Laguna Cliffs Resort with Gavin Wade Photographers and Ruth Wang

I blog often, maybe not often enough, and see so many photos of our gorgeous brides! Today I had a hard time narrowing down my favorites of this beauty. Gavin Wade photographers did an amazing  job of capturing the love on this August day. At the Laguna Cliffs Resort, Ruth Wang orchestrated a fabulously ruffled affair.

DV Jen arrived in the afternoon to give the bride a classic, natural look that would carry her from the hot summer afternoon into the sizzling evening.

*Gabrielle’s hair was pulled back effortlessly into a low bun with just enough height to show off her beautiful face.

*The perfect accent was the simple flower she picked out from B Bride at our Costa Mesa location.

*Her makeup was natural looking although with the perfect coverage and flawless finish. The eye makeup was cool with a light smoke that looked amazing in color and black and white photography.

Here are a few of my favorites…

Timeless memories of your big day/ help a bride in need/Donate your dress

Wedding season is upon us and soon all those gorgeous gowns will be cleaned, then packed away in boxes forever. New brides will hold on to their dress, cherishing memories from the big day! Some hope that one day she may pass it down to a daughter of her own.

Let’s be real for a moment, what are the odds in 20+ years that dress will be even close to fashionable? Most brides-to-be are excited for the shopping experience and having a gown of her own. The dress packed away in the attic is not much use to anyone as it’s emotional and monetary value depreciate.

Why not see your dress displayed every day as a hand painted work of art and give the gown to a bride in need?

 Commemory Fine Art

The wedding is just one day, but the memory and the dress can last forever with heirloom-quality paintings that serve as decor at the wedding and home decor for the bride & groom, parents, bridal party & guests that will last forever. 

Commemory Fine Art will hand paint your wedding dress & love story with a uniquely textured and layered process so you will truly feel the experience.

No June gloom here on this gorgeous day at the Hyatt Huntington Beach. Wendy Dahl effortlessly coordinated another wonderful wedding. Jim Kennedy Photographers was there to capture the “Pretty in Pink” affair.

Jeanne’s gorgeous updo was the perfect choice for her bold statement necklace and stud earrings.

Summer Love at the Ayres Manhattan Beach with Figlewicz Photography

Saturdays in July mean that wedding season is in full swing and what a beautiful day it was to spend in Manhattan Beach at the Ayres. Figlewicz Photography captured the beauty of the day and the party well into the summer night. 

DV Dana arrived bright and early to the Ayres in Manhattan Beach.

Josie asked for an intricate up-do for her bridal hair style.

 

DV Dana made Josie’s makeup classic yet modern with a hint of color.

Josie chose a partial crystal headband that featured an accent piece on one side. 

Even as Josie danced the night away her hair and make up looked amazing! Thanks DV Dana!

 

A special thank you to Figlewicz Photography and the Ayres Manhattan Beach

Say “I Do” to hair extensions on the wedding day!

One of these pictures is not like the other!

Can you tell which brides is wearing clip-in hair extensions?

I don’t think so!

 

 

 

 

There are many benefits to wearing clip-in extensions on the wedding day. They can provide fullness and length, allowing you to have the bridal hair of your dreams without the expense and commitment of traditional extensions.

The natural extension hair hold curl better than most of our own hair. There is no commitment with the clips-ins as you can use them when you want for a playful night out. The best benefit is there is no maintenance. 

Consult with your Design Visage artist at your Preview to see if they are right for you!
