Can You Tell a Brides Personality By Her Shoes?

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.

How Cute

A few days ago we did a wonderful post on Naomi and Larry………. Their wedding was featured on the knot website and in the new Fall Knot Magazine. So Naomi saw our post and of course loved it……although today I received these photos. As per Naomi the wedding hairstyle and bridal make-up were so beautiful that the photos we featured did not do it justice……..WOW thanks Naomi we love to hear that you loved loved how beautiful you looked and felt. So let’s see a few more shots of Naomi.

Naomi I believe you were right……look at that fantastic hairstyle….brava Michelle (her DV artist).

Once again I want to thank Ryan Phillips Photography. We so loved being a part of Naomi’s wedding. The best part though, is that we get to see Naomi often as we beautify her brides. Thanks DNT Elite Events we love your brides.

If rain drops were kisses,I could send you showers. if hugs were seas i send you oceans. and if love was a person i send you me!!

Bride in the Knot Magazine

Naomi and Larry were married last year, but we have been waiting to see the article in The Knot magazineto do our blog story. It was a special honor to have been chosen by Naomi for the bridal beauty, because she is a wedding coordinator and has worked with many vendors. So we feel privileged to have been a part of this unique day. Naomi is the N in DNT Elite events, and she is used to planning for all the others. In fact when we would call to confirm details about her wedding, she always had several other brides details to go over with us at the same time. WOW had did you do it!  Ryan Phillips was the master photographer for the day. Lets see what they say in the magazine.

 

Naomi’s hair and make-up were very fun. She has great hair and Michelle ( her DV artist) did an intricate but loose updo. It was all out of her face, and a piece of artwork in the back. Naomi’s make-up was a natural look of neutrals, pinks and mauve’s. Just enough to bring out her features. WOW she looks fantastic.

Look how important a good bridesmaids is….. to touch up your lip gloss.

Naomi has great taste in shoes

Home made jam for all

Naomi and Larry were married in Ventura at the Eucalyptus LaneThanks Naomi for choosing Design Visage.

Patricia/Keith and Ryan Phillips Photography

We had so many fantastic brides last year, it is my pleasure to bring to you as many as I can get a hold of their photos. Some photographers make it so easy for us to grab a few and Ryan Phillips is wonderful. I was looking for some spectacular shoe shots ( for my ongoing bridal shoe show) and I came across Patricia. Wow she looks glorious.

Patricia and Keith were married at the elegant Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach September 6th, 2008.

Patricia is a classic beauty….so classic bridal beauty it was. Her Design Visage artist, Julia, applied warm brown and golds on the lid with a sable tone eyeliner…lips and cheeks natural rosy.  Patricia chose a straight half up style. I believe it was just perfect.

I love the color background….when Design Visage started in the wedding business 24 years ago, many of the shots of the bride and groom were in front of a fabric backdrop that was grey or some subtle blaw tone…..photograpy has become so creative.

Cute shoes……Thanks Ryan your artistry makes our brides look even more beautiful.
