Winter weddings hold a special kind of charm, transforming the natural beauty of the season into a celebration filled with magic and wonder. We were truly honored to experience this firsthand at Penny and Thomas’s enchanting winter wedding—a day full of cozy warmth, the crisp scent of winter romance, and an atmosphere that was both joyous and unforgettable.
Every detail of the day left us in awe! The decor and ambiance were thoughtfully curated to reflect the elegance of the winter season. The venue dazzled with rich floral arrangements in deep reds, purples, and lavender, creating a romantic, storybook-like setting. Bridesmaids complemented the scene beautifully in mix-and-match dresses within the same color palette, adding depth and cohesion to the day’s design.
Penny was a vision of timeless beauty in her strapless bridal gown, featuring delicate 3D floral embroidery that evoked the grace of a winter fairytale. We were thrilled to bring Penny and her bridal party’s hair and makeup visions to life. For Penny, we embraced a glowing, warm aesthetic to complement the crisp winter air. A palette of deep blush tones and bold lipstick added contrast to her fair complexion, creating a radiant yet refined look. Her bridal party followed a similar warm, cohesive style, ensuring everyone shone with elegance.
Incorporating her Asian heritage, Penny’s hair was styled in a romantic half-updo adorned with a traditional tasseled hairpiece. This thoughtful detail added a layer of cultural significance and whimsical beauty to her overall look, making it uniquely hers.
The seamless fusion of warm decor, cool winter air, and heartfelt moments culminated in a winter wedding day that radiated love, beauty, and magic. Every element came together flawlessly, leaving us with memories—and photos—that perfectly captured the enchantment of Penny and Thomas’s special day.
We are truly grateful to have been part of this unforgettable celebration. It’s moments like these that remind us why we love what we do!
Love,

They did a beautiful, timely job on the wedding hair and makeup for me (the bride) plus all of my bridesmaids and both mothers of the bride/groom. Everyone looked like the most gorgeous versions of themselves. Would recommend them to anyone having their wedding in Charlottesville!” – Penny
