You Must Have these Bridal Accessories

There are so many items that need to be taken care of on your wedding day. The catering, the venue, the dress, jewelry, and so much more. We have compiled a list of all the bridal accessories you will need on the big day so nothing is forgotten. 

Engagement Ring and His Wedding ring 

The rings are an important part of your wedding ceremony. Be sure to bring your engagement ring as well as your soon-to-be husband’s wedding ring. To be sure it fits, check a few weeks leading up to your wedding. You want to be sure the ring fits him and doesn’t slip off while yall are both dancing the night away. 

Jewelry 

There are a couple of other pieces of jewelry that you will want to wear on your wedding day besides your ring. You want to wear the jewelry on this day that you feel the most comfortable and confident in. Take the pieces of jewelry you love wearing and take them up a notch.

Do you love wearing bracelets? If yes then layer two classy bracelets of the same style. Another way to think about your wedding day jewelry is thinking back to a formal event you went to and loved your jewelry. Then pick out similar pieces so you feel and look your best. You will want to think about bracelets, necklaces, and earrings for your big day. 

Another way to go about your jewelry is by adding sentimental pieces. You will want to think about these pieces prior to the day of to make sure they match and go with your dress.

Shoes

Another important bridal accessory, shoes. There are a couple of key things to consider when picking out your shoes that will be worn for 10 plus hours. The shoes need to go with your dress, be your style, work with your venue, and most importantly be comfortable. When ordering online be sure to buy them in advance to the wedding day because you want to be sure they fit like a glove and are comfortable. 

It is important to consider your venue because it will determine the type of footwear that is the best for you. If you are having an outdoor ceremony on grass you will want to consider how tall your heel should be because you will begin to sink if your heel is too high. Overall, your shoes should represent your personality, but also work with what areas you will be walking on. 

Headpiece 

There are a couple of different options you can go with when deciding what headwear you want. You can go with the traditional veil which always looks stunning. We are seeing flower crowns become more popular and are a great option. If you want to go for the princess look go with a statement piece and wear a tiara.

Shapewear 

What will be underneath your dress is important because you want to feel supported on your day. Consider a body shaper/slimmer, control thong, bra, and slip. 

Garter

Finally, remember to be wearing your garter if you will be having a garter toss at the reception.

Tips for Keeping Wedding Hair and Makeup Intact in the Summer

Summers in Charleston, SC is beautiful. There are so many places to visit and see from the battery to the rainbow row, to the beach. When it comes to having your wedding hair and makeup done for the summer season there are a few things to take into consideration to be sure your hair and makeup stay in place. 

Keep your Hair and Makeup Intact

The type of hair and skin you have will depend on what types of products you will need to use to help the longevity of your bridal look. If you have oily skin, you want to avoid having thick layers of product on your face. For hair, be sure to use a hairspray that is strong enough to hold the hair in place even in the humidity of your entire wedding day. 

Types of Summer Hairstyles

When thinking about what hairstyle you should do for the day of your wedding there are a few things to note. Do you sweat a lot on your back or neck? If so you should consider wearing your hair in an updo or put deodorant on your neck and back areas. The deodorant will help your hair from getting wet and flat while you dance the night away.  

How to Keep your Makeup on?

When thinking through the type of makeup you will wear on your wedding day, ask yourself what type of skin do I have? Different types of makeup work better with different skin types. Using pressed powder and powder blush will avoid your face from melting off throughout the wedding day. Also, apply thinner layers of makeup to keep a fresh look. 

Make It Last All Day

We can’t say for a fact what the weather is going to be like on your wedding day but decide what time of day to have the event. If you can avoid having a ceremony between 11 am - 2 pm do it to stay sweat-free. During that time of day, the sun is at its peak and will be the hottest time of day. If you do feel like you are beginning to sweat during your ceremony even if it is later in the day have a bridesmaid keep paper towels to pat down and absorb the sweat. You want to get the sweat right when it starts because the longer it stays on you it can start breaking down the makeup from below at the skin’s surface. 

Summer Hair and Makeup Looks

Our favorite summer looks are ones that last and don’t look heavy. A smoky eye with a bronze or plum color to add some depth without making it too dark is great. Darker lip color is great for summery weddings. Braids are a look that has become very popular and is a great option because they are humidity-resistant.

Spring Wedding Ideas

Spring in Charleston is somewhere between 71 to 77degrees. Can you say perfect? It won’t be too hot or too cold on your wedding day. April is a great month to get married in especially if you plan to marry outside in the beautiful Charleston area. Here are some spring wedding ideas. 

