Hey gorgeous! I am a licensed Cosmetologist and have been doing hair for 15 years. I follow in my mom‘s footsteps and grew up in a salon where she was obsessed with updos. I too love bridal styling, as I get to help people feel their most beautiful self on their most important day. I am extremely detailed oriented, punctual, organized and fun!! When I’m not behind the chair, I am a personal trainer and strongman competitor. My husband and I have three boys who are into all things sports related. We love to fish and boat when we get free time!

Welcome! Amber here! Amber Waves Bridal's owner. For years I have worked behind the chair and never branched out to outside venues, then, I moved 1/2 way across the state and figured "what better time to try something new?" I have always had a passion for making women feel beautiful and when better to do it then on their wedding day? I still work behind the chair but on the weekends you can find me traveling all over central Illinois working on-site weddings. I wouldn't trade my job for the world!

My name is Jared, and I’m the owner of ROQ Events.

From ceremony to reception, my goal is to make sure everything flows smoothly and reflects your personalities. We’ll go over every detail together so that when your wedding day arrives, all you have to do is relax and enjoy the celebration.

My goal is very simple; document what's happening. All of it. The little smiles, small embraces, big laughs, quiet tears, fingers intertwined, subtle glances, and first steps. None of these things will ever happen the way they happened today. I believe there should be proof that you laughed at that joke, said those vows, kissed that cheek, and cried those tears. And it should be captured in a way that is beautiful and full of feeling.

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.
