Melissa and Eugene

A special note from our Lead Hairstylist Elya for Melissa's wedding.

Melissa's wedding was my first solo wedding since joining the SPHMUA team. I couldn't have asked for a better more laid back bride!

On my way to the venue it starting to downpour. Once arrived I was in awe. The Pinecoft Mansion is like something from a fairy tale. The detail in every room is so breathtaking. It was definitely very fitting for Melissa.

Melissa's Style:
Melissa had very long hair. She wanted a braid with a very full low bun. To achieve a full bun we added some clip in extensions and using my texture iron to really pump up the volume.

Getting to know the bride:

Melissa is originally from Australia and first came to the US in exchange program. Melissa and her bridal party was so much fun to work with. One of my favorite parts about weddings is getting to hear where they all met the bride. She had two friends from Australia and two from here. It was so interesting to hear about the different cultures we have. Her flowers girls were cousins from Australia and they couldn't have been any cuter.

Check out some of Melissa and Eugene's special moments and how all of the little details came together.

Jovana + Tim 7.15.17

Jovana and I hit it off immediately. She was wanting to do a half up half down style or Side-Swept. We ended up doing both at the trial run and she decided she wanted it to be side-swept with a lot of volume and a braid incorporated.

Fun Couple Facts:

Jovana and Tim met in High school and they went on their first date their Junior year. Nothing had come of it, UNTIL - they reunited in their second year of college when Tim transferred to Jovana's College and they had sushi together. They've been together ever since. Isn't that adorable!!

Congrats to Jovana and Tim! Thank you for hiring Sweetly Pinned Hair and Makeup for your bridal parties hair.

Special Thanks to Kaleigh Turner Photography for the beautiful wedding images

Jovana is a sweet as can be, and I was honored she picked me for her bridal hair. It was so much fun and her bridesmaids kept me laughing all day long.

It was a hot and humid July day, but by looking at these pictures, you'd have no idea it was 90 degrees out. They all looked amazing and I'm so excited to share!

I have been waiting anxiously to share Paige and Dakotas wedding pictures! They have such a unique and beautiful style.

While doing Paige's trial run we realized we went to CTC together at the same time, but her Junior year and my Senior year! I knew we'd be a great fit for each other, and after she explained her bohemian style for her outdoor wedding, I could not wait!

Every. single. detail. WAS PERFECT!

Oh, my gosh take a look at the guys suites! Seriously perfect, great job Dakota! Ha!

I received the pictures today and have to blog about it, obviously, every picture is magazine worthy. Check out all of the gorgeousness below.

Thank you Paige, for having Sweetly Pinned Hair and Makeup be apart of your special day. Wishing you both all of the best!

Caitlin and I met a month prior to her December wedding and tried out a few different hairstyles to compliment her dress along with giving her the desired volume she craved. We didn't actually do the style at the trial run that she ended up wearing the day of. She knew what she wanted and was absolutely right! She chose to wear a simple yet gorgeous high bun. It was the perfect style for her big day, and boy, did she rock it! Is there anything better than a high textured bun? I think not. Ha!

Caitlin and her bridal party welcomed me as soon as I walked in, and let me use my creative freedom for their styles. One of the bridesmaids asked me for a "modern beehive" I was in heaven. I love when brides let their bridal party pick individual styles they want to wear, after all they do have to wear it all day! Either way its always fun getting to know a new group and form a bond. I am so grateful the Brauns recommended Caitlin to me. I felt like we were a perfect fit and I am so excited Caitlin and Adams new journey together.

Check out her gorgeous day below:

Congrats to Caitlin and Adam, Thank you for having Sweetly Pinned Hair be a part of your Big day!