1. Floral-Printed Invitations

   An invitation is the first impression your guest receives to see what your wedding will be like. A floral printed invitation will show your guest the colors your wedding will be. When featuring one signature flower (or even a variety), consider including it on your invitation as an illustration, motif, or even as an envelope liner. 

2. Give the Guys Boutonnieres 

   The floral process doesn’t just have to be on the bride’s list of things to do. Have in-season boutonnieres attached to the groom’s name cards. Be sure to snap a photo of all the place cards and boutonnieres together. 

3. Specialty Cocktails 

   Adding a flower or some type of color to a cocktail gives it a touch of spring. You can have flowers inside ice cubes and attach garnishes to the glasses. You are sure to impress your guests with a stylish cocktail. 

4. Pretty in Pink

   Don’t know what color to put on your bridesmaids in? How about a pastel pink? We love the idea of having bridesmaids in different shades of light pink. Top your flower girl off with a flower crown for this time of year. 

5. Floral Arch 

   Make a statement by having a floral arch as the entryway to your ceremony or reception. It will be a true focal point of your big day because it will be beautiful and smell amazing. 

6. Wicker Baskets

   Wicker Baskets are a great addition to a spring wedding. Pair them with bright flowers and they will be gorgeous. Store dancing shoes in them so your guests can be comfortable. 

7. Swings

   Going to have kids at your wedding? Give them something to do by having swings. Cover the hanging wire with flowers and you will have an astonishing swing. Swings are also a great place for photo opportunities.

8. Bright Flowers

   When decorating your bar have it filled with bright flowers. This will help the bar stand out but still look like a spring wedding. 

9. Menu

   Have fruits and veggies on your menu because they will be in-season and taste delicious. You can also have your menu be filled with spring pastel colors to go along with the spring feel. 

10. Lets Dance

Everyone knows a fun reception takes place on the dance floor. How are you going to get your guests on the dance floor? Have a custom designed dance floor and they’ll be sure to put their dancing shoes to use.

Should You Get a Spray Tan for Your Wedding?

Your wedding day is a day that is going to be photographed so you can look back in the years to come and remember how amazing your special day was. When you look back on your photos you want to be proud and confident in how you looked that day. A wedding is a one of a kind event and you deserve to look and feel your best. So the answer to your question, should you get a spray tan for your wedding is yes. Getting a spray tan can enhance the beauty that is already in you. 

Tips for Getting a Spray Tan Prior to the Wedding

Go to a Professional 

There is a time and place for self-tanner, which is when you are in desperate need of glowing skin and do not have time to go book an appointment with a professional. Your wedding day is not the day to do self-tanner. Book an appointment for a spray tan with someone who has been in the business for a long time. Lashes and Lace offers spray tans that are of the highest quality. When going to a professional for a spray tan they will be able to give you the right amount of color to have a natural tan look. 

They can also contour your body in all the right places to give you a beautifully toned and healthy look. Do you have a strapless dress? Your spray tan artist can give your shoulders and collarbones a beautiful and defined look. Do you have a backless gown? Your back will look elongated and highlighted after your spray tan. 

Book a Trial Spray Tan

Just like how brides do a trial for their hair and makeup before the special day, it’s important to do a spray tan trial. This will show you if you like the color that your spray tan artist provides. If you do not love your color your artist will work with you to make sure you have the perfect wedding day glow. You are going to be anxious and stressed on your big day so doing a trial run of your spray tan will be one less thing to worry about. 

When should you book your trial run for your spray tan? Up to you really. You could do it as far in advance as a month or as close as two weeks to the wedding day. 

Prepare Skin for the Spray Tan 

Preparing for your wedding spray tan starts before you step foot in Lashes and Lace. Be sure to complete these spray tan tips so your spray tan is exactly what you want, an even glow that lasts into your honeymoon. 

• Ger your nails, waxing, hair, and all other pre-wedding appointments done before you have your spray tan appointment. This way your skins will be nice and clean. 

• Exfoliate in the shower a few hours before your spray tan appointment. This will get rid of dead skin so your spray tan will go on evenly. 

• When you arrive at your appointment come in without wearing any makeup or lotion. 

• Wear loose-fitting clothes to the appointment to avoid rubbing the tan 

Have your Spray Tan Two Days Before your Wedding 

Spray tans look their best at least a day or two after your appointment. This will allow your tan to even out if you do not love how it looks on the day of your appointment. You can exfoliate to even out any areas of your tan.

Book Appointment

Are you still questioning, should you get a spray tan for your wedding? Treat yourself leading up to your wedding day, You deserve it. So what are you waiting for? Contact us today at Lashes and Lace to book your spray tan appointment. We can not wait to meet you and see your wedding dreams come true.

