What a day for Lauren--sun shining, large, billowy clouds, slight breeze. It was a wedding day made for our beach-y bride.

Lauren was getting married at Mount Hope Farm in Bristol. It's  a perfect place for a bride who walked in and proclaimed as she sat in my chair, "I just got back from surfing and I feel great!"
Lauren looks like you might find her coming out of a surf shop in San Diego, getting ready to go catch some waves. She has this amazing long, sun-kissed blonde hair so I was pretty excited.
Lauren found our salon on another blog...our friends at Snap! Photography. Mariah and Trish had met us for a "Snap & Chat" series in February, where we transformed Trish into a 1920's glamazon.

So our sun streak finally ended last weekend...we knew it was too good to last forever! Our fabulous bride, Daria, was all smiles on her wedding day--she didn't seem to mind a bit. I guess given the past few weeks of New England weather, we really should be happy we went 8 for 8. And we all know what they say about a rainy wedding day (but don't ever mention it's "luckiness" to a bride if it happens to be sprinkling...please.)

After a week of solid rain, the skies cleared for our bride, Caroline. Our sun streak makes us 8 for 8...I guess we have to take weeklong bouts of miserable rain so our brides have beautiful days...no problem!

Caroline and her fiance, Rob, were having their wedding at Blithewold Mansion

Meet our other bride named Alison...there were two Alison's in Bristol getting married on 6.6.09! Lucky them...they both picked perfect days! Her gorgeous wedding party extended our wonderful weather streak to 6 out 6...come on, lucky 7's!

Alison Meyer was getting married at Mount Hope Farm. Mount Hope Farm is an amazing wedding venue. It's an expansive country setting in Bristol, located on the water. Alison's reception was in The Barn--and not the kind with pigs and chickens...check it out.

So I don't want to jinx this lucky little streak we have going on, but the New Leaf girls should run, not walk, to go buy some Powerball tickets. Five for five. Sun shining. Breeze blowing. Seventy degrees.  Maybe we'll start telling all our brides that not only will we transform them into (insert favorite supermodel name here), but we will also play God and perform meteorologic miracles on their wedding days.  Alison Berenback, our sweet and lovely bride, first arrived on Saturday saying she felt very nervous. I'd say this is very normal, given that she woke up realizing she was getting married. Not your average day. It didn't help that the weather looked a bit questionable (for New Leaf standards, of course). I kept promising Alison that Kelly Bates (for you Rhode Island-ahs out there) from Channel 10 SAID it was going to clear up.  Alison's wedding was at Linden Place, an outdoor garden venue here in Bristol.

To see Alison face light up when that sun peeked through our windows was priceless. Truly. Cheesy as it may sound, moments like this is why we love being part of a bride's special day. 
And I think we caught the moment the sun came out...
