I first started in the bridal industry as a makeup artist and hairstylist. I would meet thousands of brides and be a part of their special day, and it was from here that the concept for Brides and Hairpins was born. It felt like a natural progression from what I was doing as when you are creative with various hairstyles and fulfilling how a bride wants to look; I kept wishing that I had certain headpieces or veils headpieces that were lighter and didn’t weigh the hairstyle down. I feel that a striking headpiece is what sets a bride apart from the rest, and I wanted to create a collection that was beautiful but also unique and versatile and one that would cater to every bride.

We started with our first collection, and we would attend the New York bridal market every year, and eventually, our brand started to gain traction. One of our biggest clients has been Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, SAKS, and BHLDN for Anthropologie, and this was a huge blessing for us as it meant that our brand became mainstream. We have some incredible retailers now stocking our collection worldwide, and this is based on building great relationships and making sure we are giving brides pieces they can really love.
