Jessie & Cal’s Forest Wedding at Well Spring Spa
Some weddings just feel like magic from the very beginning. Jessie and Cal’s day at Well Spring Spa in Ashford, Washington, just outside Mt. Rainier National Park, was one of those. Tucked away in a little bridal cabin in the woods, Jessie got ready surrounded by her mom, sister, college bestie, and her soon-to-be in-laws. Yes, including the absolute badass sister-in-law who rocked a fitted suit and stood proudly on the groom’s side.
The Vision
When we first met Jessie, she described herself as a “no makeup daily” kind of girl. But on her wedding day, she wanted something different: natural, warm, glowy, and just a touch of vintage 60’s and 70’s inspiration. She even floated the idea of green eyeshadow to match her wedding shoes. In the end, she swapped her shoes for white ones but added a green hair clip that tied the look together perfectly.
Hair Prep with Care
Jessie was so open with us during her meet and greet. She admitted that her hair had always been a source of insecurity, often falling flat no matter what she tried. On a day as important as her wedding, she wanted to feel confident and beautiful without worrying about whether her hair would hold up.
That’s where our prep made all the difference. We ordered extensions that matched her natural color perfectly, giving her the soft, romantic style she envisioned. Extensions are one of our favorite bridal tools because they do so much more than add length. They create fullness, tame frizz, and help styles stay flawless through hours of tears, hugs, and dancing. With Jessie’s spaghetti strap gown and beaded cape, her hair needed to be versatile and photo-ready while still feeling true to her style and vision.
For Jessie, the extensions weren’t just about her hair. They were about stepping into her wedding day with calm, confidence, and joy.
💡 Why Extensions Are a Bridal Secret Weapon
Fullness and Volume: Adds body for polished styles
Frizz Control: Blends seamlessly and smooths problem areas
Longevity: Keeps curls and waves intact from ceremony to reception
Confidence Boost: Gives brides peace of mind knowing their style will hold
The Morning
Rachel had the honor of doing Jessie’s hair and makeup, creating a radiant look that let her natural beauty shine while adding just enough glam for her big moment. Alongside her, Azalee and Joy glammed Jessie’s mom, sister, bestie, and future in-laws. The morning felt like the ultimate girl gang sleepover: laughter, a little champagne, and 90’s classics blasting in the background.
The Ceremony
Jessie and Cal exchanged vows in a circle of towering trees at Wellspring Spa, surrounded by family and friends. The light filtered through the forest canopy, highlighting Jessie’s glowing skin and perfectly styled hair. Watching Cal’s face when he saw her walk down the aisle was the kind of reaction every bride dreams of.
The Celebration
From their vibrant floral tablescapes and whimsical cake cutting to their first dance under string lights, Jessie and Cal’s reception was joyful and full of personal touches. And yes, her glam held strong through all of it: the happy tears, the endless hugs, and even sharing a slice of pizza with her new husband. Proof that the right bridal beauty package does more than make you look good, it makes you feel unstoppable (and pizza-proof).
Final Thoughts
Jessie came to us worried about her hair and unsure how to pull her vision together. What she walked away with was confidence, calm, and a look that made her feel like the best version of herself. Watching her glow on her wedding day, surrounded by family and friends in the Ashford woods, reminded us exactly why we love what we do.
For us, it is never just about hair and makeup. It is about creating a wedding morning that feels joyful and stress-free, giving our brides the space to soak in every moment. Jessie’s day was proof that the right bridal beauty package doesn’t just make you look good, it makes you feel unstoppable.
