Illusion bodice detail.

This a very daring and sexy look, the floral detail covers up the right places. What I like about these designs is that they are not too full on. The nude design is very tastefully placed.

3D Floral Appliques:

This detail is very romantic and can bring a wedding dress to life. Whether the floral embellishment is a small feature on the dress or throughout.This trend is sure to be a show stopping look.

Feathers:

This is just oh so glamorous and it shouts "HOLLYWOOD" to me. Add a twist of elegance to your look with this trend  This look like the floral appliques can be just a touch of feather detail or full on.

Keyhole Neckline:

If you like the look of a high neck dress, but would like something a bit different, then the keyhole trend is for you, it adds some daring to the dress without being too risky.

Over Skirts:

This subtle add-on brings a fairytale feel to the dress. The overskirt is sheer,soft and floaty and it also adds another element to the a-line dress.

The suit/two piece

Not every bride wants to wear a dress, so the suit/two piece is one to try. This look would also work for the day after the wedding. I can see this look being very popular among brides that want to step away from the traditional.

Thigh-High Slits:

This look is very Angelia Jolie (remember that dress). The dress can feature one or two side slits.I can see these look at a wedding abroad or a City wedding, it is Simply elegant.

Tiered Skirts:

Tiered skirts will add texture and movement to a dress. It definitely has a princess look to it and can be very dramatic depending on the style.



Alvina Valenta 




Marchesa




Monique Lhuillier




Sheer Skirts:

The sheer bottom reveals a little (offers a peekaboo effect). This is another glam look for sure.

Alternative Hen Party Ideas

Hello all, for this post, I am going to share some fabulous alternative hen party ideas. This post has been on my to-do list for a long time now, if you're stuck on ideas for something different then don't worry because I have you covered, from Gin School to Glamping and everything in between. These venues and activities will ease the stress of planning so enjoy the read. Organising a hen party can be a very difficult and tiring task. If you have been tasked as the hen party organiser you probably have a sense of the pressure already. My top tip is to make the whole planning process as easy as possible for yourself, especially if you're not used to planning and organising. The venue and activities that you choose will help take that stress away so ensure that you choose well. Also bear in mind that the Bride needs to feel special and relaxed. Even if there is mayhem going on in the background don't let her see it. Listoke Distillery & Gin School:...

Finally Contouring is getting the push

Anyone else as happy as me to see that contouring is not as popular in the makeup world. I personally could never get used to it. I think it looks amazing in photographers or on a night out when done right. If you prefer a more heavy look. I believe strobing has been around before it was just called highlighting then. So do not be confused!!! For me I prefer a more natural look when it comes to makeup. The whole idea with strobing is that you can see the skin and it is not heavily covered up.  I have been using the Mac Strobe Cream for a few months now. You can also strobe with powder.  Mary-Loumanizer by the Balm Mac Soft and Gentle  What I like about Mac Strobe? It makes the skin look radiant,fresh and healthy (for tired Mammies like me it's a must) It's easily applied. It's a no fuss product, there is no messing with it. It can be worn alone or added after foundation is applied. With some blush you are good to go. ...

Boyne Hill House Estate Your Exclusive Wedding Venue

Hello all, I am back with my Wedding Venue Feature. I will be putting the spotlight on different venues that I know you are going to love. The last feature I did went down really well so I decided to do it again, sure any excuse to go visit venues and I am gone. Recently I visited   Boyne Hill House Estate this exclusive wedding venue has been on my radar for a while, so I was very excited to go visit it. Boyne Hill Hosue is located in the picturesque surroundings of Co.Meath, it dates back to the 18th Century so you can just imagine the charm and history that it beholds. The drive up to the Estate is very beautiful and tranquil. I couldn't help but picture how a couple would feel making their way up to the Estate. If I had all the good feelings about it I know a lot of newly engaged couples will. When you drive up the roadway to the Estate, the historic house peaks out from the woodlands. I will a...
