By Catherine M|2016-11-30T14:13:22-07:00November 30th, 2016|Featured, Featured Press, Real Wedding|

Begin with a peaceful and refreshing blush and white color story, add to it an always beautiful Sunstone Winery backdrop and the most adorable puppy (because…of course!) and you’ve got a sneak peek into our latest feature, photographed by Elizabeth Messina, on Wedding Chicks.

From La Fete Weddings: As the bride was finishing her final touches with TEAM Hair & Make Up and the girls finished stepping into their gowns the bride was given her beautiful bouquet. Annette carried a lush hand-tied bouquet comprised of her favorite flower – fresh peony blooms in shades of blush and white. The bouquet was designed in a classic, romantic and elegant style and coordinated perfectly with her Monique Lhuillier gown.

Effortless Bridal Beauty

By Catherine M|2016-11-30T14:11:42-07:00November 27th, 2016|Real Wedding|

Effortless beauty never goes out of style. And what makes it so, better than the expression of pure joy in the form of free-flowing smiles and tender love? We think this is the epitome of beauty that portends not only a lovely wedding day, but an admirably wonderful marriage, as well. How sweet are these two…

And the stunning bride in the glow of love…

Darling!

The Knot feature / Chic Rustic California Wedding

By Catherine M|2016-11-30T14:14:44-07:00November 21st, 2016|Featured, Featured Press, Real Wedding|

When the cascading splendor of the West Coast beckons, amidst the rustic yet chic Spanish revival charm of The Bacara Resort, always answer… Behold the magic of modern and traditional blended enchantment. Here’s more from this lovely feature on The Knot,

“Having grown up in Los Angeles, we knew we wanted to highlight the West Coast’s splendor,” Ivette says. Bacara Resort & Spa in Goleta, California, was the perfect place to start, with its dramatic views of the Pacific Ocean, luxe amenities and beautifully appointed event spaces. The day began with an outdoor ceremony on an oceanside bluff, where Ivette and Alberto exchanged heartfelt vows, framed by romantic, garden-inspired arrangements of hydrangeas and roses displayed atop pillars of stone.

Martha Stewart Weddings Feature / The Style Issue

By Teamhairandmakeup|2016-11-05T14:35:33-06:00October 5th, 2016|Featured, Real Wedding, Spotlight, Uncategorized|

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

By Teamhairandmakeup|2016-09-28T11:59:58-06:00September 28th, 2016|Featured, Real Wedding, Spotlight|

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.
