This year, we glam’d on cliffs, castles, farms, islands, treehouses, and vineyards. We hugged grandmas, laughed with moms, and cried behind the scenes more than once.

From the Pacific Northwest forests to the sun-soaked coast of California, we’ve had the absolute honor of serving (the coolest) brides who trusted us with their beauty, their timelines, and their most sacred morning vibes.

And this week, especially this week, we just want to say…

Thank you.

💌 To our radiant brides:

You let us into your most intimate, emotional, and exciting mornings. You trusted us not just with your hair and makeup, but with your nerves, your playlists, your timelines, and sometimes your tissues.
You let us laugh with you. You let us fix your flyaways and your lashes. You let us witness the love, the nerves, the butterflies, and we’re better artists and humans because of it.

You made us feel like more than vendors. You made us feel like family.

🥹 To the moms:

THE REAL ONES.
You made us feel so loved, so seen, and so fed. The getting ready suite was your kingdom, and we were your guests of honor. Never allowed to leave without a plate full of something warm and made with love.

We saw your pride. Your tears. Your tiny sewing kits and clutch full of bobby pins. We will never forget you.

💍 To the grooms (and groomsmen who behaved):

Thanks for the coffee runs. The dad jokes. The way you looked at your bride like nothing else in the world existed. You made the glam room feel even more special when you knocked quietly to sneak in a note or a gift or a kiss on the cheek.
You reminded us why we do this. Every single time.

🫶 To our husbands:

Our behind-the-scenes heroes.
You wrangled kids and sports schedules. You prepped dinners. You handled life at home so we could chase our dreams across states, timelines and wedding suites.
You have supported us on every late night, early morning, and travel weekend with nothing but love and encouragement. We don’t say it enough, but we could not do this without you.

Thank you for holding it all down so we could build something beautiful.

🌍 And to the wild journey this year took us on:

Farms. Islands. Mountain tops. Castles. Bakersfield.
We traveled. We transformed. We teared up more than we care to admit.
This job isn’t just artistry. It’s heart work.
And this year, our hearts were so full.

So from us to you — thank you.

For the hugs.
For the trust.
For the playlists and pop tarts and mimosa-fueled timelines.
We’re beyond grateful.
We’re better because of you.

And we’re just getting started.
💋 Rachel & Azalee
