Who: Mia
What: Bridal Hair & Makeup + Bridal Party
Photographer: Willow Rose Photography
Where: Santa Cruz, CA
FUN. So much fun!!! :) I enjoyed each and every single moment with Mia and her bridal party. Fun loving, no drama, full of silly moments, smiles, singing, dancing, and peacefulness and calm amidst groomsmen attire issues is what makes Mia and her girls so awesome in what could have been a crazy stressful morning wedding prep! I had a blast! Plus Mia's also an educator... so by default, she's cool :)

Before and After
Create braids and tease like crazy! :)
Wrap braids, adjust and layer, pin remaining curls in place
Place and pin GORGEOUS succulent hair comb into updo.
You guys, ohmygosh, I had never worked with succulents before... this thing was SOOOOOO beautiful. Mia's florist was Marialuisa from Succulently Urban if you're interested in checking them out :)
The succulent hair comb was heavy! Had to make sure it was pinned all the way and secured :)
As an aside:
LOOK WHAT MIA DID WITH HER BOUQUET AND HAIR COMB AFTER!!!
Genius.
Genius.
Genius.
