You guys were such a pleasure to work for and I am very lucky to have gained 2 awesome friends in my life!

<3, J~

Here’s their awesome wedding video by PHILLIP YI of FREE THE STILL.

For EJ’s hair, I used the marcel 1.5″ to get wavey curls and then swept it to the side for a side ponytail. For the bridesmaids hairs, I did a twisty half updo. Half up styles are tricky on darker hair because it can look really plain and boring. It can also look like they could’ve done it themselves.

For everyone’s makeup, I did the clean, natural but made up look with tons of lashes!!~

EJ is so beautiful!

After the PAE BAEK, we spiced up her makeup by smoking it out with different shades of purple and adding MORE LASHES.~

We also changed out of the PAE BAEK hair and brought the curls to the side.

For her bridesmaid (on the right), I did the all natural makeup look with the classic updo. We added a few layers of curls around her face to frame. For her maid of honor (on the left), I did an 3/4 up, 1/4 down do. So from the front, it looked like an updo. From the back, it looked like a long ponytail because the curls cascaded down. From the side, it almost looked like a faux hawk~

GASP! I just LOVE vineyard weddings!

A lot of the Long Island (NY) vineyards look rustic and Italian villa-y. But Sparkling Pointe Vineyards had a very sleek, modern look. Made for gorgeous portrait backdrop!

Congratulations J & J! I truly wish you guys all the best the world can offer!

Here’s how J & J PaeBaek’ed! I still can’t get over how beautiful J looked!

For her makeup, we stuck with natural earth tones and kept it fairly light with the blush. Since paebaek fashion is to still red dots on the bride’s cheeks. For her lashes, I only used 2 layers since we were going for the more toned down natural look.

I’ve heard crazy stories about how the brides accidentally bite the groom’s lips with the date but it looks like J & J hit the target!

For her hair, I kept it as a very simple low bun because I know how rough the paekbaek dressers can be with hair. The little hat on top would’ve crushed any volume I put in her hair, so I kept the top fairly flat and just polished. The low bun was there to support the stick that goes through to hold the ribbon. Here’s an example of how aggressive some of the paebaek dressers can be

I absolutely LOVED J’s fusion hanbok. Most hanboks constrict the boobs and the flair start higher up. But the fusion hanbok is a little bit more forgiving. So the black part of her hanbok came down a little lower. She still kept her look traditional by throwing on the jogoli (the red bolero looking jacket) on top.

Stay tuned for PART 3! They WED!
