This one goes out to you.
The world is full of beautiful diversity. Humans are multifaceted, colorful, and unique. Folks express their beauty in so many different ways, which is so important on their wedding day.
So, why doesn’t the media and the wedding industry represent this diversity and celebrate our differences? That was exactly our question.
We noticed this lack of diversity and inclusion in the wedding industry offered to modern couples. So we set out to bring beauty to ALL people of all complexions, hair textures, and walks of life.
Welcome to Willow House Beauty, where everyone feels celebrated and welcome in our chairs.
Since launching in 2019, we’ve been featured in Martha Stewart Weddings, BRIDES, Style Me Pretty, Carats & Cakes, and The Knot. We’ve been honored with The Knot's best of weddings from 2019-2024, and inducted into their hall of fame.
