Spring Wedding Season 2016 (Part 1)
I constantly get asked "When is Wedding Season"?
To me, "Wedding Season" never really ends, except for maybe the dead of winter, but even then, there are a few brides who brave the cold for a January or February wedding (I myself was one of those brides). I classify the seasons into two categories, Spring and Fall. Now that I finally have a couple weeks of downtime, I can share with you some highlights of my 2016 Spring Brides.
This year, Spring weddings started up with a bang at the end of March and a double wedding. I don't always have the space for two weddings in one day, but when "the stars align", or rather, the timeline aligns, I am able to squeeze in a second wedding.

First Wedding-
Bride- Abby
Venue-Neverland Farms
Photographer- 5 Petal Productions
Hair & Makeup (Airbrush)- Amberly at Structure HS
Abby was so much fun to work with. She is a beautiful young bride, a figure skater (MY CHILDHOOD DREAM) and sweet soul. After her trial, which we were able to coordinate with her bridal portraits, we scheduled an appointment for her first color session. We both were so excited to add a few balayage pieces in her hair to really add vibrancy and dimension to her wedding hairstyle. Even after her wedding, both she and her mom are regular clients at the salon. I am always thrilled to keep relationships with my brides and their families after their weddings.
Abby's Lazaro gown is from the Atlanta bridal boutique, Bridals by Lori and is every girls DREAM.
Second Wedding (March 26, 2016)
Bride- Leslie
Venue- White Oaks Barn, Dahlonega GA
Photographer- Barbara B. Covington Photography
Hair & Makeup (Airbrush)- Amberly at Structure HS
Leslie is a long time client of mine. I started doing her hair when she was in High School. I did her hair for proms, military balls and high school events, and I now have had the pleasure of doing her bridal hair and makeup. Her venue, one of my personal favorites in Dahlonega (they also have amazing owners and staff), White Oaks Barn is the picture perfect North Ga wedding spot for a rustic, barn wedding.
One of the things that has always impressed me the most about Leslie, is her relationship with her Mother. Much like my own, they are truly best friends and I think Barb really caught that in this photo below.
Her wedding day was perfect, despite the overcast and threat of rain. It's so important to remember that you can't control the weather, but you can control your outlook on the situation. And in the end, its all about the celebration of love and commitment and doing so with all of your closest family and friends.
