Lauren’s Ethereal Floral Head Wreath

Ethereal Floral Crown Anthony Vasquez 3

Lauren and David’s engagement photoshoot is sweet perfection. You may remember the tutorial and flower crown recipe we shared when this charming bride-to-be asked us to design an ethereal, bohemian-chic floral head piece for her engagement session.

We got to know Lauren’s lovely sense of style while working on designs for her big day next June. For this engagement session, she envisioned blush roses and shared an inspiration image from a gorgeous French wedding. Instead of standard roses, we suggested delicate, light-pink spray roses, and ethereal baby’s breath. Cool-toned, seeded eucalyptus complimented the intricate, ivory petals of tiny wildflowers, including poetically-named astrantia million stars…

We Love: Rouge Louboutin Lip Color

Christian Louboutin Lipstick

New Rouge Louboutin Lip Color looks like it was made for brides! Inspired by Art Deco objet d’art and by Middle Eastern antiques, the weighty, metal case is laced with a silk ribbon. It takes us back to the glamorous days when every girl carried beautiful compacts and lipstick cases, meant to be seen and refilled. This sense of detail and glamour is something we don’t always bother with anymore for the every day, but for your wedding day? Absolutely! And imagine surprising all your bridesmaids with these treasures

This lipstick comes in three silky finishes, from satin to matte, and a gorgeous range of colors. Our pick? Bikini, a blush-pink, perfect to pack for your honeymoon.

Floral Crown for Engagement Photo Shoot

floral-crown-recipe-brideBride-to-be Lauren asked us to create a floral crown for her engagement shoot and we were more than happy to say yes! Flower crowns are wildly popular with chic brides right now. Wearing blooms close to the face brings out every woman’s natural beauty and evokes tradition; adorning hair with fresh flowers, for weddings and festivals, was just as on-trend in ancient Greece and Medieval Europe as it is today.

Wedding Day Glow

After last year’s cold and rainy summer we deserved all the sun we’ve enjoyed so far this year. With less than a month before Labor Day, fall brides should start pampering their sun kissed skin. For that wedding day glow schedule a monthly deep cleansing facial or for those on a budget you can do it yourself or have a spa party at home. About a week before the big day go in for your pre-wedding facial but make sure to give your skin enough time to heal if you’re prone to redness or breakouts. For that radiance that screams bride get an oxygen mask or spray the day before. You’ll be sure to get many compliments on your skin.
