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.

HILARY DUFF'S WEDDING UP-DO

Pop star and actress Hilary Duff married pro hockey player Mike Comrie in a lavish ceremony in Santa Barbara on 8/14.  I love her bouffant hairstyle, it complemented her Vera Wang gown perfectly.  Her soft makeup suited her skin tone and casted a beautiful glow.  I was also impressed by her choice of flowers for her bouquet, pink and peach dahlias (never imagine celebrity would pick dahlias), which seems so casual yet sweet at the same time.

KELLY & LOUIS'S WEDDING

I had the pleasure of beautifying Kelly for her wedding day and we had so much fun.  Kelly had just moved to the states and had chosen San Francisco as her destination wedding spot.  She wasn't your typical bride who knew exactly how she wanted to look on her wedding day.  Instead, she wanted me to design a look for her, which I was more than happy to.  I started off by asking her what she didn't like and through this process of elimination, I was able to create a look that she loved.

The Wedding of Elaine & Edmond

When Elaine's sister in law first contacted me about being Elaine's stylist for her wedding day a month before the wedding, she had already warned me, "Elaine never wears makeup and she's just had a haircut so her hair is quite short. But she would like an up-do and very, very natural makeup." I took the advice to heart and gave her a very natural look, without using any shimmer to the eyes but opted for natural highlights throughout her face. I dusted a highlighter on top of her cheekbones, brow bones, bridge of her nose and chin. I'm glad that she and the groom were both very satisfied with the results.

Wedding Day Nails

Many brides love to get a manicure and pedicure for their wedding day. But too often we see the same old French manicures. I'm a huge fan of nail art and gel nails so I figured I'd post some photos to inspire brides to try doing something special for their wedding day. Nail art or gel nails doesn't have to be unnatural, in fact, one of my favorite design is gel French manicure with one rhinestone placed along the white edge. There are many, many designs that are appropriate for wedding day. A beige polish with white lace design looks beautiful against an ivory gown. I also recommend gel nails because it lasts so much better than regular manicures and stays very shiny. Gel nails are not much different from acrylic nails, technicians may tell you it's different but gel IS a type of acrylic, it's liquid acrylic so it's softer and easier to remove.
