To really make your eyes stand out on your wedding day, try using a white eye shadow, or highlighter, to the inner crease of your eyes.  Sexy stars like Scarlett Johansson have been turning heads lately with this classic look, and now you can make your eyes sparkle too!  But remember: If you’re using it in combination with a darker eye shadow, leave your lips nude; too much will over power your face.  It doesn’t take much to make you look glam and gorgeous!

What can be more beautiful than adding another dimension to the traditional all white wedding with a black counterpart?

Not only do the two colors compliment each other perfectly, but bold colors such as lime, bright pink, and deep red can become great accents. These sort of eye-popping colors can serve as the theme for your wedding celebration. From the cake to the place settings, you can’t go wrong with black and white.

Put your own style into it and have fun!

Are you looking for something different to register for? Every year couples get married and register for their household needs to start their new life together. But what if you already live together or have everything you need? Registering for your honeymoon has become the new trend. We all know how expensive a wedding can be, add on the cost of traveling today and you will be spending a lot more money. A honeymoon gift registry is a great way for you and your soon to be husband/wife to get away and spend some time together. Guests will also love that they can purchase you a romantic dinner for two or a sightseeing tour instead of the same old linens and dishes. Here is a link with more information on how to register for your honeymoon www.honeymoonwishes.com
