Style Me Pretty - Modern Bride

One of my favourite sources for "real wedding" inspiration has to come from Style Me Pretty!  So whenever I have the pleasure of seeing one of my former brides featured on the site I'm more than excited to share it w/ everyone!  Not only is it great publicity for me and my company but Style Me Pretty really does encompass the brides, styles and weddings I want to work on or be part of!  It sort of makes me feel "famous" for about a day lol!

Yesterday I saw a feature on one of my favourite brides from last year - Nathalie.  Her wedding was on July 6/13 and in all honesty it probably had to have been one of my favourite Saturdays last season b/c I got to work on not one but two gorgeous weddings w/ two friendly, warm and beautiful brides!

I wrote about Nathalie's wedding previously in another post when she shared some of her beautiful pictures w/ me so I won't bore you w/ all the details again lol!

For Style Me Pretty Canada Nathalie was featured under the "Modern Bride" section and I think that perfectly encapsulated her style.  She wanted something clean, classic, sleek and sophisticated w/ her hair and makeup and it worked perfectly not only w/ her dress but also w/ the whole look of the wedding.  I really like how her modern style was somewhat juxtaposed w/ the backdrop of The Distillery District which has a very old and historical feel to it.

Here's the full Style Me Pretty story if you're curious as well I've attached a few pics from the day that I didn't share before!  Thanks again Silverlight Photography for taking such beautiful pics of this beautiful couple!

One of the things I'm most excited about is that I get to work w/ Nathalie again for her friend's upcoming wedding in June!  Love referrals and seeing my brides again!

Featured On Style Me Pretty...AGAIN!

Look who's work is featured on Style Me Pretty Again...yes that's right little ol' me ;)...and guess what this time it's the main website not just the Canadian version!

Just a couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of working w/ an amazing bride Janine for her wedding day.  I did her Hair & Makeup in Toronto in her gorgeous loft (seriously I thought it was so amazing it almost made me want to live on the East side...almost ;) ) from there she traveled to Niagara where she had one of the most beautiful, rustic chic weddings at a winery I've ever seen.

Janine wanted a very fresh, low maintenance and almost undone look for her wedding...something that worked beautifully w/ the surroundings and her dress.  I kept her makeup super clean and light and played up her beautiful natural features w/ a very neutral eye, a glow to the cheek and a bit of nude/pink on the lips.

It was also important to Janine that her hair look natural and again almost undone..which believe it or not it's actually sometimes harder to create a beautifully undone but still finished look then really styled and polished. Especially when you have to consider she was traveling to Niagara b/c I had to make the hair look beautiful and soft but still last through all the travel and time.  To help create this look I handmade a set of custom clip-in extensions for Janine like I do for a lot of my brides.  It really is the best thing when you want to create a look of full, natural and gorgeous hair...that so many of us crave but naturally have unfortunately.

I should mention the pics on Style Me Pretty are mostly focused on the decor b/c it was Mimosa Flower Studio that submitted the story...and the flowers were gorgeous as you can see!  Also a big shout out to Nataschia Wielink for taking such beautiful pictures that day!

Here's some of my favs from Style Me Pretty and a few Janine shared w/ me that feature her a bit more ;)
