We are happy to share that Maretha & Andy’s Wedding was featured in The Knot Spring 2012 issue! Maretha & Andy had a gorgeous wedding at the St. Regis Monarch Beach with their ceremony at the Pacific Lawn followed and dreamy reception in the Monarch Ballroom. Maretha picked a soft color palette of pink, yellow, and white to set a romantic mood, which was also very feminine. Event Designer, Sunny with White Lilac, created all the decor and flower arrangements…one of my favorite elements was the wall backdrop behind the sweetheart table of paper flowers inspired by Maretha’s favorite iconic brand, Chanel. Shout out to John Hong with John and Joseph Photography for capturing these photos! Be sure to get a copy of the magazine to read more about the feature!

Erika & Eddie both work for Surf Companies and when looking at wedding venues they knew they wanted to get married by the beach. They had their wedding and reception at Hotel Seven4One, and for those of you have not seen this boutique hotel, it is such a cool venue! Hotel Seven4One has an uber-chic vibe and is perfect for an intimate wedding. Erika & Eddie did a hotel buyout so they were able to utilize the entire hotel during the wedding, and their Wedding Party was able to stay in the rooms that night. Guests had a great time dancing the night away and taking photos with the Flip Book Station, A Little Scene. Loved the mini dessert station created by Jennie with Pop Culture Desserts (everything looked so yummy), and a big shout out to Mystika & Erika’s girlfriends who did a great job on the decor and flower arrangements! Thank you Jean Tsai for capturing these beautiful photos. Congrats Erika & Eddie!

They had their wedding ceremony outside at the Botanical Garden (one of my favorite ceremony venues at the St. Regis) followed by a fun Dinner Reception inside Club 19. Mandie chose a vibrant color palette of pink, purple and blue, and Nisie withNisie’s Enchanted Florist created the pretty flower arrangements and decor.

Brooke and Chris are one great looking couple which can be seen here in their engagement photos taken at the Viceroy Santa Monica. Thanks again to Victor Sizemore who did a great job capturing the love between these two. Brooke is all about the details… it has been so fun seeing all of her “Pins” and receiving their Save the Date. Brooke was unable to find anyone who could create exactly what she envisioned so she made her Save the Dates by hand and let me tell you, they are amazing! Stay tuned to see what she comes up with at their upcoming summer wedding at Pelican Hill.

We are lucky to meet and work with such a diverse group of amazing brides. One of our past Bride’s, Leyla Milani, has line of hair extensions that we just had to share! Leyla Milani is the brainchild behind Milani Hair Extensions. As an actress and former Deal or No Deal model (Lucky #13), Leyla was always getting compliments on her famous locks and fan mail from around the world asking how to get her look.
 Although she was fortunate enough to be born with a thick head of hair, after more than 200 shows on D.O.N.D and countless other TV and film roles, Leyla started noticing her hair breaking own and losing its luster. All those hot tools, teasing, and styling products had finally taken a toll on her once healthy hair. She didn’t want to turn to expensive and often damaging “glue-in” or “sew-in” salon hair extensions as she saw firsthand the damage it had done to many of her model/actress friends’ locks, but she just couldn’t find high quality, yet affordable human clip-in hair options. Still, she had to do something. She couldn’t stand another day frying her hair or worse, risk losing most of it!
 That’s when MILANI CLIP-IN HAIR EXTENSIONS were born—the do-it-yourself, affordable, clip-in and-go hair extension solution! Milani Hair is made of premium, 100% organic human hair which means you can cut it, color it, and heat-style it— just like your own hair. And it’s so easy to use too.

When ordering your hair extensions you want to pick a color that is the closest match to the Milani Hair color chart. Milani Hair does their best to show each of their 12 vibrant and multi-tonal shades as accurately as possible but of course pictures and different computer monitors can be deceiving so your best bet is to choose a color that is the closest to your shade and if you end up getting the hair and notice that it’s a little off; remember that Milani Hair is 100% human hair–just like your own. So, you can always color it or put a toner over it to match your hair perfectly. It is recommended that you take your extensions to a professional colorist to avoid mishaps. If you’re still not sure, you can email us a high resolution jpg photo to: info@milanihair.com and we can assist you in finding your perfect shade.

All of the Milani hair extensions come in a 7-piece, 20″ length, full head set. The hair weighs about 100 grams or 4 ozs….that’s a lot of hair and length for that matter. Not everyone needs all 7 pieces but it’s always best to have a little more than less, right? Each full head set includes one 8″ weft, two 6″ wefts, two 4″ wefts and two 1″ wefts for a total of 7 individual and versatile pieces.

Putting in your Milani Hair is easy and simple. Milani Hair is designed to be quick, fool-proof and completely do-it-yourself. Application takes less than 10 minutes and it’s as easy as snapping in a hair clip. There is a step-by-step instructional flyer inside the package or you can always watch the youtube tutorial.

Think of your new extensions as an investment and the better you take care of it and maintain it, the longer you can enjoy it. Use mild or sulfate-free shampoos/conditioners. You don’t need to wash your Milani Hair as often as your own hair…just as often as you feel it needs it. Do not sleep in or swim with your clip-in extensions on. They are designed to be clipped on and removed instantly. The best way to store your hair is either in the original package it comes in or in a shoe box away from dust and other particles.

To order Milani Hair simply visit: milanihair.com. Prices are normally $179.97, but Leyla was so kind to offer all our Details Details Brides and anyone referred by this blog a significant discount! Just mention the code: Details Details, and they will offer you 25% off their regular price. Please send your order via email: info@milanihair.com.
