Catherine Porras
Owner / Lead Hair Stylist
Meet Cat
With more than a decade in the beauty industry and over 400 weddings under her belt, Cat has spent nearly her entire career helping people feel incredible during some of the biggest moments of their lives.
Her love for bridal started all the way back in hair school, and she never really left it. Since then, Cat has worked with multiple wedding companies throughout her career, giving her the opportunity to learn from different teams, environments, and countless wedding mornings while continually building her knowledge and expertise in both bridal hair and makeup.
She is definitely not afraid to take that expertise on the road. Cat’s bridal career has taken her across the country, overseas to Spain, aboard multiple cruise weddings, and to destination celebrations of all kinds. Traveling for weddings is one of her favorite parts of the job, and she is always happy to pack up her kit, grab her passport, and go wherever the celebration takes her.
While she loves a timeless bridal moment, Cat has an especially soft spot for weddings that are a little outside the box. Renaissance? Gothic enchanted forest? Disney? Fantasy? A hyper-specific theme you’ve been mentally planning since you were twelve? Please bring it on. If your wedding feels unmistakably you, she wants to be part of it.
For Cat, bridal beauty is about so much more than the finished look. After hundreds of wedding mornings, she knows the energy in the room matters just as much as what happens in the chair. She brings a calm, easygoing presence, knows how to roll with the inevitable wedding-day chaos, and wants every person she works with to feel comfortable, cared for, and genuinely excited for the day ahead.
Inclusivity is incredibly important to Cat. Her chair is proudly LGBTQIA+ inclusive and a judgment-free space for everyone. There is no one way to be a bride, a groom, a spouse, or a member of a wedding party—and no rule saying wedding beauty has to look a certain way. Whether you want barely-there makeup, full glam, cascading romantic curls, something beautifully androgynous, or an elaborate fantasy-inspired look, you have a place in her chair.
A mom and lifelong Central Florida local, Cat brings equal parts experience, creativity, humor, and heart to what she does. She loves a good story, a wedding with personality, and getting to be a small part of a day her clients will remember for the rest of their lives.
Her philosophy is simple: wedding-day beauty shouldn’t turn you into someone else. It should take everything that already feels like you and turn the volume up.
And because wedding hair starts before the wedding morning: Cat is also a hairstylist specializing in dimensional and creative color, transformations, and extensions. So if your color needs refreshing, your dream style needs a little more length, or you want to completely reinvent your hair before saying “I do,” she can help get it wedding-ready from start to finish.
