It’s Monday, so let’s see some fun bridal looks. That is the best part of weddings, each bride can choose to be anything she desires. There is not a right or wrong look, just her look. There are so many different bridal hairstyles and wedding make-up looks.
I hope you got some fun inspiration. Call Design Visage with all your ideas.
Been in business for 24 years…blogging just over 24 days. LOVE IT! I have put off learning or even understanding the reason blogging for 24 months. Who would want to read my diary…more importantly who’s diary do I want to read! Turns out everyone, well not everyone but lots and lots. In the 24 years of business I have had some good business friendships with soooo many in the wedding industry. Turns out…I really did not know them very well. I have learned and become so much closer to so many of my favorite wedding artists, and met many new ( to me), and I now get the opportunity to see as often as I want their latest work. I can even appreciate our competitions work….
So in grabbing some of our brides photos from the photographers blogs to add to our Design Visage blog…….what caught my eye was the shoes (among other things). Since I, like many others, am shoe crazy, I started a little wedding shoe book and today I am going to show a few to you. But don’t fear, everyday there is a wedding with a new pair of shoes to share. So I suppose this will be an ongoing shoe/show.

I want to thank all the fantastic photographers for their creativity and the brides for choosing such “hot” shoes. The photography artists: Jasmine Star Ryan Phillips; Scott Nelson; Victor Sizemore; Bonnie Tsang; Next Exit; Evoke; Jessica Claire; Jacob Galleries; David Abel; Joshua Caine; Palos Studios; Joe Photo; Jason Q Tran; Garrett Photography; Boutwell Studio; Amelia Lyon; Jan Garcia; Duke Images………..THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU…..and since their are always new brides with cool shoes, watch out for another Shoe Show.
This is always a fun weekend of weddings. Americans choose this holiday for many different reasons to wed. One big reason is the extra time their guests have for travel to the wedding location and of course extra honeymoon days. Some just like the festive time of the year for an anniversary. Some couples are so patriotic, they want to dress the part. Whatever the reason when I think of the 4th of July I get a warm feeling inside of sunshine, hot dogs, yellow flowers, kids on bikes, beach bar-be-que, laughter in the summer ocean waves, good friends, fireworks, and our beautiful flag that flys in honor of our freedom and lifestyle. Not a bad day for a wedding.
Did you see this on the Internet last week……I just had to document it. Apparently 48 hours prior to the wedding lliana Jackson and Jeremy Fierstien found out the horrible news that they both had the Swine Flu…….Doctors assured them that the guests would not be at risk. So with matching face masks and surgical gloves the wedding went on as planned. Check it out.

Erica Jong, O Magazine, February 2004
I love to read. I love how it opens my mind. I love how it calms my spirit. I love how new knowledge makes me voracious for more. I love how it makes me humble. I love how it makes me strong. I love how I can find wild and crazy information that you will love.
Beauty Tips and Trends….a long time ago!
THEN: A SUNTAN WAS THE SIGN OF HEALTH AND STATUS
In the 1920′s Coco Chanel came back from a vacation with bronzed skin. Like fashion today, it caught on and symbolized that one was wealthy enough to afford a leisurely outdoor life…so the bronzed beauty began. By the 1930′s sunlight was said to be the cure of many ailments, such as acne and tuberculosis. This was the “baby oil” fase that continued through the 1980. I can remember lathering up in oil to lye in the sun and I have very fair skin…o the sunburns.
NOW: a little sun kissed face can look glorious, although even the slightest tan represents injury to your skin, your bodies largest organ. When you think about it a tan is your skins way of creating a protective layer to diminish further damage. Put that way…not so pretty. The vitamin D you receive just driving your car or walking into your house from the car completes your quota. Today, thank goodness, it is all about sunscreen. Consider an airbrush tan….
THEN: ACID EYEWASH AND LASH TRIMS FOR SPARKLING EYES
An article in the legendary McCalls magazine recommended a daily eyewash of Boracic acid with a few drops of Camphor in hot water to keep your peepers glittering. Topped off with a monthly lash trim.
NOW: Use a saline solution for the occasional eye irritation and forgo the trimming for a lash supplement such as Revtilash. Yes it really works. Some do have to trim their lashes after a few months.
THEN: Sleep with a meat muslin mask for a young looking complexion. Place lean strips of beef over the entire face leaving a hole for eyes and nose. Secure with the muslin and leave on over night.
NOW: Although the concept is correct, there are less messy to give your skin a dose of moisture and protein. From yam facials to seaweed masks, you can keep your complexion looking lush with an esthetician or a Jar.
THEN: DARKEN YOUR LASHES WITH VASELINE AND COAL DUST.
NOW: Although still used in some rural areas, we now have the modern day mascara. The founder of Maybelline, T. L. Williams observed his sister with this Vaseline/coal routine. In 1912 he came out with a cake mascara and by the early 1950′s the tube mascaras were on the market.
THEN: THE THICKER THE CREAM THE BETTER THE HYDRATION. Women used to slather their faces with the thickest cream possible and sleep with them overnight.
NOW: More does not mean more hydration. In fact heavier creams can create a barrier on the face and actually lock out moisture leaving all the dead skin cells and creating a dryer skin texture. Serums and light weight creams created for your skin type will do the trick.
I hope you found this interesting and amusing. I did.
