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.

Bellingham Castle Wedding Venue

The Entrance Hello all, this post feature will be the final one for now as part of my wedding venue feature. With this feature the spotlight is on Bellingham Castle which I fell in love with it, of course, each of the venues has charmed me in different ways. As you will see from the pictures the was shining for my visit which made it extremely easy for me to take pictures of this breathtaking venue. I received a very warm welcome and I was shown around by the lovely Ciara. She explained that herself and Patrick look after the needs of Brides & Grooms. They are on hand for the run up to your big day. The Castle is, as you would expect, extremely opulent. The Castle was renovated and re-opened in 2014. There are up to 150 weddings a year here, so you guessed right, it is a highly sought after venue. As always early booking is essential, do not put booking your venue on the ...

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. ...
