back of the dress and my necklace,
but more importantly looked romantic
and showed off my length.”

SEPTEMBER 8, 2010 • MANCHESTER, VT
“I asked my stylist to curl small sections
of hair at a time. She curled them
very tight and then separated them a
bit to create a ‘loose’ look before the
ceremony.”

Ashley Bertolini
JUNE 26, 2010 • SOMERSET, NJ
“I wanted something side-swept and
romantic. I fell in love with my custom pink
crystal Thomas Knoell hair comb because
it matched the pink crystals on my dress.”

“I wanted to walk
down the aisle with
‘big’ hair and flowers
instead of a veil. My
hairstylist did exactly
this and I had so
many compliments!”

JULY 4, 2010
WOODLAND PARK, NJ
“I wanted something low,
but off my neck and classic.
I loved how the headpiece
fit perfectly on top of the
updo.” Photos by Millie B Photography,
Jennifer Lewis
JULY 10, 2010
SAN DIEGO, CA
“I loved how my stylist,
Jeffery Compton, tried
putting my orchid on
either side of my hair and
made sure I was happy
with the placement of my
low, curly bun. Placement
makes a huge difference
in pictures!”

MAY 1, 2010 • NEW YORK, NY
“I'm not an updo type of girl, but I wanted to look
special. I thought this wavy style, which was coaxed into
soft spirals and pinned up on one side, was the perfect
compromise. It was feminine but contemporary and it
complemented the asymmetry of my tulle-skirted gown.”

JUNE 5, 2010 • MASSAPEQUA, NY
“I wanted something soft and flowing with a
bit of elegance. I couldn’t have been happier
with my hairstylist. She made me look like a
princess, but I was still very ‘me.’”

JUNE 5, 2010 • STROUDSBURG, PA
“I chose this style because I wanted to wear my hair down.
A headband and bobby pins provided just enough sparkle
without overdoing it after I removed my veil.”

Sofia Androni Hatzimihalaki
SEPTEMBER 4, 2010 • CHIOS, GREECE
“I wanted something elegant, so I chose a Spanishinspired gown and an updo. I wore some jewelry on
the right side to add a touch of luxury.”

GARFIELD, NJ
"I didn't want
a traditional
updo. I wanted
something loose
and fun, without
worrying about
it falling after an
hour.” Photos by Sharon

SEPTEMBER 26, 2010 • NEW YORK, NY
“My hairstylist smoothed out my
naturally curly hair and gave me soft
curls that stayed in place all day. I
usually have to fight with them to
stay put, but I didn't have to fix my hair
once!” Photos by Danny, Duet Photography, duetwedding.com; Hair

STIRLING, NJ
“I have fine hair, so I added
some natural hair extensions for
fullness. I loved the volume on
top—it was just enough to look
different, but not too much of
a ‘Snooki pouf.’”Photo by Jose Reyes,
“I did not want a classic
updo, so I opted for a
half-up style that was
simple yet elegant and
romantic.” Photo by David &

“I asked my stylist
for a low bun, so he
made an intricate
design, interlacing
and overlapping
different portions of
my hair, creating an
almost flower-type of
bun in the back.
It came out perfect.”

JULY 4, 2010 • RICHMOND, VA
“I have long, straight hair and wanted the complete
opposite for my wedding. I thought my birdcage veil
needed a soft, classic hairdo to accompany it, so I asked
my stylist to give me a tidy pile of curls for my wedding.
It stayed looking fresh the entire afternoon and evening!”

Jayne Nicoletti
MARCH 21, 2010 • WESTBURY, NY
“I wanted my curls to look shiny, smooth and wavy.
I also wanted my hair to be classic; nothing too elaborate.
I felt it was important for the pictures to transcend time.”
