Samantha had always dreamed of being a princess on her wedding day. Her family on the other hand had different ideas. I had to “show” the family that the figure-hugging gown they were dreaming of was not Samantha’s dream. We found an Alita Graham princess ball gown that gave Sami that princess feel she was looking for. After Lindsay and Raychel gave Samantha the “princess bride look” updated with a braided hair side chignon and fresh, dewy makeup, I added a few accessories to complete her bridal blueprint.
The simple long veil by Malis Henderson was placed at the base of Samantha’s head transforming her into a dramatic princess bride.
Lindsay created a playful, modern, and sophisticated up-do by combining braids fitting close to Samantha’s head and loose curls in the back. Her look was complete with the addition of sparkling hair jewelry by Maria Elena.
Single drop crystal earrings from Cheryl King added even more sparkle!
What you missed on the show!
In Sami’s bouquet, I added family brooches and heirloom jewelry to add sparkle and bring in the tradition of Samantha’s family.
