Caroline Hayes = Walnut Hill Bridal Session!

Walnut Hill Bridal Session | Caroline Hayes | August 29, 2022

There hasn’t been a SINGLE outfit that I’ve seen Caroline wearing (after months of following her on Instagram) that I haven’t LOVED. So when it was time for her Bridal Session, I was soooo excited to see what dress she’d show up and just WOW everyone with wearing. 🙂

Caroline wore a beautiful form-fitting gown from Alexia’s with a custom bodice. The illusion neckline was really unique and I just loved the shape of all the appliqués. The color of her dress underlay was such a gorgeous pink/nude – which looked amazing with her skin color, and there were so many layers of sparkle and detail on it! Before she even picked this exact dress, Caroline knew she’d want a fingertip length veil, and the way it just laid softly against her arms during the session was so feminine and looked amazing.

After being a bridesmaid so many times, Caroline knew she’d want her hair in an elegant updo, very classic, and no pieces to worry about going straight or flying around her face. Thanks to Reign Beauty, her updo turned out beautifully!! I loved it!!!

Also, I need to brag on Caroline’s floral skills – she MADE that bridal bouquet using 4 dozen white roses! I was really impressed, it’s such a classic bouquet and looked so perfect for her style. Anyone need to hire a new florist?! 🙂

We had a HUMID day for Caroline’s Bridal Session, and the gnats/bugs were definitely hanging around. Caroline was such a good sport and sweated it out with us – and never once complained about how seriously HOT the humidity made our evening!

Caroline chose Walnut Hill (Their wedding venue) as the backdrop for this session, and we had a fun time exploring around all the pretty natural spaces on the property.

One REALLY special part of the session was the SECOND dress Caroline wore. She snuck her mom’s debutante dress out of her mom’s house, got it cleaned and repaired, and then wore it for part of our Bridal Session! Caroline got a portrait printed of herself in the dress & surprised her mom with it. Caroline also wore her mom’s dress for their Welcome Party this weekend! How special is that?! She went to so much effort to get the dress ready to wear, and it turned out beautifully.

I have so many favorites from Caroline’s session to share with ya’ll below! I hope you’ll enjoy seeing this beauty as a BRIDE! 🙂
