It’s official. I have a new all-time favorite wedding. Typically, when Lisa Vorce at Oh How Charming! sends me pictures from her latest wedding, I know that they are going to be great. I know that the detail is going to be flawless, that the overall style and design is going to make me jealous in that “oh-if-only-my-wedding-was-that-pretty” kind of way.

I was lucky…my cousin is an incredible hair stylist in Boston, so getting my hair done was a no brainer. If there is one thing that I am still getting questions about, it’s my hair. So many of my friends have requested photos to replicate for the their own wedding, which is such a huge compliment to my sweet cousin, Kristine. Here are some hair and beauty shots from my own wedding. Kristine and my make-up artist, Lynne, did all of the...

Since launching Style Me Pretty over a year ago, I have received a ton of emails about my own wedding day hair and make-up. And, believe it or not, this is only the second time that I have written about the topic! So, today, I wanted to tackle all things beauty. Starting with these gorgeous images from MakeupNV, one of our Little Black Book beauty members…

To hire a make-up artist or not is a big question. It’s an expense that is...

This next board was designed by Yvette, a history buff, who looooves Marie Antoinette. Yvette is having her reception at The Westgate Hotel in a Versailles themed affair (they have a Versailles Ballroom for brides just like Yvette), complete with a Venetian hour, a chocolate fountain, a candy bar and plenty of champagne. Her style is Opulent Decadence…

Both of our next boards were designed by Kat, one for her own wedding and one for her oh-so-lucky friend. Kat is getting married in Amelia Island, Florida and although she is a pink girl all the way, she wants a wedding that isn’t baby pink nor hot pink…rather a dusty rose with plum and silver accents. She is going for a fun, Spring-like wedding with modern flair…

She designed this next board for her friend’s deep red and silver inspired...

Our next reader inspiration board comes from Lisa who is having a ballroom wedding at the same perfect spot that I had my wedding reception…the Parker House in Boston, Massachusetts!

So pretty! Lisa does have a quick question for you guys though…

I’m in love with the “cement” color that Jenny Yoo sells in shangtung. I always saw my maids in a champagne/gold-y color, and “cement” fits...
