From JCG Events, LLC… The Epic Hotel is an enchanting venue nestled in downtown Miami with breathtaking views of the Miami city skyline. When Stephanie and Kenneth first approached us they already had their venue and a few of their vendors in place but needed help in bringing their vision for their wedding day to life. We facilitated this process by putting together an inspiration board for them. The venue was the source of this inspiration; the existing wall covered in mother of pearl and the ceiling made up of glass sphere light fixtures hanging in different shapes and sizes. With some amber uplights on this wall we created instantly a beautiful warm shimmering glow to the room.

As guests began to arrive a table that contained deliciously scrumptious candy apples greeted them. The candy apples served both as favors and escort cards. Petal Productions assisted in executing our vision by creating four different all white floral centerpieces for the tables. To add a touch of black and interest to the room some of the arrangements were placed in black vases. The table numbers were photos of their beloved dogs that had the numbers incorporated around them by using Photoshop. The cake was a design created inspired by the custom letter pressed invitations designed by Smashing Cards. The gorgeous invitations included a design of gradient champagne colored dots that were made to incorporate the glass globe lights from the venue. The calligraphy script balanced the dot pattern by conveying a soft and romantic invitation with yet a modern feel. The invitations were wrapped with a champagne ribbon and custom monogram and enclosed in a black envelope addressed in white calligraphy and a collection of vintage stamps. The menu cards and program were created in the same design as the invitation to tie everything together. The menu cards were circle cut to fit perfectly below the glass- beaded chargers.

Guests danced the night away with the help of Mike Sipe Entertainment’s DJ Live concept that consists of a DJ accompanied with various artists, saxophone, percussionist and singer to create a live entertainment experience. The entire wedding was beautifully captured by Gregory Paul of Gregory Paul Photography and Blue Shore Productions video.

Some tips from Nikol…

Summer is here, heavy makeup is not. Keep your look Fresh and clean with these must have tips from Fresh Beauty Studio.

Clean skin is always your first step to looking young and polished. You want to have a simple yet effective skin care regimen. Always invest in the best ingredients and keep an eye out for antioxidants, AHA’s, enzymes from fruit. Vit C etc. Your skin must be exfoliated at least once a week to keep a youthful glow. To feed your skin make sure you are putting on a serum suited to your skin type. We love Eminence Eight Greens Youth Serum. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize your skin. We love Crème de la Mer for a dewy look.

Use a tinted moisturizer with SPF. You will get beautiful coverage that will even out your complexion without adding a lot of weight.
Cream shadow is light and dewy for summer. It gives your eyes that sparkle. Try NARS cream shadow duo in Summer Time. You can take this look into fall by trading out your cream shadow for a powder shadow and going more bronze and gold as seen on Oscar de la Renta and Roberto Cavalli fall 2008 runway shows.

Hydrate lips: I can’t live without Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream. I recommend this to all my brides for the perfect kissable pout.
Mascara and gloss are your new BFF’s. To keep your look simple coat your lashes twice with black mascara (Lash Blast is amazing by Cover Girl) and gloss up those lips. At Fresh Beauty Studio we keep it old school with our line of TINte Cosmetics. The lip tins and glosses bring you back to your childhood. One of our brides favorites is a lip gloss named Cake and it smells good enough to eat. We are always finding ways to keep you feeling young.

Lashes: If you aren’t up for wearing mascara this summer, try treating yourself to lash extensions. Believe it or not, I am a lash certified stylist..at FBS we apply Xtreme Lashes, a service that is so popular for Summer brides.

Thank you so much, Nikol! Nikol’s studio is filled with tons of great producst and services so if you are in the area, definitely stop by…she offers facials for the bridal party, lunchtime peels for the busy bride-to-be and so much more. Fresh Beauty Studio also has an online shop filled with oh-so-cute favors and fashions that you should absolutely check out!
