• Vintage-Inspired: Fingerwaves are a fitting homage to the Golden Era of Hollywood and very romantic.

• High-Fashion: It’s all about shape. This season, a strong geometric shape is softened with rough textures; micro crimping is a great avenue to marry editorial with bridal. While high-fashion, this stylish bride stills seeks elegance. |
