Generations of beauty.

Whether it is walking our #brides down the aisle,

Whether it is walking our #brides down the aisle, teaching them to walk, get up after they fall or dance like no one’s watching, our dads of all kinds #fatherofthebride #dadswithdaughters tug at our heartstrings. 💗 Thanks for raising beautiful humans, inside and out! // Repost @annagreenberg

Happy Father’s Day to the coolest dad around 😎 Watching you work hard, create art, climb mountains, open a gallery, & never stop evolving is so inspiring to me. Thank you for encouraging me to always follow my passions no matter how impractical. From posing for me to paint portraits of you for hours & days on end with no breaks, to sitting in the front row of my first yoga classes cracking me up on my Oms & announcing to everyone that I was your daughter. You always made me feel that the things I wanted to do were important. I love you so much 💙 Hats off to all the father figures out there in any form who provide love & support for us to follow our dreams 🙏🏼

Juneteenth: “Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. Note that this was two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation - which had become official January 1, 1863. The Emancipation Proclamation had little impact on the Texans due to the minimal number of Union troops to enforce the new Executive Order. However, with the surrender of General Lee in April of 1865, and the arrival of General Granger’s regiment, the forces were finally strong enough to influence and overcome the resistance. Later attempts to explain this two and a half year delay in the receipt of this important news have yielded several versions that have been handed down through the years. Often told is the story of a messenger who was murdered on his way to Texas with the news of freedom. Another is that the news was deliberately withheld by the enslavers to maintain the labor force on the plantations. And still another is that federal troops actually waited for the slave owners to reap the benefits of one last cotton harvest before going to Texas to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation. All of which, or none of these versions could be true. Certainly, for some, President Lincoln's authority over the rebellious states was in question. Whatever the reasons, conditions in Texas remained status quo well beyond what was statutory.” -Juneteenth.com.

Skin color and hair texture have long been the discriminatory determinants of black beauty. Harkening back to days when lighter skin meant preferential treatment by slaves owners, women and men worldwide have looked for ways to lighten their skin, often with detrimental effects. Without sugarcoating, the more white you look, the more beautiful you are assumed to be, and thus the better your life. Giant commercial industries have been born from the desire for straight hair and lighter skin, including hair straighteners with lye and other harmful substances. The remnants of slavery exist in many parts of our society, and beauty is no exception. I too have spent much of my life fighting my hair. From the time I used relaxers, to the times I’d have my hair pressed with a heavy metal iron that often burned my scalp. When electric flat irons came out, I fried my hair in constant search of perfectly straight tresses. I’ve often opted for weaves and wigs over my own curly hair, perhaps feeling that I’d look “more professional” or “more approachable” to potential clients. A few years ago I had connected with a bride and her mother separately via phone, speaking to each individually for hours. They came into my office to sign the contract and as soon as the mother saw me I knew there was an issue. I had chosen to wear my hair curly that day, and realized she’d never seen me in person. The first thing she said to me was “Are you really Joy? You look much different than you sounded on the phone.” Needless to say, they left without signing the contract. While experiences like that hurt, they are commonplace for black professionals. I eventually started putting my photo on my website and sharing myself on social media to avoid future issues. I have come to find so much pride and love for curly hair and my rich skin. My pride for the beauty of black women has pushed my design work; I feel a duty to show the beauty of black people and people of other cultures. We have the chance to use our platform in numerous ways. I will continue to use my platform

Today and everyday. #unitythroughcommunity Our com

Today and everyday. #unitythroughcommunity Our commitment to equality, equity and justice is part of the fabric of who we are and what we do. We started because #brides wanted to be able to look like themselves and be celebrated for their own unique beauty. This includes skin tone and hair texture.

Our artists are trained in all of this because hair texture is not just for people of color, hair texture refers to the texture of your hair regardless of your skin color. And your skin color should look like YOUR skin, not some makeup bottle’s interpretation of your skin.

We believe that #blackisbeautiful and #blacklivesmatter✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 .

ICYMI, this is my why (see my @the_bridal_mastercl

ICYMI, this is my why (see my @the_bridal_masterclass Mother’s Day post). The last week has been exhausting. Lots of tears, frustration, anger and yet it isn’t new to me. As a mother who fiercely loves her son and fears for his safety, there is so much heartache. He is 17, still needs to finish getting his license and will probably move out in the next couple years. And that is scary because if he is in the wrong place at the wrong time, decides to wear a hoodie because it’s cold, gets pulled over driving, or stands too long window shopping in a store, it could be the end.

To those of you who have DM’d responses “all lives matter” to our story posts stating #blacklivesmatter , please know I am not saying your non-black life doesn’t matter. I am saying that my son, who in his short life has already endured racist teachers, school systems, store clerks, restaurants, and physical and verbal assaults without repercussions to the white perpetrators, matters. His life matters. His future matters. Your support matters. Your action matters. Your willingness to dig deep, be humble and root out cultural and systematic racism you ignore matters.

If you don’t know where to start, @mireillecharper , @moemotivate has online courses you can take, + you can follow and read from @nowhitesaviors @laylafsaad @rachel.cargle @ckyourprivilege @iamrachelricketts @thegreatunlearn @renieddolodge @ibramxk @akalamusic @katycatalyst @roiannenedd @tanehisipcoates // And remember that this hard work doesn’t end with the book you read, the course you take or the posts you post this week. Continued support, signing petitions, donating organizations like @mnfreedomfund @naacp @aclu_nationwide and supporting black-owned #weddingpros is important.

Remember that being kind isn’t just the absence of violence. It is actions you take when you recognize, celebrate and fight for the humanity of another. Be kind. Black Lives Matter.
