How Hairstylist Bobby Michael Crafted the Perfect Vintage-Inspired Hair Looks for Tanner Fletcher’s Spring 2026 Bridal Debut Show

04/23/2025

It’s hard to believe it but wedding season will be here before you know it. If you’re a stylist that’s in need of some fresh bridal hair inspiration for your clients, look no further than New York-based fashion label Tanner Fletcher’s Spring 2026 Bridal debut show. 

Titled “Going to the Chapel,” the brand’s collection was heavily inspired 1930s dress silhouettes, many of which featured delicate fabrics like lace and ivory silk. Taking place at Chelsea’s St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, the runway show beautifully transformed into a surprise wedding ceremony featuring real couples.

Celebrity hairstylist and R+Co Collective Member Bobby Michael had the honors of dreaming up two incredible hair looks for the show using all R+Co BLEU products. Speaking about the hair looks and how they helped bring the brand’s romantic, vintage-inspired vision to life, Michael said, “Tanner Fletcher created a world that evokes nostalgia for vintage style. We leaned into the individual personality of each model, and married it with a vintage element.”
