Bridal Makeup Tips

Lets talk about some makeup tips that all brides-to-be should know!

1) The Key is To Look Like Yourself, Only Better - It was widely reported that Kate Middleton chose to do her own wedding makeup because she wanted Willi...am to recognize her as she walked down the aisle. If you wear little makeup in your regular life, your wedding day is not the day to try out a smokey eye.

2) Should You Have A Pro Do Your Makeup - Make sure to consult with the artist and do a trial run before your big day. You don't want your wedding day to be a big surprise, makeup-wise.

3) The Most Important Part of Your Makeup: Your Skin Tone - It doesn't matter how big your eyes are or how glossy your lips look, if your skin looks blotchy or oily, you won't look your best on your wedding day. Your first priority should be making sure your skin looks great, then move on to your eyes, cheeks and lips.

4) Pick Your Eyes or Your Mouth - A basic rule of makeup is to either play up your eyes or your mouth. Play up both and you risk looking like a clown. So if you decide to go all-out on your eye makeup, keep your lips light with a gloss or a light pink lipstick. If you want to play up your full lips, do so with a bright or deep color, but keep your eyes relatively light.

5) Two Words: Waterproof. Mascara. - Perhaps you will be in that 5 percent of women who don't tear up at some point at their wedding, but if you're not, today is the day to whip out the waterproof mascara. And ask your maid of honor to carry a tissue for you.

Great Gatsby Themed Style Shoot

For this photo shoot we were really inspired the romance found in the Great Gatsby.   We wanted to portray the idealized and ethereal love.  The custom beaded English knit gown is both airy and light, giving a sense of wistful fancy, almost as if the bride could breeze right through the beautiful garden or wildflowers.  The bride is introduced by the adorable ring barer and is then escorted by her spritely flower girl.  The delicate doily accents bring a whimsical innocence to the mix while the pops of color in the decorations and flowers add sweetness.  Speaking of sweet, the 7-layer wedding cake is as intricate and beautiful as it is delicious.  Other delicious confections included the white cupcakes, pink lemonade, pink gumballs, cotton candy, and of course the sticks of rock candy—which served to bring out the feeling of vintage nostalgia.  Another addition comes from the lovely stationary;  the invitations, the menu and place cards all add to the vintage feel.

Tip for Tuesday!

Signature Plates elevate the guest book to an art form by having guests write on plates to be later mounted on your wall. Choose white dishes for the well-wishes, which show up nicely when inscribed with metallic paint pens. After the event, arrange the signed plates with patterned ones in a random grouping for a sophisticated feel.
