Her simple, yet elegant bouquet is the perfect accent to her stunning dress. According to the Knot, "Fresh picked, wild looking bouquets are still reigning in the land of florals. In their recent article, titled '7 Hot Wedding Trends For the Fall,' "Finishing Touches, such as small vines of ivy, elongate the shape of traditionally arranged bouquets, giving them a whimsical appeal, while unexpected add-ins, like thistle and small leafy twigs, capture the spirit of the outdoors."

We are loving the half up-do styles on the bride and her bridesmaids. This bumped twisted half up-do (far left image) is a stylish look perfect for saying 'I Do's.' Another great way to add texture is to add in a braid (far right image). According to The Right Hair Styles, half up-do's are a very popular and trending on Brides and their Bridal Party.

We are in love with this low, and a little to the side, textured bun. The textured twists give the up-do a more elaborate style, while accentuating the Brides balayage.  Adding in a chic hairpiece gives the subtle an extra dreamy, natural look.

Wedding Wednesday: A Love Greater than Distance

"Distance does to love what wind does to fire, extinguishes the weak and fuels the strong." ~ Anonymous

We had the pleasure of beautifying an absolutely beautiful bride, both inside and out, along with her wonderful bridal party. The bride chose a romantic half up-do hair style with long soft curls.  This style perfectly complimented her natural beauty bridal look. We also had a great time enhancing the natural beauty of everyone in her bridal party. All throughout the day you could easily feel how powerful the love was between the bride and groom, and that they were also surrounded by an abundance of love from their friends and family. This was a beautiful wedding that we will never forget!
