A couple of months ago, I had the amazing opportunity to visit the BHLDN headquarters (in Philly), for a day of playing dress up. I asked my talented friend, Keiko, to come along with me to capture the experience. Luckily for me, she was in!
Upon arrival, The BHLDN team greeted us with champagne, cupcakes and a display of dresses, shoes and jewels. I was in my glory! I got to work with one of their wedding stylists who truly made me see things I never pictures on myself, like the hair blusher I’m wearing. Now, I’m seriously considering wearing one. What do you guys think?
Out of all the dresses I tried on, the Ortensia was my favorite. Although it’s not the dress I’m wearing on the big day (not sharing that one, yet!), it came in at a close second.
Again, just wanted to thank the incredible BHLDN team. You guys are beyond words! Seriously.
And of course to Keiko, who took and edited all these beautiful photos. I’m a lucky gal!

That's so sweet of Keiko to take you pictures <3 As for the blusher, I think it looks amazing on you! I've always liked them on brides. I think it gives your look a little more glam. These dresses are all gorgeous, btw.

Go with the blusher! You can always do for just the ceremony or put on as a topper at the party!

Awww, what a pretty bride. The makeup for the big day needs to be a tad toned down – just saying. You look great.
