Here at Hayden Olivia we become very anxious to see photos from our bride’s wedding day.  Portraits are great too!  We spend 6-9 months helping our brides prepare for their big day…the photos are always the time when Laura and I gasp in awe and get giddy about the look that was created right here at Hayden Olivia!  We are truly grateful for each of our brides and love love to reflect by seeing their gorgeous pictures.  No need to say more…here is Ms. Lindsay Gibson!! Gasp!!

Gorgeous is all we can say!  We were thrilled to receive these photos from Nicki of her fall 09 wedding here in Charlotte, NC.  Nicki wore a gorgeous french lace gown by Modern Trousseau and her veil was by Jennifer Leigh. We loved helping Nicki put her look together from her veil to her fab shoes!

Virginia with Evergreen Studio here in Charlotte, NC  just sent over these stunning photos of Laura.  Laura came to us with an idea of what she wanted and Modern Trousseaucreated a completely custom gown for her from the lace of her choice to the custom color and sash.  Can’t wait for a sneek peek of her wedding day!

Problem solved! You no longer have to sacrifice fabulous shoes on your wedding day for flats or chunky heels just because your cocktail hour is outdoors or on the lawn. SoleMates has created a product that fits on most heels, is discrete and reusable.

Most gorgeous bridal shoes have thin heels, the chunky heels tend to be unstylish/frumpy. SoleMates comes to the rescue with a little plastic cover that slips on your heel so you do not sink in the lawn.

SoleMates come in clear and black and can be purchased at www.solemates.com.

Here are several of our favorite looks for your wedding day pampering session.  We highly recommend having your makeup airbrushed.  You will accomplish a flawless look that will last for several hours and you will not have to worry about shine!  If you need a recommendation for makeup artisits in the greater Charlotte area, please contact us at 704-333-0377.

Leigh and Nick are the winners of  TODAY Throws a Wedding.  All of America voted on the gown that Leigh should wear and the results are in.  Leigh will wear the Julianna gown by Christos and this same gown is here at Hayden Olivia.  If you are looking for what TODAY describes as, “This gown is ethereal elegance that will make any bride float down the aisle. This tulle A-line gown with shirred bust and natural waist is a perfect option for the bride who doesn’t want to wear strapless as the crystal and pearl beaded cap sleeves offer an elegant, sheer coverage.”

Please call Hayden Olivia for more information on this beautiful gown or to book an appointment. 704-333-0377
