Sometimes along the wedding journey a couple may find thesmselves in a position where a vendor isn't a good fit.  And that's ok.  I know I am not right for everyone as well.  Erica and Josh came to me after they didn't have the right fit with another vendor.  

We talked about how they work, what they needed and how to get things going.  And we created a new path forward for them.  The result was a Miami Wedding at the beautiful Ritz-Cartlon South Beach, that incorporated elements that were a testament to them as couple. 

And honestly, that's all we want.  Erica and Josh love board games, and thinking outside the box.  But the moments where Erica is smiling at something someone said or Josh is having a moment with his mom, those moments are why we do this job.

A huge thank you to Martin M. and the team at The Ritz-Carlton South Beach for incredible service all weekend.  Petal Productions designed a look that fit their aesthetic, and their budget.  Nat and Bryan Photography captured all of the moments and details perfectly.  

And most of all thank you, Erica and Josh, for allowing Fabuluxe Events to be part of your weekend of love and commitment.

 

PS.  Our favorite part was the recessional song "Africa" because these two headed to an African Safari for their honeymoon!

Uh Oh, you are attending a wedding and don't know what to wear! Well we have the answers on all things fashion. Follow the tips below and you will be "in-style"!

Fashion Do's and Don'ts for Wedding Guests

As a wedding guest, you want to look your best while respecting the bride and groom's wishes. To ensure that you make a great impression, here are some fashion do's and don'ts for wedding guests.

When it comes to weddings, there is nothing worse than being the guest who stands out for all the wrong reasons. Whether it's because you're wearing too much white or your outfit is just plain inappropriate, it's important to dress appropriately for the occasion. After all, the last thing you want is to upstage the bride or be the talk of the town for all the wrong reasons.

 

To help you avoid any fashion faux pas, here are a few do's and don'ts for wedding guests: 

  • Do dress your age. Just because you're over 50 doesn't mean you have to wear matronly clothing. However, avoid dressing like you're still in your 20s. The key is to find a happy medium that allows you to feel comfortable and stylish at the same time.
  • Do avoid wearing all white. Unless specifically told by the bride that guests can wear white, avoid it at all costs. You don't want to upstage the bride or look like you're trying to steal her thunder. Instead, opt for muted colors or prints that will complement the bride's dress without overshadowing it. 
  • Do take cues from the invitation. The invitation should give you a good idea of what kind of event it will be. If it's a black-tie affair, then you'll know to dress accordingly. However, if it's a more casual affair, then you can get away with wearing something a little more relaxed. 
  • Don't forget about accessories. Your outfit isn't complete until you've added the finishing touches. A statement necklace or flashy earrings can really help to pull an outfit together and make you look more put-together. Just be sure not to go overboard - less is almost always more when it comes to accessories. 
  • Don't wear revealing clothing. Even if it's a beach wedding, there's no need to show off too much skin. You want to look stylish and chic, not trashy or tacky. Avoid anything that is too short, too tight, or has a plunging neckline. Not only will you be more comfortable, but you'll also avoid any embarrassing fashion mishaps. 

When it comes to fashion, wedding guests often make one of two mistakes - they either dress too formally or too casually. To avoid making either mistake, take cues from the invitation and keep your outfit age-appropriate while avoiding anything that is too revealing or showy (such as all-white). With these simple tips in mind, you'll be sure to make a great impression at any wedding celebration!

Hi All!  Something that might be overlooked during wedding planning is y our skin care routine.  The stress of wedding planning can even cause your skin to change...you could get acne or dryness due to the stress.  That's why it's crucial to start a skin-care routine that works for you!

Check out our tips below!

 

Do start a skincare routine at least six months before your wedding day

It’s important to start a skincare routine at least six months before the big day. This gives your skin enough time to adjust to any new products and treatments you may be using. By giving yourself plenty of time, you can ensure that your skin looks radiant and flawless on your wedding day.

 

A good skincare routine consists of cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing. Cleansing helps to remove dirt, oil, and makeup from your skin, while exfoliating sloughs off dead skin cells. Moisturizing replenishes moisture levels and helps to keep your skin hydrated. If you start a skincare routine early, you’ll have plenty of time to experiment with different products and find what works best for your skin.

 

Exfoliating your skin regularly is an important part of any skincare routine. By removing dead skin cells and other debris, exfoliation helps to keep your skin looking healthy and radiant. In addition, exfoliation can also help to unclog pores and prevent the build-up of excess oil. As a result, regular exfoliation can help to reduce the appearance of acne and other blemishes. There are a variety of ways to exfoliate your skin, including scrubs, peels, and brushes. However, it's important to be gentle when exfoliating, as over-exfoliation can damage the delicate balance of your skin's natural oils. When used properly, exfoliation can be a powerful tool for keeping your skin looking its best.

 

In addition to a good skincare routine, there are other things you can do to prepare your skin for your wedding day. Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. Eat a healthy diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables. And get regular exercise, which will help to improve circulation and give your skin a natural glow. By taking care of yourself in the months leading up to your wedding, you can ensure that you look and feel your best on the big day.

Do find a facialist you trust and stick with them

When it comes to choosing a facialist, it is important to find someone you trust. A good facialist will be able to assess your skin and recommend the best course of treatment. They will also be able to provide advice on how to care for your skin at home. In addition, a facialist can help to identify any underlying skin conditions that may be causing problems. If you find a facialist you trust, stick with them. They will be able to provide you with the best possible care for your skin.

