— The Beckley area has a new celebrity on its hands.
Already known for his bridal style work on the pages of “Elegant Bride,” “Washingtonian,” “The Washington Post,” “New York Times,” “Martha Stewart Living,” “Town and Country,” and “In Style Magazine,” Monte Ray Durham’s latest celebrity venture is on national television.
Durham is director of Glade Springs’ Spa Orange and Studio M, and already, the well-traveled Oak Hill native has a large fan base at Glade Springs, where he provides clients with memorable hair styles and make-up.
But Durham is also an in-demand bridal image consultant and creative style director. He pays attention to details from the start of wedding planning to the very last minute of the big event, and he executes events with the kind of precision worthy of sharing on a television reality show.
Watch for the complete story on Durham, coming this weekend in The Register-Herald.
