Flutter Magazine Feature
We here at Team never tire of being a part of your special and meaningful life celebrations. It allows us to do what we love and we are incredibly grateful. Add to this features in magazines we adore and, well, we’re beyond delighted… every single time. Have a whirl at this issue of Flutter Magazine, where we styled the hair and makeup for sweet bride, Christine. A darling Santa Barbara wedding…
From Christine, “I was inspired by a combination of my love for Florence and Father of the Bride. I wanted rich, romantic hues paired with feminine and delicate touches. I also knew I wanted lots of flowers and candles. I envisoned a romantic, classy, intimate setting and Tory brought it to life.”

Martha Stewart Weddings Feature / The Style Issue
We are beside ourselves with this feature in the latest issue of Martha Stewart Weddings / The Style Issue! It was an honor to do hair and makeup for this gorgeous and joyful multi-cultural wedding; the bride, Hana, in a word…stunning. The couple’s story is one to behold…
It’s not surprising that Olu Ajijola, a cardiologist, and Hana Malek, then a trauma nurse, first met in an intensive care unit. It was 2009, and Olu, newly arrived in Los Angeles from Boston, came to Hana’s ICU to consult on a patient; he quickly found excuses to return to “check on him.” “I thought she was beautiful, and her eyes really struck me,” he recalls. The two had their first date three weeks later and were soon a couple.
Other events at an ER two years later turned out to be just as fateful. Hana had suddenly become ill and was taken by ambulance to a local hospital. “Her voice on the phone, scared and sounding poorly, was one of the hardest things I’ve ever listened to,” says Olu. He rushed to see her, and they exchanged a wordless hug. “It felt like an eternity,” says Hana. “We’d known we loved each other, but we hadn’t made the leap to feeling we wanted to end our lives together. That night started us on the path.”
The two wine and nature lovers found the perfect venue in the Vintage Ranch, 200 miles northwest of their home in L.A., with its views of rolling hills, olive groves, and vineyards… Few knew that Olu had carried that idea even further, engraving lines from Hana’s electrocardiogram into his ring to have her heartbeat always near.

Inspiring Arabic and Mexican Multicultural Wedding
In a most spectacular sharing of two cultures merging in wedded union, this bride and groom do it right. Seamlessly blending Mexican and Arabic traditions with culinary delights, special dances, music and-of course- style; love couldn’t help but nestle in.
Photographer Luna de Mare offers this lovely perspective, “Located along the Central Coast of California, Sunstone Villa & Winery in Santa Ynez is the perfect backdrop for the wedding of your dreams. The peachy hues of French limestone, and lush grape vines in the vineyard offer a beautiful landscape as a setting for an al fresco experience. Melva & Ali chose to incorporate both their cultures into a blended affair, featuring Mariachis and Arabic Dancers. Their Ceremony took place at the Villa’s two giant Oak trees, with cascading Florals and Olive leaves in front of their closest friends and family, with a nod to both cultures.”
See how this heart-filled celebration, featured on Style Me Pretty, delights the senses.
