I had the absolute pleasure of creating Sophie’s bridal hair, and she looked completely breathtaking. We went for a textured mid bun with soft, face framing pieces and the most perfect, subtle hair accessories.

It was the ultimate mix of modern elegance and effortless romance!

Me and my amazing assistant had the best time getting her wonderful bridal party ready. The energy in the room was just unmatched.

Sophie, thank you so much for trusting us with your big day! 🤍

The most requested bridal style of the year… and for good reason! 🔥☀️

Every single look you see here is a style I’ve created for some of my lovely brides over the first half of this year. It has officially taken over my chair, and it’s the perfect choice if you’re planning a summer wedding!

Not only is it chic, modern, and effortlessly sexy, but it is completely heat proof. It keeps your hair off your neck while staying perfectly in place from the first morning glass of champagne all the way to the midnight dance floor. 🥂✨

Which version that I created is your favorite? 1, 2, 3, or 4?
