As many of you know, finding a hair stylist and make-up artist was the hardest part of planning a wedding 300 miles away. Here is my post about my trials so you can see what went into my wedding day hair/make-up.
My mother, mother-in-law and I got our hair and make-up done at the Stephen & Burns Aveda salon in Burlington, VT the morning of the wedding. We had a really nice time and I was thrilled with the final product. First I’ll share the hair — Britney did my hair and she was so patient and sweet.

Oh my gosh your hair is so long! You looked so pretty!
Do you mind sharing how was the brooch converted into a hairpin? I’ve got some vintage jewelry that I’m looking to modify.
Hi Dahlia — sure thing. I’ll dedicate a post to this, but basically, the accesories person at Mark Ingram’s Bridal Atelier slipped a “converter hair comb” onto the pin so it could still be used as a pin is I wanted.
Good post! I’m also planning to convert my great-grandmother’s brooch into a hair. And am planning a wedding from hundreds of miles away: you’re right! hair/make-up are by far the most challenging things to book.
Nice! I like beehive looks since I will look bald in the front if I don’t add a little height to it but yours look great on you!
Your hair looks gorgeous and your mom is too cute! It looks like you all had fun 
[...] my hair was finished (see previous post) Veronica, from the Stephen & Burns Aveda Salon, began working on my make-up. I was so happy [...]
