Don't be fooled by the casual and soft look -- every strand was thought out and carefully pinned.

Any of you who know Modern editor and bride-to-be, Laurel Smoke, know she's no shrinking violet. So when the creative director from Salon 1800 used the words "big" and "bold" in her e-mail, we knew Laurel would have to check it out.
