My first Indian Wedding!!

Oh my goodness I've been dying to do wedding hair for an Indian wedding and I finally had the chance. The bride's name is Kavita and she comes from an incredible family of very strong and very funny women! Everything about this ceremony was so enriched in culture and tradition. The night before the ceremony which would normally be the rehearsal dinner all the women in the party come together and get henna done on their hands. The bride's is especially intricate and includes her groom's name hidden somewhere in the design.It's so beautiful! I've always wanted to get henna but I never want to come off as a fraud!! (hahaha)

The day of the wedding the family comes together and performs a ritual of prayer with music and dance.Then all of the women help the bride get dressed in her wedding sari. Western women have nothing on Indian women when it comes to finding a wedding dress! They fly all the way to India to pick the fabric and then have it made there! And we thought going through racks was work!! (haha) Anyway her sari was a beautiful gold and red beaded ensemble( created by her aunt in India) that would make Kate Middleton's frock look like something from the bins of Fashion Bug! (no offense Kate)

I can't wait to share pics!! It was beautiful I was honored and I can't wait to show off the beauty of another culture!!

Chloe as Princess Grace

I had the pleasure of working with the beautiful Chloe who is an itty bitty spit fire with great taste!! She told me that she got more comments on her hair then she did her dress!! That's saying a lot because her dress was a gorgeous blush pink Vera Wang!! I hope you enjoy her hair as much as I do. I so enjoyed helping her bring out her inner "Princess Grace" So pretty!!

Perry and Shawn

I know I haven't been here in awhile. (so sorry) I've been up to my eyeballs in all things bridal! No complaints from me though I feel truly blessed to do what I do. Here is an example of one of the beautiful brides I had the pleasure of working with. Her name is Perry and she is old school glamour all the way!! One of my "DREAM TEAM" Pamela Lesch make-up artist extraordinaire brought out the inner goddess in Perry. Watch the DREAM TEAM work our magic. (click this link) http://vimeo.com/15861644

The Wise Kids

I'm so excited to be working on a small film called "The Wise Kids" here in Charleston! A great make-up artist friend of mine name Christien (who's incredible) got me the gig and I'm ecstatic.
Watch out Charleston because I'm getting ready to receive my oscar for best hair!!! (smile)

Jamila and Aaron

I have recently had the pleasure of working with an incredible couple named Jamila and Aaron Curry. For you football fans yes it is "the Aaron Curry" of the Seattle Seahawks! Jamila and I hit it off immediately and weren't a bit surprised to find out we shared the same birthday. Her family and friends are so funny and sweet and it made working with them an absolute pleasure! Not to mention a certain sweet 7 month old baby boy.

My girls Elizabeth Quinton and Juliet Jones were both on hand to make faces beautiful and capture every moment of Jamila and Aaron's perfect day.


The couple used Mindy Weiss of Beverly Hills "event planner extraordinaire" who turned Lowndes Grove into a beautiful tropical oasis of pink and orange. It was probably the best weekend of the summer and a great day to get married to the one you love!

CONGRATULATIONS
