Pretty Little Things: Saab Beautiful

Let's just get right to the good stuff, Elie Saab Couture:

Yes some of these dresses are a bit "barely there if you dare" but most of all they exude  light, airy and simply pretty feeling. I love the colors and the fact that these can work a red carpet as well as the aisle (for the right bride of course).

Parties: Team JasLo -Taste The Rainbow

As I mentioned in a previous post, I met Jasmine by chance. She is an amazing photographer and an even more amazing person. After our first encounter (networking) I swore that I would not rest until we would have the opportunity to work together professionally. Well my wish came true...kinda. You see, when Jasmine and I met, she was almost at the tail end of planning her rainbow wedding to Aloysius (a totally awesome dude LOL). And to my surprise she pulled JunePlumm Events in to assist her in the final stages of planning. From the first planner/client meeting I knew we were going to have a home run. I mean look how well this rainbow wedding came together:

I know I am a big sap and cry at EVERYones wedding but at this one in particular I was boo-hoo'ing like a 2 day old. The love that was in that room was thick and you couldn't help but feel like you have a part of their lives for decades. I know Jasmine and Aloysius do not need luck but I wish them luck anyway. They are truly meant for each other and I see nothing but longevity in their future. LOVE you guys!

And as usual no wedding is complete without the support from an amazing team of professionals to help bring everything together:

Planning: Hair Comes The Bride

How are you going to wear your hair for your wedding day?

Long Soft Curls

Curly Natural Updo

Sexy Loc Updo...

Shoulder length with soft waves...

Slicked Back Tight Chignon

Sassy Bold Chignon

Short simple and sweet bob framing your face...

Updo with a twist (or two)

Whatever style you choose it is important to consider a few things:

• What style dress are you wearing? You don't want your hair to compete with your dress. Too much detail at the top of the gown means you may want to stay away from a super busy hairdo that hangs way past your shoulder covering all the gown fablulousness. Keep it simple and sexy.

• What is the style of the wedding? Are you having a throwback Harlem Renaissance style wedding? Then not only your dress should look the part but you hair as well. Keep it all in the same era.

• Where are you getting married? If you are getting married outside by the beach where it is super windy, that means there will be mist in the air. That means if you do not have that snap-back-to-it hair then a long spiral hairdo may NOT be for you.

• What style looks best on you. For your wedding you should be the best YOU that YOU can be. This means if you can rock a mean ponytail then RAWK it. Just polish it up so it compliments the dress, the location and the wedding style.

• Do you sweat or "glisten": If you perspire after saying supercalifragilisticexpialidocious then put your hair up and back. #ThatIsAll

Discuss all of these important factors with your stylist before your event. This way on the day of the BIG day you will all be on the same page and not struggling to figure it out at the last minute.
