Fountaine Bridal Lindsey owns Fountaine Bridal and is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.  She helped me choose my wedding gown, earrings, and flower hairpin for my wedding and she really makes you feel at ease.

Kimberly Skaletsky-Hair.  Kim is incredibly talented and I highly recommend her!  She did hair for Brooke and Lauren.  Kim recently relocated to Raleigh, so if you’re interested in getting in touch with her, please let me know!

Charli Woodward- Makeup.  You know, I think it really takes talent to be a makeup artist.  Charli was incredibly nice and gave us tips as she worked.  She works out of Lavish Salon, off Military Cutoff in Wilmington, NC, and also does lash extensions!
