A Spanish Hills Country Club Wedding - Dominique & Seun
Nestled amidst the breathtaking scenery of Camarillo, California, the Spanish Hills Country Club served as the canvas for a wedding that seamlessly blended chic with modern sophistication. At the heart of this celebration was a radiant bride with luscious curls!
Dominique and I, bridal makeup artist and hairstyling of over 10 years, met through a valued connection—a referral from a fabulous vendor with whom I had previously had the privilege of working with before on other wedding events! Welcoming the opportunity to enhance the natural beauty of Dominique’s curls, we embarked on a mission to curate a bridal style that exuded modern elegance while preserving the uniqueness of her own natural style.
Understanding her curly hair and the intricacies it entails, Dominique and I made use of not one, but two trials. Each trial a detailed opportunity to finesse and perfect her desired bridal look, which involved the delicate art of individually finger-twisting each curl strand, coaxing out the innate beauty of every curl to create a harmonious symphony of texture and movement.
After carefully sculpting and defining each curl, a gentle diffusing technique was used to set the curls and ensure a flawless finish that resonated with her modern aesthetic. This approach wasn't about conforming to traditional norms; it was about celebrating the organic beauty of the bride's natural curls in a manner that felt chic and refined.
As the sun bathed the Spanish Hills in its golden glow, the bride emerged, an embodiment of modern elegance. Her curls, meticulously styled to perfection, added a touch of contemporary allure to her bridal ensemble, creating an exquisite balance between timeless grace and avant-garde sophistication.
The Spanish Hills Country Club witnessed a union of contemporary style and timeless charm—a testament to the bride's trust and our dedication to showcasing her natural beauty through a modern lens. It was more than just hairstyling; it was about seamlessly merging the past and the present, crafting a look that spoke volumes about the bride's individuality and the essence of this momentous occasion.
Here are a few words from Dominique about her experience:
“I hired Ruth B Medrano for my hair and makeup for my wedding day and could not be happier! Ruth and her assistant did hair and makeup for me, my bridal party and my mom, and everyone looked stunning! Ruth was such a pleasure to work with. As an indecisive bride with very curly natural hair, I was looking for someone who would be patient and helpful, and know how to work with thick, curly hair which is exactly what Ruth was! My trial went super smooth but after the fact I started to second guess the hair style I had decided on with about a month to go before the wedding day. Ruth was super understanding and worked with me to find a time to do a second trial for my hair using her blowout technique which I absolutely loved as we were able to leverage my natural curl while giving it a very clean, bridal look. I received so many compliments on both my hair and makeup on my wedding day and heard so many guests telling my mom the same thing about hers, which made us both so happy. Thank you Ruth for your patience, help, flexibility and punctuality. I really appreciated you and your team being part of my special day! Oh - and even better, my hair and makeup lasted all night despite tons of dancing and jumping up and down :)”
In the heart of California's scenic splendor, a curly-haired bride epitomized chic sophistication, radiating confidence, happiness, and modern allure on her most special day!
