Elle's Down Hairstyle and Bridal Makeup

Elle chose not to wear a veil, opting instead for a relaxed, wavy, down hairstyle bare of pins and accessories. She says, "We wanted our wedding day to be about love, family, and having fun, which is why we didn't get caught up worrying about traditions," which also meant leaving out the unity candle and letting James see her before the wedding.
