March 27: Laura

Flash back to March 2010.... as Laura and Jonathan head into their 7th month of marriage, we are proud to share a few pictures that Lovestruck Images sent our way! Mindy and Cara headed down to the gorgeous Pier 5 to help Laura and her ladies get ready! I love the simplicity of Laura's hair and her dainty hair pins. A little bling goes a long way! Fabulous bride and thanks to Katie at Lovestruck for the beautiful pictures! 

August 21: Nicole

How fabulous are these amazing photos of Nicole, her gals and her new hubby? Megan Beth did a fantastic job of capturing Nicole's beauty! I adore her wedding gown and if I were to get married all over again I think I would steal it from her! Absolutely stunning! To see more photos from Nicole's Annapolis wedding, check out Megan Beth's blog! It's loaded with a ton of eye candy from this flawless wedding! Thanks Nicole for having us be a part of your big day!

Ahhh....more emails from fabulous brides! Love to see these in my inbox! 

Up Dos for I Dos was incredible to work with for my wedding! The stylist I had, Mindy, was very professional and we had a wonderful time with her. She styled a total of ten ladies, including myself, and everyone loved how their hair looked. I was impressed that we had no issues with running late and the day ran seamlessly. I was very happy with my hair and it was exactly what I wanted. I requested something a bit different from my hair trial and Mindy was able to execute it beautifully. She was so wonderful that my sister immediately asked if she was available for her wedding in May. Overall, Up Dos for I Dos was great with correspondence, very professional, and very talented. I would highly recommend them for your wedding day.

Thank you for everything!!!

The best things in life ~  a few sentences from a happy bride and a few snapshots of the happy bride and her girls! Thanks Jill! 

Hi Ashley,

This email is long overdue, but I wanted to say a huge thank you for ALL of your help with my wedding hairdo's! Belen did a great job with my hair as well as my mom's and bridesmaids on my wedding day and finished ahead of schedule. She was very relaxed and easy to work with and had some great ideas for the girls who weren't sure exactly what they wanted. Everyone was really happy with their hair and all the styles lasted the whole night!

I also wanted to thank you for being so easy to work with throughout the whole planning process. You were always quick to respond and were very flexible. I especially appreciate your and Belen's patience with me at my first trial when I wasn't liking anything - I am so glad I came back for a second trial and found a hairstyle that I loved! I will definitely recommend you guys to all my friends getting married in the future!

I have attached a few pictures that show my hair as well as some of the bridesmaids' hair for you to see. Enjoy!

Thanks again,
Jill

June 5: Christine

On June 5th, Erica spent the afternoon in Baltimore to help Christine and her bridesmaids get ready! She provided both hair and make-up services for this warm summer wedding. Christine's ceremony and reception was held at the gorgeous Cloisters Castle. 

I loved Christine's color combination and her elegant style! Congrats Christine! We were so excited to be a part of your big day!

May 22: Kerry

Throw back to May...seems like forever ago for us! Wedding season was kicking off and Danielle and I headed to BWI to help Kerry and her super fun girls get ready for the big day! Amy Deputy captured the day perfectly! I throughouly enjoyed spending the afternoon with these girls as they were all unique and really wanted their personalities to glow with each hair and make-up look.

I was so happy with Ashley and Danielle. I hired Updos for my wedding on May 22nd. My 8 bridesmaids, Mom, flower girl, and I all received star treatment. Ashley and Danielle came promptly to the hotel where we got ready and were so friendly. The women in my party are all of unique style, and it was important to me that they felt just as beautiful as I did. I told them that they could style their hair and makeup any way they liked. They are the most important women in my life- I wanted them each to shine rather than look identical to each other. Ashley and Danielle worked with everyone to give them just the look they wanted. I was able to have a trial with Ashley and Danielle before my wedding where we tried out different looks- I am glad I did. I showed Ashley a picture of a hairstyle that I liked, and she made it work for my hair length and my veil. We were so relaxed and calm and truly enjoyed the entire experience. I received tons of compliments on my hair and makeup and it really made my pictures spectacular. Even the false eyelashes (something I had never indulged in!) made a huge difference. I would recommend Ashley and team for any occasion where you need to look your best!

Thanks again,
Kerry
