedding where you feel so inspired by the individual's taking their vows. To feel the love in the room and be surrounded by it is a true blessing from God. No flowers, cake or beautiful dress could replace this. While the all important details are fun, they should always follow in a far second to the meaning and significance of the covenant of marriage. My hope and prayer for all of you is that in the journey to the wedding of your dreams, you would find your dream of marriage far more fulfilling! 1Cor. 13
