Get your Hurr Did

Update - read all about it.... I am booking clients right and left (which is amazing)  but I am finding it hard to blog everyday.  I love this blog and I want to keep it going, so I am cutting back to 3 posts a week and I'll post more if time allows. Do you think you can you forgive me? Can we still be friends?  I hope so :) 

And if any of my fellow bloggers/readers would like to do a guest post, I would love to have you!

I haven't done a wedding hair post in a good while. Lucky for us I came across some fab tutorials recently and I'm excited to share.

Love this simple braid tutorial.  She also sells an ebook with 30 different hair styles, but her blog is a great resource for gathering photos to take to your stylist...

Hello Stranger!

Hello my pretties.  Sorry for falling of the face of the earth!  Did you miss me?  I missed you :)

I have been uber busy gearing up for a forest wedding this last week in Cambria, ca.  The wedding was ah-maze-ing, and I can't wait to share all the photos.  That's going to take a few weeks, so until then here is a pretty little picnic wedding board I put together for a client.

See you soon ! promise...

PUNCH!

I have a confession to make...I don't really like Summer.  As soon as Summer starts to show up I long for the fall.  Lame, I know. The one thing I do like about summer is cocktails...cold frosty cocktails, and I have very specific (and very happy) memories of Summer punch.  Since punch is all the rage, lets have a look at these pretty and tasty concoctions!

Loving the floating berries in the pretty pink punch...

Easy for guests to serve themselves.  Adding a simple wood base is a nice touch for a rustic wedding...

Love the color of this cocktail, and serving it in a big jug?  brilliant!

I'm loving this display.  Setting mason jars in the drawer is both genius and adorable.

The Reception Dress

I think Reception dresses are brilliant, especially if you plan on wearing a cumbersome ballgown for your ceremony.  Reception dresses are fun and unexpected...not for every girl out there, but for those fashion mavens who love a good mid-party outfit change (you know who you are) this post is for you!

The Barn Wedding :: Dresses

Just because you decided to get married in a barn doesn't mean a square dancing dress is in order.
These are some pretties  that I think would be right at home at a barn wedding....

This dress is a knock-out and makes a strong case for wearing a ....gasp...black wedding dress.

A vintage dress is always a good choice...

The Barn Wedding

Loads of people are choosing to have their wedding in a barn.  I personally love the idea, but I'm a sucker for weddings in interesting spaces.  I'm not really a ballroom kind of gal. 

These photos show the barn wedding as whimsy, as rustic, and as elegant...check it out and come back tomorrow for barn appropriate wedding dresses.  Yee-Haw!
