Makeup and Skin Care


All eyes will be on you on your wedding day, of course you'll be wearing the perfect dress, the shoes, the jewelry, but what about your skin??? in order to get a gorgeous glowing look on your face you have to take care of your skin..

Here are a few great tips from Bride.com for your skin to get it ready for your big day!

Makeup & Skin Care

Flawless finish
Start a skincare regimen at least six months before your wedding day. If you don't already have one, visit a dermatologist who will help get you on track.

Skin savers
Purchase products that work with your skin—not against it. Harsh scrubs or cleansers will only make sensitive skin break out more, while mild cleansers won't effectively clean oily skin.

Top service
Get regular facials at a reputable salon. If you don't have a facialist, seek recommendations from friends and brides in your area.

Sun safety
Wear sunscreen every day. Seeking out a moisturizer with a built-in SPF (15 or higher, please!) is a foolproof way to make sure you incorporate it into your daily routine.

ABC’s of skin care
Don't forget that healthy skin doesn't only come from cleansers and moisturizers. Eat right, exercise and get plenty of sleep.

Best face forward
Use makeup to accent your best feature: Draw attention to your eyes, for example, by using subtly contrasting colors (think slate blue for brown eyes and soft violet for blue eyes).

A bit bolder
Your wedding day is not the time to attempt a new look—you want to feel comfortable in your own skin. But realize you’ll want to apply your makeup a bit darker than normal. Photographs can make you look washed out.

Hands on care
Starting weekly manicures at least two months prior to your wedding will give you the healthiest nails possible. Apply cuticle oil and moisturizer regularly at home.

Smile bright
Visit your dentist for professional whitening treatments, or use whitening toothpaste and a do-it-yourself bleaching kit at home.

Wax pretty
Schedule final waxing appointments a week or two before your big day. If you’ve never had your eyebrows shaped, start two months in advance to perfect the look.


Absolutely Glowing look!


Achieve the perfect hair and makeup for your wedding...

Color Palette Inspiration


Remember, the colors that you’ll choose for your wedding will set the tone for your entire event.

On your first meeting with Wuilmark Events, couples determine the overall they will like to have for their wedding. Traditionally, a couple will have two colors that they use for their theme. The color theme will be consider and used for things such as bridesmaid’s dresses, flowers, décor, table linens, the cake, and even your invitations.

When choosing your colors keep in consideration the following

What mood do you want to create?
A romantic feel with soft colors
An elegant feel with pastel colors
Or
A dramatic mood with vibrant colors

The location of your ceremony and reception
It’s a good idea to select your colors after you know the location of your ceremony and reception for the wedding, otherwise there is a risk that what you go with can clash with what is in place at those locations. Then those colors can become a distraction for you and your guests instead of a lovely way to enhance the beauty of your wedding day.

The season of the year
For example in the spring and summer season lighter colors are more appealing.

In the fall and winter dark colors seem to emerge more often.

You want to make the same approach for your wedding colors as well. You own background may be the biggest influence though when it comes to the colors you will use.

Cultural traditions
Many people and event cultures associate different colors with different meanings. If that is something that you do, then it is only fitting you will want to use colors in your wedding that are reflective of your feeling you wish to share for the day. If a particular color influences your mood or your emotions then they may draw you to them when selecting the colors you are going to use

It is a good idea to explore what you can find in the two colors you have selected before you commit to them for the wedding. You can also check the following website for more color inspiration

The Knot, Style me Pretty, Get Married, Project Wedding and many more..Those website offer color pairings as well as the latest trends in selecting your wedding colors.

Advice from Wuilmark Events

It was a great day today for a Monday!

Early today I met couple of my friends(Chris & Joel)for lunch. They both know that I have an event planning company and they know that I'm very created and always planning the next event...So while we were eating, talking and having a great time, suddenly Joel asked me two questions that stayed on my mind and I want to share with you!

Joel asked:Some people think hiring an event planner is an extra expense. Why do we need a wedding planner?

I said: Well, clearly my opinion of wedding planners is extremely high.

If you are planning a wedding you should be a guest on your own wedding. This is the day for you and your groom to be on the spotlight, so why would you try to do it all yourself or burden yourself? You and your spouse, friends and family are the real guests.

Hiring a wedding planner can make a great impact on how smooth everything goes on, on your wedding day. Brides and grooms are so much more relaxed, stress free and on time when they have someone to take care of all the details.

Joel asked:
Where do you get your inspiration?

I said: My inspiration comes from everywhere!

From fashion magazines, wedding magazines, blogs, wedding photographers, you name it! It's amazing to know how much info you can get from all those sources and create something with it!

Ok, that's all for now, hugs and kisses see you all next time...
