Another Bride, Another Wedding

Don't we all just love brides, weddings, bridal photos, etc etc? Well, most of us do... Me thinks so. :)

Last month I had another bridal appointment. The thing I love about these appointments is I get to see me amazingly talented highschool friend and make-up artist Yeliz at most of these appointments. :) She was once again appointed the make-up artist for the same bride.

Anyways, to the point! My bride wanted a very very plain hijab style, similar to her cousins... which was also styled by me last year. So it was a basic up-do with the veil up high. To be honest, plain is the way I like it most. For me, it's gotta be plain or drapey. :) Then again, everyone has their own taste, so what can you say?

Anyhow, her photos are now available, so I chose a few to share with you all...

May Allah grant them happiness in both worlds... May they be for each other, what they want/expect from each other. Ameen!

Wedding Season

Contrary to other parts of the world, wedding season in Australia is at the end-beginning of the year. Since the summer season (believe me, we are burning in the heat.. but I love summer (irrelevant, I know :) but too bad)) and summer holidays start at the end of the year, weddings take place every Friday-Saturday-Sunday for around 2-3 months. This is one of the main reasons I have not been able to blog regularly for the past 2 months. I am very busy at this time of the year.

If I remember correctly, for the past 5 weeks, almost every Friday-Saturday-Sunday I have been busy styling hijabs for brides, bridesmaids, and maids of honour. I do love and enjoy hijab styling, but due to other work it just becomes overwhelming at times like this. On top of all this there have been a couple of eid festivals where I had a stall... but that's a totally different topic... I will touch on it in a future post... maybe... :)) All I can say is that I have not been getting proper sleep or rest for over 2 months now. I don't know what I would have done if I had a child (or children)??? You mothers out there... especially those of you who work and raise your child(ren)... I admire you!!!

Anyhow, here are a couple of selections from hijabs that I have styled during this period... I have many photos, but I need to edit and organize them... I will share them in future posts inshaallah...

For you... :))