Do use sunscreen every day, even when it's cloudy outside

It's common knowledge that sunscreen is important for protecting your skin from the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. But what many people don't realize is that you need to use sunscreen every day, even when it's cloudy outside. Although clouds provide some protection from the sun, they don't block all of UV rays. In fact, up to 80% of the sun's UV rays can penetrate through clouds. This means that you're still at risk of developing skin cancer, even on cloudy days. So make sure to apply sunscreen before you leave the house, and reapply it every few hours for maximum protection. With a little bit of effort, you can help keep your skin healthy and looking its best.

Don't try any new products right before your wedding day

Your wedding day is supposed to be one of the most special days of your life. Everything from your dress to your hair and makeup should reflect how beautiful you are, inside and out. That's why it's important to not try any new products right before your wedding day. While you might be tempted to try that new face cream or bottle of shampoo that you just bought, there's always the risk that it will cause an allergic reaction or break you out in a rash. The last thing you want on your big day is a red, blotchy face! Stick to using the same products that you know work for you and save any experimentation for after the wedding. Your skin will thank you for it!

Don'ts for tanning:

Tanning beds are a big no-no for brides. Not only does it increase your risk of skin cancer, but it can also lead to premature aging and uneven pigmentation. We recommend avoiding self-tanners as well, as they can often leave your skin looking unnatural, blotchy, and orange. If you want a sun-kissed look for your wedding day, please go to a professional spray tanner. Not only is it safer than tanning beds, but they will also provide you with a more natural and even result. With the right products and preparation, you can have beautiful, glowing skin for your big day that won't damage your skin in the long run. 

Don't neglect your lips - make sure to moisturize and protect them from the sun!

Many people take great care of their faces, but neglect their lips. Your lips are just as susceptible to damage from the sun and wind as the rest of your skin, so it's important to protect them with a lip balm that contains SPF. In addition, lips can become dry and chapped, especially in the winter months. Be sure to keep them moisturized with a hydrating lip balm. Regular exfoliation will also help to keep your lips soft and smooth. By taking care of your lips, you can help to prevent premature aging and maintain a healthy, youthful appearance.

 

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, so you want to look and feel your best. By starting a skincare routine at least six months in advance, finding a facialist you trust, and using sunscreen every day, you can help ensure that your skin looks gorgeous on your big day. Additionally, don't forget to take precautions when to comes to the glowing bridal look and take care of your lips by moisturizing them and protecting them from the sun. And finally, avoid trying any new products right before the wedding - stick with what you know works for you!

Happy 2023 Everyone!  As we move into a new year filled with possibilities we are going to share some tips and tricks along the way.  This week we are talking about wedding dress shopping....And NO, it's not like on Say Yes to the Dress.

Now that the time has finally come to start shopping for your dress, you want to make sure you find the perfect one. But with so many different styles, fabrics, and silhouette options out there, where do you even begin? Not to worry—we're here to help. Below is a rundown of what you can expect when shopping for your wedding dress, from finding the right salon to saying yes to the dress of your dreams.

What to Expect at Your First Appointment:

When it comes to finding a salon, it's important to do your research. Start by reading reviews online and asking friends or family members for recommendations. Most bridal salons require appointments for wedding dress shopping, so call ahead and schedule a time that works for you. When you arrive at the salon, you'll be greeted by a consultant who will ask you about your vision for your wedding day. Be as specific as possible in your answers; the more information the consultant has, the better they'll be able to help you find a dress that suits your style. 

Next, the consultant will likely ask about your budget. Don't be afraid to be upfront about how much you're willing to spend on your gown; most salons have a wide range of options to suit any budget. Once the consultant has a good understanding of what you're looking for, they'll pull a selection of dresses for you to try on. 

 

Here are some things to consider:

1. You'll Try on A Lot of Dresses

This is the fun part! The average bride tries on between 15-20 dresses before finding the one. With so many different styles, designers, and silhouettes available, it's important to try on a variety of dresses to ensure you find the perfect one for you. Don't get discouraged if you don't find the one right away; it takes most brides a little bit of time (and lots of dress fittings!) to find their dream gown.

 

2. Who will accompany you?

For most brides, wedding dress shopping is a group event. But remember that there are no rules when it comes to wedding dress shopping. If you want to bring your mom, sister, or best friend with you, go for it. But if you prefer to shop alone or with just your bridal consultant, that's OK too. The most important thing is that you find a dress that makes you feel confident and beautiful. 

   

3. You May Feel a Bit Overwhelmed

As we mentioned before, with so many choices available it's normal to feel overwhelmed when wedding dress shopping. The best way to combat this is by doing your research ahead of time and having an idea of the style of dress you're looking for. This will help you narrow down your search and make the process less daunting. Trust us, once you find the perfect dress you'll know it!  

 

Choosing the Right Dress 

As you start trying on dresses, it's important to keep an open mind. You may think you want a certain style of gown only to find that something completely different looks best on you. Trust your consultant's opinion and take their suggestions into consideration; after all, they know what looks good on different body types. With so many gorgeous gowns to choose from, it can be tough to pick just one. But don't worry—you'll know when you've found THE ONE. Pay attention to how you feel when trying on different dresses. Do you feel like a princess in one particular dress? Do you love the way it looks but not necessarily how it feels? Or do you feel completely comfortable and confident in a certain style? You want to feel beautiful on your wedding day, but also comfortable enough to dance the night away. Once you've found a dress that ticks all three boxes, chances are it's THE ONE. 

 

You'll need to allow ample time for alterations. Once you've found THE dress, it's not quite time to relax just yet. Most brides need to schedule several fittings in order for their gown to fit perfectly. Alterations usually take 4-6 weeks, so be sure to factor that into your timeline.  

  

Shopping for your wedding dress should be an enjoyable experience—after all, it's not every day that you get to wear a beautiful white gown! Follow the tips above and trust your gut. Soon enough, you'll be walking down the aisle in the dress of your dreams! Congratulations and happy shopping!
