Congratulations to Nicole and Andy!!

A big Congratulations goes out to Nicole and Andy who were married Friday the 19th of June at the Rusty Pelican! I had the pleasure of styling the bride and bridesmaids hair, along with the mother of the bride and grandmother also. The bride had a tossled curl to her updo that gave a more of a beachy style to the updo, but still very elegant and glamorous. The bridesmaids had a very sleek low side pony with a beautiful gerber daisy for accent. It was so nice to work with them. Tamara Whittaker was the talented makeup artist I worked with on this wedding. Thanks for having us out Nicole, the pleasure was all ours! Congrats!

I had so much fun the other night at The Perfect Wedding's Guide Industry Appreciation Party! I always like a good party and this one's theme was Denim and Diamonds! I enjoyed meeting a ton of new vendors and because I'm relatively new to the industry (although I've been doing weddings on the side for years) I probably enjoyed it even more than some:) Here are just a few pics. from the night. I decided to add some diamonds to my makeup for the evening for fun! Check it out!

This past monday I had a blast at the Premiere Hair Show in Orlando. It's always great to see all the new fabulous techniques and coming up trends. You see alot of crazy things too, which is always amusing. I was able to see on the main stage some of the greats in hair, Nicholas French (my new hair hero), who is a runway stylist. Nick Arrojo, who you may have seen on what not to wear..I even got to do a haircut I learned from him on my wonderful mom when I got home..too fun!! And of course, last but not least the always amusing and amazing Martin Parsons, master of updo's! Can't wait to try out all I've learned!! Here are some pics I took from the day:)

Missy Duncan Photography

I recently had the opportunity to work with Missy Duncan Photography on a photography seminar/workshop she was holding at her amazing residence! I did the updo for the bride who was had been married for a number of years already, but never had professional photos taken in her wedding gown due to her photographer at the time becoming very ill. And my good friend and colleague Tamara Whittaker did her makeup. It was relaxed and so fun. I enjoyed working with everyone there and thanks to Missy for having me out!
