Wedding Teasers!

I sometimes forget to tell you guys how lucky and blessed I am. Sometimes I think about my wedding day and remember just how much God loves us. We heard of how people had to cancel their wedding days, how some people's wedding venues were gone, yet I dont know how, but everything fell perfectly into place for us.

I was a bit stressed out wedding week... even though Hurricane Sandy came and took out our power for 10 days, it also gave me 5 days off of school (leading up to the wedding). It allowed me to prep things I needed to prep, spend extra time on things I was worried about, etc. Everywhere in the town our wedding was going to be in had no power, yet when we called the church, it had power (because they had just built underground power) and the venue was fine! The only hiccup was so minor, because I had ordered the centerpiece vases weeks ago because our local michaels didn't have 18 in stock, and it was scheduled to arrive the monday of the hurricane. Obviously by Thursday, it still hadn't showed up. So my good friend Mel and I decided to just go to Michaels and pick up any vases, because at that point, it didn't matter what type of vases we had as long as we had them! When we got there, there were EXACTLY 18 of the vases I needed.

Everything ran smoothly and perfectly because God's hands were on us... protecting us and loving us. We could not be more grateful.

We were also so blessed because we have one of the best photographers, Albert Cheung. He is personable, kind, and truly wants to understand what your vision is for the day. He was so easy to work with and really went out of his way for you. You see, our cinematographer lived in brooklyn and because of the gas shortage didn't have a way of getting out to our wedding site. So Albert DROVE out to brooklyn to pick her up and to come back to long island. He really is a gem and SUCH a talent, and I would highly recommend him for any photography needs. He's like a little chameleon with his work. Ok enough jabber... let me let the pictures tell you.

Here are just a couple of teasers for you, thanks to Albert!!












I can't wait to get the rest of the photos!

Bridal Hair Trial!

I'm so used to posting up trials of girls that I do, I totally forgot to post up pictures from my own bridal hair trial!!!! 

Some of you may know, I am opting to do my own makeup because I'm just so particular about the way my makeup looks. Even if everyone in the world thinks a certain look looks amazing on me, there is still a particular way I like to see my own makeup!! (so anal i know ha!) I know that my hair, although I can do it myself, can be a bit of a frustration on my wedding day.. so I knew I was going to get a hair stylist. 

Ever since before my sister's wedding, when my sister's friend got her hair done by this hairstylist.. about 4 years ago, I KNEW i wanted to book her. IMHO, she's one of the BEST! 

I booked Sachiko Yanese, who was originally trained in Tokyo and was a top hairstylist and makeup artist. Because she wanted to test her skills and she came on over to NYC and has been here for the past 15 years. I even had the honor of working side by side with her at on of my friend's weddings! Her upbeat and infectious personality, and positive attitude made this experience so easy and fun!

Here was the inspiration photo. I really wanted something that was romantic, loose and curly. I didn't want it to be too 'bun'-ish so I could take my hair down later on in the day and so I could put lots of hair  accessories in my head! 
so sorry, i don't have the source for this, i just screenshot it!
if anyone knows, please let me know so i can source it! 
And here is how my hair turned out. Omg I am in love. My friend is making hair pins for me, so I didn't have them on hand, but I will be wearing the feather for the reception [weegardens, etsy] and that headband fascinator [off saks] for pictures! (I also have a little top hat thing that I totally forgot to bring) 

[Also remember at a hair trial, she doesn't really use hairspray so she can keep changing up the hairstyle as needed!]

I loved how soft and free flowing my hair looked. I think it looks so romantical and perfect! I was so happy with the look! 

Because we had some extra time since I already was set on this hairstyle, I told her about our afterparty and how I wanted to look rockerchic haha! I also had this gorgeous headband that I wanted to try to use - so she had a ball bumpin' up my hair SO high and letting loose some curls! I loved this look, it was totally fun! She even gave me some extra pins and hair products to help me do my own hair for that night! 

If you are in the NY area and need your hair or makeup did, i would 10000% recommend using Sachiko. You can check out her website here :) 

And look for a vlog soon ;)
