The ultimate guide to accessorizing a bridal hair style

We get a ton of questions about hair accessories. I LOVE hair accessories, and think they add the perfect touch to the overall style. A lot of women will opt out and use only the veil. It really comes down to preference and your style.

Industrial Spring Inspired Shoot

Emily and I had the opportunity to be apart of a -- Industrial Spring Inspired Shoot. We always have fun collaborating with our "Frendors" (local vendors) and are so excited for this shoot to be featured on the Ruffle Blog. 

Kelsie and Monica's visions was colorful and fun. I loved how they asked for a simple loose bun with bright flowers. I am mean who doesn't love pops of color? The flowers, couple, cake, location, and look was seriously some MAJOR Wedding Goals! 

Everyone worked so hard to achieve their vision and their hard work paid off. Check out this stunning styled shoot below.

Favorite Styling Products

I get asked frequently about what I products I love, what products smell great, and are they worth the money. Because, lets be real, beauty products are EXPENSIVE. I want to help guide you, with some of the best products and give you tips and tricks for using them. 

Left to Right

1. Kenra 25 Finishing Spray

Super Strong Volume Spray Hairspray - This is my go-to for on-location or daily styling. I LOVE the smell, its a super strong hold, leaving the style intact all day long. Every bridesmaid/bride always says "Wow, that smells so good".   (Tips and Tricks) after achieving the desired hairstyle, use Kenra 25 Finishing Spray all over it about 6-8" away from the hair. 

2. AG Hair Care

OMG(OSH) I have recently discovered this amazing keratin filled serum and its the best thing since sliced bread. I am seriously in love. not only does it make my hair feel amazing and soft. Its repairing my hair and reduces breakage! PRAISE THE LORD! If you are struggling with breakage or damaged hair, try this serum, its definitely a game changer.  (Use on clean damp hair, spread on the ends or where any damage is occurring, then proceed to style)

3. Kenra Oil Absorbing Dry Shampoo

Okay you guys...... Know how some dry shampoos build up on your hair and some leave it feeling gross/filled with powder or perhaps more greasy? I have tried what feels like a hundred dry shampoos and I want something that leaves my hair feeling oil free and smells great. Drum roll please. THIS IS IT! I Love this dry shampoo and it removes all of the oil! WOO HOO! No more washing my hair everyday. (My hair gets super oily) so this is a must have if you have similar issues. (Use on dirty hair preferably once or twice a day and continue for however long you want). I can go up to 3 days without washing my hair.

Anyway, let me know if this information was useful, I love helping people out. There is so many products out there, and no one has time for testing all of them. I find the best and most talked about products and try them, so you don't have to. 

Also FYI, I was not given nor paid for to use these products. I bought them with my hard earned, independent, bo$$ babe, monies. ;)

Abigail + Danny

Abigail and I met a few years ago through a mutual friend. So obviously I was super excited when she asked me to do her wedding hair. She is kind and SO Beautiful. I was so excited when I received her images. We did two looks for her wedding hair, as Ohio weather can be some-what unpredictable (giggle) because you never know if its going to be snowing or a warm spring day. Even in the middle of February (ha) So it did end up being quit warm for her wedding with a slight chance of rain. 

With all of that in consideration we did her first style down with voluminous curls and the second style up, so she could shake her little tail feather all night long. (Because isn't that what the reception is about, after all)?  Her bridesmaids were cheering her on all day long, and SO sweet! Abigail's dress was a show stopper for sure. I was drooling over it, one of my faves to date.  The details were phenomenal and their robes were adorable. Basically I loved everything about this wedding and I am just now getting around to blogging it.  Take a look for yourselves, you won't be sorry.

Congratulations again Abigail and Danny - Thank you for having Sweetly Pinned Hair be apart of your special day. XOXO

Caitlin + Adam

Caitlin and I met a month prior to her December wedding and tried out a few different hairstyles to compliment her dress along with giving her the desired volume she craved. We didn't actually do the style at the trial run that she ended up wearing the day of.  She knew what she wanted and was absolutely right! She chose to wear a simple yet gorgeous high bun. It was the perfect style for her big day, and boy, did she rock it! Is there anything better than a high textured bun? I think not. Ha!

Caitlin and her bridal party welcomed me as soon as I walked in, and let me use my creative freedom for their styles. One of the bridesmaids asked me for a "modern beehive" I was in heaven. I love when brides let their bridal party pick individual styles they want to wear, after all they do have to wear it all day! Either way its always fun getting to know a new group and form a bond. I am so grateful the Brauns recommended Caitlin to me. I felt like we were a perfect fit and I am so excited Caitlin and Adams new journey together.  

Check out her gorgeous day below:
