Fairy Tale Weddings: Soft Texture

Texture takes center stage this bridal season. According to Marek Hartwig, owner and bridal stylist at Marek Bridal in Chicago, and Artistic Director at Frank Gironda Salon & Day Spa in Wheaton, Illinois, this bridal season can be broken down into three categories:

In order to evoke this in 2012, let the waves transcend into a more relaxed texture, keeping it fresh and not too costume. Using a heavier, stoned headband balances the look to portray a true vintage bride.
