50 Shades of White

October 3, 2013 8:16 pm /

weekly-deal-wedding-dressThere are so many options when it come to picking the style of the bridal dress but what about the shade of white.   Traditionally, Brides wore only white for their first wedding. Now brides are wearing any shade of white that appeals to them and their skin tone.  Here are a few guidelines as seen in The Knot Fall 2013 magazine.

Dark skin can wear stark white or almost any shade

Medium with olive tone skin can wear champagne and diamond white

medium with yellow tone skin can wear off-white or creamy ivory

fair and pink-toned skin can wear ivory

When trying on your dress consider the lighting in the bridal salon and your own makeup application. You may want to pull up your hair to consider different hairstyles like all up,  half up and down or all down.  Veils can complement the dress for the ceremony but removed for the reception.

As seen in The Knot Magazine Fall 2013, page 390.

A bridal look is a very personal thing and many brides enjoy getting pampered with makeup application and hairstyling.  On the other hand, which bridal look to choose may be a daunting task for some.  So I’ve listed some questions to ask yourself when working with your stylist.

1.  Is the makeup and hair timeless and appropriate to the dress style, venue and theme.  Remember you’ll have to look back at these photos and show them to your children and grandchildren.

2.  Is the look a trend that will come and go quickly.

3.  Is the hairstyle complementing your facial shape.

4.  Is the eyeshadow color and application, your personal style or a fashion look.

When starting the Bridal Beauty Process

When starting the bridal beauty process, it is a good idea to look in the mirror and see what needs to be enhanced and what may need a little camouflague.  Longer hair is easier with most bridal up do’s, so you might consider growing your hair out starting today.  This should be followed by a trip to your hairstylist to discuss whether highlights, lowlights, treatments and a light trim are needed.  Next, the texture of your skin is obviously very important on your wedding day.  Begin by getting facials once a month at least 3 months before your wedding, this will help the makeup go on smoothly and last longer.  Check out bridal and fashion magazines, Pinterest and the Knot to find the latest bridal looks appropriate for you and your wedding venue.  Book your trial session about 1 to 3 months before your wedding, to ensure the look is perfect for you.  Make a realistic fitness plan and work out with a buddy to help keep you on track.  The two areas of your body to pay close attention to when wearing your wedding dress are your shoulders and abdominals.

That’s it for now.  Remember to enjoy the journey, not just the destination.

Hawaii Wedding Destination Found

February 18, 2013 1:45 am /

destination wddingMy brides from all over the world choose Oahu as their wedding destination for good reason.

For over 15 years, I’ve met brides from Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia and even Russia.  On an average, I will have styled at least 3 brides a week from another country and they all have one thing is common.

They’ve chosen Oahu as their destination wedding for the convenience and beauty that the Hawaiian islands has to offer.  It’s a service-oriented island which most people find out that they can book anything and everything their heart desires, yes, even a small or large wedding.   The  island’s magic are constantly being captured  in the hearts and the photos of the bridal party.  Plus,  everyone wants a beautiful backdrop of a perfect wave, waterfall or beaches of the islands.

That’s were I come in, I know most destination wedding spots and offer suggestions on bridal makeup and hairstyles conducive to  time of day, lighting, location and weather conditions.  All the while, keeping in mind the bride’s comfort level; in order to  meet her goals.  My destination brides are always relaxed and come armed with lots of sunscreen to avoid any skin problems.  So if being ” in the moment” and enjoying your wedding with spectacular photos is something you long for check out Hawaii as your destination to say “I do”.
