Our 10 Favorite North + Central Alabama Venues

There are so many venues out there it’s HARD to choose! Well we’ve been to a LOT so we feel we have some insider insight and wanted to share these details with you. This list is in no particular order. All 10 are equally amazing . I will say this though… if the venue you’re hoping to see is not LGBTQ+ friendly or includes the plantation in their SEO well then you might as well expect to be disappointed because it’s NOT here . That simply doesn’t align with our core values and there’s far better places that do! So let’s get to it!

Buzzwords : Searching For YOUR Ideal Look

There are SO many inspiration photos out there & it can be daunting to say the least. Too commonly do we hear from clients that they “just couldn’t find their style” or “didn’t know what to search” so they … gave up. Took what they could find & assumed that was all they could possibly get from the internet. What if it was easier? HINT: It is! With the right search words.

Constructing Your Perfect Wedding Day Beauty Timeline

Keeping all these thing in mind & you’ll be set for a perfect day. Ultimately listen to the guidance of your artist. They are the pro & you hired them for a reason. Don’t try to rush or squeeze & instead the method behind their time. Confused or curious? Ask questions! We’re more than happy to shine a light.

Wedding Weekend in Review ( 3/26/22-3/27/22)

Her vibes were “dark Snow White” or “dark princess”… just think if Middle Earth, Disney & a dash of Twilight had a baby. YUP! That’s the vibe. She pulled it off beautifully in her Maggie Sottero dress & I can’t wait to see the images back from Amandalyn Photography. Everything was simply magical.

Busy, Busy, Busy

Last weekend was in a word : BUSY! We had so many wonderful things going on & how baffling is it to think that it’s only March. Feels like it should be a much busier season. This weekend consisted of 3 weddings & 5 trials !

Check out our latest publication with I Do Y’all HERE. Feel free to skip to page 78 if you don’t want to go through it all! It’s a bit Greek mythology & a bit Phantom of the Opera vibes but 100% ethereal edgy magic.

Let's Talk : Do I NEED Hair Extensions

There’s nothing wrong with trying a style first without extensions but if it’s not as full, long, detailed or dimensional as the photo or what you’d like don’t automatically blame the stylist. Discuss your options. I think of designing a hairstyle as a collaborative effort as we navigate from point A to point B. Not everyone is going to take the same route & some routes aren’t made for you. That’s ok! Have the discussion to see what route will get you where you want to go.

Booking Beauty Vendor Timeline

Congrats you’re engaged! You have the venue. You have the date. You even have your rentals, photographer, videographer, and decorations. But what about beauty? There are some vendors who understandably come later in the booking process but the exact “when” is always up for debate. There’s a lot of (mis)information about how far out you should be contacting your glam squad. Well, fortunately for you this hairstylist is here to spill the tea so you don’t miss out.
