Wedding at the Queen Mary

We've been so lucky to have beautiful warm weather in good ol' sunny California unlike the rest of the country and I was particularly lucky to visit a bride getting ready on the Queen Mary in Long Beach with its cool mild breezes. Considering I'm a born and raised SoCal girl, I've never been on the Queen Mary and truth be told, have been a little scared to ever venture on due to all of the ghost stories. Despite my nerves, I was able to help Karyn out with her vintage/modern bride look. She wanted a clean natural face, with minimal eye and the classic red lip. She had her hair styled by Sonya from Salon Pop in LBC's Retro Row and got ready in true vintage style on the Queen Mary. The room was antique, with original pieces from the ship's 1930's beginnings...a lot of history on that boat...and a lot of dark spooky corners too. :) Karyn has been a vibrant beautiful bride starting from her trial and I wholeheartedly would like to congratulate her and her now husband Andy (love that name:)) and wish them a lifetime of happiness and joy. xoxo



 I couldn't help looking over my shoulder constantly as I was walking through the dark scary halls. Lotsa history and space to be explored, but I think I'll stay away from this one. ;)
