A Grecian Goddess Floats on Through…
Posted on June 14, 2010 | (0) Comments
Theresa's wedding day at Linden Place was what people call a "Chamber of Commerce Day"--heavenly weather. Seemed fitting for Theresa...her dress was a Grecian goddess style gown that was so dreamy in a photo, we can only imagine was this long-legged beauty (she stood 5'11") looked like floating down the aisle toward her groom that day..
Grecian goddess hair means fantastic things for stylists--loose waves, ethereal texture, undone. Love it all.
Braids are big right now. The side braid is still a HUGE trend. I will preface this suggestion by saying, on the record, we love braids. Sincerely, we do. We rock them all the time at New Leaf. That being said, if you are a bride, just be careful. With Theresa, we incorporated a small, loose braid around her face to offer the Grecian feel, without screaming 2010. We all remember enormous, gigundo veils and french braids in the '80s right? Riiiiight.
P.S. Bridesmaids, go for the braid ladies, because you don't have to worry about staring at the photo on your mantle for the next 40 years. If Jennifer Aniston's doing it, so can you!
Theresa also had this fantastic sparkly comb and feather spray. Lots of brides bring hair ornaments--feathers, fancy combs, beautiful brooches, flowers. Confused on where to place them? We always ask, "Are you having a 'traditional' ceremony?" (The word 'traditional' is used very lightly, of course)...Does that seem like a weird question when discussing hair?
For most ceremonies, the bride stands on the left, with her RIGHT side exposed to her guests (and photographer). That being said, the hair ornament should go on the RIGHT side of your 'do. And well, because darn it, it just always looks so pretty in all the pictures from the ceremony. The important things, right;-)?
Thanks Theresa for letting New Leaf be part of your very special day! You and your mom were so sweet so stop by any time!
Stay tuned for lots more...
