AMANDA & STEVEN'S WEDDING AT JULIA MORGAN BALLROOM


Amanda + Steven from Phillip V on Vimeo.


Amanda came to me with many photos and ideas for styling her hair for her wedding day, I'm so glad she did because we were able to incorporate most of the styles she liked (low chignon, lots of volume in the front with bangs all swept back, lots of textures on the side and in the back) into the final design.  Amanda's hair is naturally very straight and super thick,  I had to give her hair lots of curls in order to create the details that she liked.  Her hair lasted beautifully despite being in the rain and through lots of shaking and dancing (as seen in the video).  I gave her burgundy highlights the week before her wedding to make the details of the style more dimensional instead of looking like one dark bundle of hair. I always recommend dark haired brides to consider getting highlights before the wedding for that reason.  
Because Amanda is used to wearing makeup on a daily basis, she wanted a more dramatic look for her wedding.  I blended grays and plums for a smokey effect that suits Amanda's skin tones. Amanda's bridal party and herself were all very happy with the looks I created for them and I couldn't be happier for her and Steven.  Congratulations Amanda!  I can't wait to see photos of this wedding from talented Kevin Chin of Kevin Chin Photography.
