Highlight Your Best Assets

Every single woman is beautiful in her own way… and if you’re looking in the mirror and disagreeing with me, you haven’t looked closely enough! Some may have incredibly gorgeous eyes, others might have a great figure, others – beautiful hands, and so on. When choosing your bridal dress, accessories and make-up, why not highlight your asset to the best of your ability?

Eyes can be accentuated with eye shadow – and even a bridal bouquet could match a brilliant eye cololour.
Delicate arms and wrists could be shown off with a bracelet.
Beautiful skin may not need much make-up at all.
Exquisite lips can be defined wih a lip liner.
A glorious mane of hair could be left free with just a few flowers pinned here and there.
An attractive bust line can be accentuated with a plunging neckline (not too plunging!), or lead the eye with a long pendant.
Lovely hands shouldn’t be hidden behind gloves.
Gorgeous legs may invite a shorter bridal gown, or a tighter gown with a split either in back or the side.
Entrancing shoulders may like the open air in an off-the-shoulder styled dress.
Delicate ears don’t need to be overshadowed by long dangling or heavy earrings.
A tiny waist could be accentuated by a large ribbon pulling into a bow at the back.

Work out what you like most about you – and do your best to show it off on your wedding day.

Bridal Gloves to match an Era

When choosing gloves – make sure the style matches your Bridal Dress, hair, accessories, and even make-up!

The choice of gloves in this picture are perfect. They are sheer, simple and elegant. You’ll notice too that the hairstyle, veil and dress too are sheer, simple and elegant.

The era is almost 40′s – simple and practical with no unnecessary accessories (bling), yet elegant and feminine.

The simpleness of the ‘outfit’ draws the eye to the hair acessory (the only ‘bling’ present) which frames the face… thus leading to it.

Perfect!

Trashing the Wedding Dress

If you love your wedding dress and plan to keep it safely ensconsed in blue tissue paper to preserve every inch of white perfection for your daughter to wear when her time comes, or you simply wish to preserve it out of loving memories of that special day… then heed this warning: READ NO FURTHER!

An increasingly common event upon returning from a honeymoon is the ‘trash the dress’ phenomenon.

Basically the bride (and often the groom) dress in their wedding finery again, and ‘trash it all’. The ritual is captured on camera, with some gorgeous photos as a result… well, in some cases anyway!

Here are some of the ways people have ‘trashed’ their wedding coutoure:

wearing their gowns and tux’s into the surf
painting each other
paintballing
rolling down a hillside
cutting it into shreds
setting the dress on fire (hopefully while they’re not wearing it!)… and my favourite…
having a mud fight… can you imagine that!!!
