Love it!!! Here a few pics of the bride and her new hubby Josh who were married in the gorgeous chapel at Tampa Covenant Church! Jessica and Sylense it was a pleasure!!

Seaside Inspirations

For all you brides out there who are thinking of a seaside wedding or maybe just like that feel, this is the perfect video for you. Created by Simply Divine Events and shot by Tampa Wonderworks,Anglo Coutoure exclusive from the fall 2010 Collection.

The video is featured this month on The Sassy Bride blog, so check it out!!!http://thesassybride.net/ there are alot of helpful creative ideas that you may want to incorporate in your wedding.

Leftover Films and the 48 hour film project!!!

I have to say, this was one of the funnest projects I've ever had the chance to work on! I'm thinking I see more film work in my future:) I think what made it such a blast was we had such an awesome team of professionals working on the project. The film makers were Bryan and Tracy Coward from Tampa Wonderworks and the photogs on the job were Mariana and Khaled from Kismis Ink Photography. Lots of other incredible talent joined them to put together our film Fugitive Hunters. The competition will end this thursday evening and we will find out if our film wins the competition, so cross your fingers!!! Even if we don't win, it was well worth it, what a blast I had with all involved!! Thank you for letting me use my talent and be creative!!! You all rock!!! Her are some photos of my hair and makeup work transforming the actors/actresses into characters, soooo fun:)

Love Notes

We always love receiving "love notes" in the mail from past brides and clients. A very sweet one came yesterday from Joanna, who was married to Scott in June at the Vinoy Resort in St. Petersburg. What a beautiful venue and what a stunning bride inside and out!! Hope and myself enjoyed spending the wedding day styling Joanna and her bridesmaids and lovely mom. Thank you Joanna for having us out, the pleasure was all ours!!

"Holly, I just wanted to thank you and your sister for making my mother, bridesmaids and myself beautiful for my wedding! My hair and makeup came out perfect, just like I envisioned. You were a joy to work with and I will definitely recommend you to friends! Thanks again, Joanna"

Summer Wedding Makeup

Looking at blogs today and came across this one, in which I totally agree with the advice for brides that is given here (check below). For summer makeup Bronze and Golds are a fabulous way to punch up the neutral tones worn by many brides without feeling over dramatic or too bold. We recommend a black liquid liner along with some false lashes (which can be done very natural) to make the eye the stand out feature. To tone down the eye, use neutral browns and add a pop of bronze on the inner corner of the lid. Use pencil liner instead of liquid which will give a more subtle look. Be sure to use a stronger lip color if toning down your eyes. As you always need a standout feature!! Be sure to add some bronzer to the face and a nice shimmer highlight on top of the cheekbone above your blush to give you that sunkissed look. Here is an example of a bronze/gold beachy look we did this week on the gorgeous Adrianna.
