The Starbucks run has made more than one wedding morning run late and I have seen it with my own eyes 👀

Designate a coffee person who is NOT a bridesmaid and have it waiting when glam starts. Caffeinated and on time. That is the goal ☕

Blow dryers. Curling irons. Steamers. Makeup lighting. Phone chargers. Coffee makers. We are plugging in A LOT on a wedding morning 🔌

Someone needs to know where that breaker box is. Trust me on this one!

Nobody wants jellyfish tentacles framing their face in their wedding photos 🪼

Too long and they get heavy and drag straight fast. A little trim morning of keeps everything light lifted and perfect. I have been cutting hair for 20 years. I promise I got you!

Your getting ready space matters more than most brides realize. Natural light makes every photo stunning, gives your glam team room to work and sets the whole tone for the morning 🪟

The morning runs so much smoother when everything is handled before glam arrives.

Extensions washed and dried. Hair washed and air dried. Makeup free skin. Dress steamed. Vows written (you would be surprised how often this one comes up!)
Details boxed for the photographer.

Your bridesmaids are there to help — delegate!

We love happy tears but puffy eyes mid glam is not the goal.
Gifts and special notes the night before means you walk in fresh faced and ready. Those tears are coming either way.
Let’s just save t

Incredible green eyes and that perfect dress?!? Name a better combo 👌🏻

👰🏼Thank you Kira fair having us today

And to Ana Duran | MAKEUP ARTIST + EDUCATOR you are a gem and I love when I get to work next to you 🤍🤍

Natural curl will always have a special place in my heart🤍

This texture is so uniquely hers and that is exactly why we leaned into it. Your curls are not something to fight on your wedding day. They are something to show off. And with humidity doing what it does, they are coming back whether you want them to or not 😅
You might as well make them the whole look.

A high piled updo, face frame curls everywhere and a windy rainy day outside that this hair did not even flinch at.

Megan’s hair was not going anywhere and we made sure of it 👌🏻

A dream team wedding morning with the absolute GOATS in Edmonton
‘s bridal beat never misses!



➰Curly hair is its own beast and I love every second of working through it. The process is longer, the prep matters more and when it all comes together it is so worth it.

The team at were so incredibly accommodating and made sure everything ran so smoothly from start to finish — the best kind of venue to work in 🤍

And ‘s florals were absolutely unmatched as always🌷🪷🌸

All the little details you saw here? That’s exactly what we get into in a 1:1 — come hang out with me sometime! What do you think? Should I run a glam wave class? 👇

Some days feel less like work and more like hanging out with your girlfriends and Monday at was exactly that 👯‍♀️👯‍♀️👯‍♀️

The energy in that room was so fuuun!!! These girls are so excited to grow and it shows — that kind of enthusiasm makes teaching so easy.

We took the classics and turned them up a notch this time. Grad season is coming and we wanted everything to feel a little more fun, a little more party — perfect for the bridesmaid who wants to move and the bride who’s there to have a good time 🪩

Prep, product, extensions, locking it all back — we covered it all.

Stay tuned for look two because Barbie princess fantasy bun is coming and you are not ready 👸🏼✨

👇 Grad season is almost here — what look are your clients asking for most right now?

Private class day with the team! & it was such a good one 🖤

Came in and did what we always do! Start with the basics, build the toolkit and then let everyone loose on whatever they wanted to do on their models. That’s always when the magic happens.

We covered a lot today but we picked this slick back half up. One of the trickiest looks to really nail, getting it soft and shaped with that clean twist at the top? That takes practice and we made sure everyone got plenty of it this afternoon.

To our last minute model .bandura who showed up so last minute for us! You are an absolute angel and you saved the day!🤍

And to thank you for lending us your space — an absolute dream, thank you so much!

To and your whole team — what a fun day, you guys were so great

👇 What’s the one look you want to perfect before wedding season hits?

You know that feeling when the photographer posts reception pics and she looks exactly how you left her? 👌🏻 That. Every time.
m.couch you were the most gorgeous bride! Thank you for trusting me and being such a BABE!

Relaxed glam waves, both sides away from the face, cute little face frame on the tucked side and completely locked in. That’s the goal every single time.

Heading into this weekend we have two classes where I always cover keeping those face frame pieces exactly where you put them.

Drop a 🖤 if you want in on those secrets!
Winnipeg and Vancouver girls — should we come to you? 👀
