What trends do you predict for both brides and bridesmaids in the upcoming season?

I have been noticing a trend towards lace combined with very soft fabrics like silk tulle and chiffon.  Belts and textured skirts are still very important.   For bridesmaids I am loving the new print fabrics that the designers are providing. It is such a fun way to make the made of hour’s gown a bit more special.

Carola Myers

Choosing a makeup look for your wedding can be tricky.  It has to last from the time you get ready through the last dance and look great in pictures and in person. Fortunately for you D.C. based brides, Carola Myers, the extremely talented makeup artist, shares her advice on what works best for the big day.

What advice do you have for brides when choosing a makeup look for the big day?

I usually advise brides to choose a look that makes them feel special and beautiful.  Once they have an idea for their wedding day look, I can customize that look to best match their facial features.  I also discuss and provide recommendations based on other factors such as the time of year, location, time of the wedding, and wedding theme or style.  All these should be considered when determining the bridal makeup look.
