Spring has a way of bringing life back into everything—the soft green of budding trees, the fresh scent of the air, and the gentle warmth of a breezy April day. But when royal blue makes its entrance, the scene transforms into something truly magical. That’s exactly what happened at Sam and Reid’s wedding at Castle Hill Cider. At first glance, you could see the bridesmaids’ royal blue dresses standing out beautifully against the lush greenery, creating a visual harmony that was impossible to miss.
And just when you thought the color palette couldn’t get any more enchanting, delicate touches of lavender made their appearance. Soft, calming, and elegant, lavender added a gentle contrast to the bold royal blue and vibrant florals that were scattered throughout the day.
Everywhere you looked, the eye was met with a stunning mix of pinks, purples, yellows, and oranges—flowers that not only added pops of color but brought life and joy to every corner of Castle Hill Cider. The vibrant florals paired with the fresh greenery made the entire celebration feel like a springtime dream.
Sam was absolutely radiant in her intricately embroidered bridal gown. The backless, sleeveless design highlighted her graceful figure, while the fine detailing of her dress added a timeless elegance.
Her makeup was soft and glowy, enhancing her natural beauty with subtle highlights, a gentle blush, and a soft neutral lip—creating a radiant, effortless look. We styled her hair into a low, elegant bun with delicate waves framing her face, giving a romantic, timeless feel. Every detail, from her hair to her earrings to her makeup, was thoughtfully designed to bring her bridal vision to life.
Our team at Charlottesville Wedding Hair and Makeup had the joy of doing bridal hair and bridal makeup for Sam and her entire bridal party. We take the time to listen to our bride, understand her ideas and vision, and help her achieve exactly what she imagines for her big day. Every curl, every wave, every touch of glow is crafted with care and attention, ensuring she—and her bridal party—feel confident, radiant, and truly special. Seeing their smiles and the happiness in their eyes is exactly why we do what we do—it’s pure magic.
The combination of royal blue, lavender, lush greenery, and vibrant florals didn’t just create a stunning color palette—it set the tone for a wedding that felt both elegant and fun. Walking through the day, you could feel it: green for spring’s freshness, royal blue for bold sophistication, lavender for calm beauty, and every flower adding a joyful vibrancy. It was a harmonious celebration of color, love, and life.
Sam and Reid’s wedding was unforgettable—not just for the breathtaking décor or the perfect spring weather, but for the moments of joy, laughter, and connection that made the day truly special. And we feel so lucky to have been part of it, doing what we love most: listening to our bride, bringing her vision to life, and helping her and her bridal party look and feel their absolute best.
