Top 3 Places I’ve Had the Pleasure of Styling Bridal Hair

Wedding Day Hair

Feb 19

As a destination bridal hairstylist, with The Ivory Standard, I’ve been lucky enough to work in some seriously jaw-dropping locations. From tropical beaches to fairy-tale villas, I’ve had the privilege of styling brides in spots that feel straight out of a dream. Here are my top 3 favorite places I’ve had the honor of styling bridal hair—each one was an absolute vibe.

1. Villa Pizzo, Lake Como, Italy
Okay, let’s talk about Villa Pizzo—cue the dreamy music. Located on the shores of Lake Como, this place is so stunning it almost feels like it was designed just for weddings. The villa itself is over 300 years old and has hosted celebrities, royalty, and even made an appearance in Star Wars (yes, you read that right!). Styling hair with The Ivory Standard for Bella Vita Retreats here was like stepping into a fairytale. I mean, the views of the lake with the Alps in the background? The vibe? Total magic.

2. Makapuu Beach, Oahu, Hawaii
When I tell you that styling hair at Makapuu Beach in Oahu felt like a pinch me moment—I’m not exaggerating. This beach is everything—turquoise waters, golden sand, and that warm Hawaii breeze. I had the chance to work with The Ivory Standard here for a beautiful beachside bridal shoot, and we even did a fun hairstyle swap! We started with a ponytail and switched to soft, beachy waves (because why not?). The vibe? Ultimate island relaxation, with the sound of waves in the background and a seriously happy bride.

3. Villa Anemomilos, Crete, Greece
Crete, oh Crete. Styling my bestie girl’s hair for her wedding at Villa Anemomilos was as magical as it sounds. This villa is perched right on the edge of the Aegean Sea, surrounded by a little piece of Greek history, myth, and tons of charm. The place was like a dream come true, with rustic vibes, beautiful views, and more than enough romance to go around. Oh, and did I mention the cute cats? Villa Anemomilos is home to some seriously adorable kitties that add a bit of extra cuteness to the scenery. Let’s just say they made everything 10 times more delightful! Styling my Sydney’s hair here for such an intimate event was everything I could have ever asked for. The vibe? Not sure how we’ll top it!
