Going Vintage....

We see all different types of dresses and styles every single weekend! We see new designer dresses. We see wedding dresses that were originally shreds and were remade to a one of a kind dress. We see dresses that haven't changed and that have been passed down through generations. We see vintage dresses! Even though we are the hair and make-up end of the wedding biz we love to see dresses! Ideally we get to see "the dress" when we meet our brides at the trial so we can help create the perfect hairstyle. We never want the hair and make-up to take away, we want it to compliment the dress!


I love these promo cards made especially for Retropolitan in Ellicott City, MD. We had a lot of fun teaming up with Rissa and Nathaniel of Balance Photography! Our model was great and she glamed out the 1950's dress! I adore the birdcage veil. We are seeing these every time we have a trial night. There are so many variations and Retropolitan has a great collection! Clearly we went above and beyond for the hair and make-up. We wanted to do something fun and outside the box. We made it a perfect look for a Glam the Dress shoot! The flowers were designed by Wessel's Florist!
Fun fact: The model has a full head of extensions pinned in. She's really a brunette!
