My Three Favorite NYC Designers

I love visiting New York at least a few times a year.  As an event coordinator, I think it’s important to stay on top of trends on both coasts.  I was so excited to have had the opportunity to visit my friends at Reem Acra, Vera Wang, and Monique Lhuillier.  It’s safe to say that it’s every woman’s fantasy to be surrounded by GLAMOROUS couture wedding dresses!  I’m beyond thrilled to be able to share some of the pictures I took from the boutiques with you.

Searching for the Perfect Invitation

So many invitations... which one to choose!?  I went to the most adorable boutique in La Canada, Flintridge this past week called Angel's Nest.  I was warmly greeted by Yvonne and she showed me the endless collections of wedding invitations.  This adorable boutique has any invitation you can think of, from baby shower, to graduation, to beautiful wedding invitations.  

After browsing through several books of invitation samples, we narrowed it down to some favorites for one of our brides.  

Take a look!

Wedding Hairstyle: Is an Updo for me?

Wedding Hairstyle: Is an updo for me?

There are many brides out there who can’t figure out how to wear their updo for their wedding.  Here are some tips to help our gorgeous brides decide on a hairstyle for their special day.

Updo:

Pros: There aren’t too many occasions to wear your hair up, so why not go all out on your wedding day.  Many different styles available; it lasts all day thanks to hairspray and pins. 

Cons: It takes a lot of pins to hold the hair intact so it may feel heavy and uncomfortable.

When choosing an updo, here are some face shape tips:

Oval Shape: Almost anything works for this face shape.  Either completely pulled back, soft waves or bangs!

Round Shape: A hairstyle with accents will look great.  Anything with curls or bangs to elongate the face shape.

Heart Shape:  Side parting or side bangs works great with a heart shaped face. 

Rectangle Shape:  Pulled back hair looks great!  You can always add some side short bangs.

Triangle Shape:  Some nice volume on the crown of the head would really make a difference.  It will elongate and soften up the face.

Square Shape:  Wavy or curly updos look the best for square shaped faces.  It looks softer when there are loose wavy strands around the face.

Good luck with your hairstyle!
