Priscilla Vallis wedding in Beverly Hills
Priscilla Vallis may be the celebrity hair extensionist who has been lengthening the locks of clients like Kardashian, Hailey Bieber, Kate Hudson, and Megan Fox. But, it was a love of cars, not hair, that led the beautician to her future husband, businessman Miguel Aguilar. “Priscilla grew up in a family of car enthusiasts,” the newlyweds shared brides. Her father built low-rider bikers and collects classic cars. Miguel, himself a classic car collector, met her father, Richie, at a Vegas auto show. Richie introduced Priscilla and Miguel in March 2021 and the rest is history.”
The couple fell head over heels for each other, knowing it was meant to be by the time the year passed. In December 2021, Priscilla made it permanent by tattooing her signature on Miguel at the Bel Air Hotel. “After the tattoo was done, it was suggested in a sweet romantic way with lots of white roses and candles,” Priscilla shares.
When the couple needed to settle down somewhere, they decided it would be special to go back to the place where they decided to spend the rest of their lives together. Therefore, they chose the ballroom of the Bel Air Hotel for a grand reception after a party at The Good Shepherd of Beverly Hills. Their vision for the day was “Old Hollywood glam with a chic twist and some Latin flair”.
So, on September 17, 2022, Priscilla and Miguel made an elegant Beverly Hills relationship for 160 family members and friends. Read ahead for all the details, photographed by Jacob Huizar of Rich Kid Media.

The beauty expert decided to get a soft and romantic look for her wedding day. She began her prep weeks with facials from Joanna Vargas, as well as Vampire Facials, Botox, lasers, and injections from Dr. Jason Diamond. Priscilla adds, “I’m a 41-year-old bride, so maintenance was a full-time job!”
For her hair, Priscilla wanted “a classic blowout with a heavy side part behind the ear on one side to give more volume and a more dramatic blowout.” She explains, “It’s a sexy romantic look that I love to go for.” Of course, she added a little length herself. “Glam Seamless luxe clip-ins She is key to my wedding look and is so important to me because I put my heart and soul into creating this dream extension line,” Priscilla shares.

Favorite moment to prepare for her wedding? “The night I had with my stepdaughters Riley and Jaden, and my maid of honor,” Priscilla shares. Fun fact: Pop star Christina Aguilera held the DOH position for the day. “We had a real girl’s intimate night with facials, gowns, and all about self-care while watching Father of the Bride. This was a very special moment for me.”
As for her custom maid of honor dress, the bride explains, “Christina wore something a bit more edgy than a traditional maid of honor.” “We designed a black silk look that’s fit, high slit, super sexy, and sexy.”

On her wedding day, Priscilla wore a stunning silk-satin strapless dress by Monique Lhuillier. “I originally thought I’d end up with a lace dress but the second I’d wear—with its traditional, chic, elegant and simple cut—I fell in love with it instantly,” reflects the bride.
However, making her way to see the designer’s pick during peak season has not been the easiest process. The couple booked their spot just three months ago today, so they were definitely in a short time frame. After a cancellation that gave Priscilla a chance to see the dresses in the salon, there were only seven in stock. “The last thing you tried was for me,” says the bride.

To spice up her look, Priscilla wore a stunning tennis necklace, gorgeous earrings by Happy Jewelers, and Jimmy Choo shoes. She also splashed on her favorite scent, Baccarat Rouge 540, and wore an Opi Bubble Bath on her nails. “I’m allergic to color when it comes to my nails, so I always do pink,” she adds.
There were two accessories that had a special meaning for the bride. Since it’s an old thing, “My dad gave me my grandmother’s wallet to use for today. She passed away recently and we were so close to this, it really affected me,” explains Priscilla. “A friend of mine, whose mother had just passed away this summer, gave me her mother’s ring – a sapphire diamond ring – as he borrowed something.”

The groom looked elegant for the day in Giorgio Armani from head to toe. He accessorized Tux’s Happy Jewelers cufflinks and a limited-edition Rolex 41 ml gold. Miguel also got Joanna Vargas’ facials before the big day, and finished off his wedding prep with a graceful look from a Chanel Bleu Classic.

The front entrance to The Good Shepherd of Beverly Hills, the Catholic church in the Priscilla neighborhood, is decorated with an arch of white flowers so that all guests and members of the wedding party can enter grandly.

Seeing Miguel at the end of the driveway and seeing all my loved ones under one roof supporting us was both extraordinary and surreal to me.

The couple chose not to take a first look and saw each other first when the bride entered the church. Priscilla adds, “Seeing Miguel at the end of the driveway and seeing all my loved ones under one roof supporting us was extraordinary and surreal for me.” The couple then kept the traditional stuff at their party. On her father’s arm, the bride entered the Canon Vde before a Catholic priest performed a mass.

However, after Priscilla and Miguel said “I do,” the newlyweds rested while Latin music from the mariachi band filled the hall.

“We drew inspiration from the Bel Air’s Old Hollywood vibe, as well as our Latin roots by incorporating Latin music throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception,” explains the bride. Signature cocktail hour appetizers include seafood tower, shrimp tostada, fried chicken slider, and Wolfgang Puck’s signature smoked salmon pizza with caviar.

Guests sat down to a four-course meal from Wolfgang Puck. Dinner included tuna rice and tortilla soup, a main choice of iron-roasted Sonoma duck breast or mesquite-roasted sirloin, and seasonal fruit crumble for dessert. The couple also hired a flamenco dancer to entertain guests during dinner.

A five-tiered white wedding cake decorated with delicate sugar flowers added a romantic touch to the reception. With red velvet cake and carrot cake inside, it was a delicious experience for the bride and groom as they cut the dessert.
