Wedding Updo #5, Michael Anthony Salons
For Laurel's fifth wedding updo, we traveled to the north side of Chicago to visit one of the four Michael Anthony Salons.

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.