Importance of Facials

Clear skin, white dress, hair intact, and perfect weather. This is how you picture your wedding day right? Imagine waking up on the day of your wedding and looking in the mirror seeing a big zit on your face. This is where the importance of facials comes into the picture. You want to look back at your big day photos and say, “Man I look good.” 

Removes Dead Skin Cells 

Dead skin cells clog pores, which is why it is important to get a facial treatment every 30 days in the months leading up to your wedding day. After your facial, you will have removed dead skin cells and cleared your pores. You will notice a clearer complexion when looking at all of the photos taken on the day of your wedding after your facial treatment. Other benefits of facials include refined skin texture, improved elasticity, a revival of dull/lifeless skin, and enhanced cell turnover, which can reveal brighter skin.

Anti Aging and Anti Acne 

For people that are more prone to getting acne, it is crucial for them to get a facial because it gives them the benefits of a deep clean to their congested pores, especially with extractions, speeds up the healing process, and minimizes more congestion which can lead to pimples. The importance of a facial on aging skin is it can stimulate circulation, flush excess water and toxins, moisturize, and stimulate collagen production. 

Skincare Routine 

Skincare routines are great at any stage of life, but especially in the months leading up to your wedding. It is said to be sure to have a facial no later than a week before your wedding. If you really want to be looking your absolute best start getting a facial monthly prior to your wedding. Getting into the habit of having a facial monthly is beneficial because you will start developing a skincare routine. The importance of facials is they prevent breakouts but they also allow you to relax from all the bridely duties that are on your to-do list. 

Helps you Relax

Your wedding is going to be one of the most memorable and special days of your life but a lot goes into planning the event. When you book a bride-to-be facial with Lashes and Lace you will be able to sit back and relax, which you deserve. Our signature facial includes a hand and foot massage, rejuvenating gel eye pads and take home pads, and a skin plan to get you wedding day ready.

Pictures Last a Lifetime

A picture says a thousand words and lasts a lifetime so you deserve a professional to do your hair and makeup!

This is one of the most joyous times in your life as you begin to plan your marriage and future together. You are going to have these photos for years to come and you want to look back and say, “man I look good!” 

Save the Dates 

One of the main reasons people get dolled up for their engagement photos is because they are going to use the pictures for their save the date postcards. These cards will be placed on your friend’s and family’s refrigerator so you want to be looking your best. You might also feel more comfortable sending out pictures of yourself if you have had a professional do your hair and makeup. 

Treat Yourself

Planning a wedding is a big task and a stressful one. You deserve to be pampered for a day and relax. Having a day that is about you and no responsibilities will help keep you sane. Having someone else do your hair and makeup for your engagement photos will take something off of your to-do list.

5 Must Have Holiday Makeup and Hair Looks

The holidays are right around the corner and that means holiday photos are needing to be taken and sent out to friends and family. I know some people dread holiday photos but when you have a memorable look they are more enjoyable. Here are 5 must-have holiday makeup and hair looks for 2020.   

1. Red Lips 

You are sure to stand out with a bold red lip color this season. There are lots of shades to choose from bright cherry red to oxblood, to some trendy berry shades. The key here is to experiment before you take those photos to see which shade of red looks best with your skin tone. When wearing a red lip you can tone down your overall makeup since it is so loud. Add some mascara and eyeliner and you are ready to go. 

2. Beach Waves

Don’t we all love wavy hair during the jolly season? They give a cute looking like too much of a try-hard look. Beach waves look effortlessly on all hair lengths. Spritz heat protectant on dry hair and curl your hair with an iron, then rake your fingers through the hair. You’ll have the perfect holiday look for the party. 

3. Gold Shadow 

Gold is a great color for the eyes throughout the year but be sure to wear it during the month of December. Gold eye shadow warms all skin tones which is going to flatters us all. Wear this look by applying a gold shadow just on the center of your lids. If you’re aiming to look like a glowing goddess dust a bit of gold shadow on your cheekbones and lips as well.

4. High Ponytail 

Holiday hair looks sound a bit intimidating but they can really be quite simple. Haven’t we all done a high pony at some point? We’re in luck this Christmas season because the high ponytail is a look people will be doing this year. Be sure to get all of the bumps out by using some gel then pull the hair straight back. Use some hairspray to be sure your hair is intact for those glamor shots. 

5. Messy updo

Updos are a great look for holiday pictures with the family. They are easy to do and don’t take too much time. First what you will need to do is curl your ends. Next, collect your hair as if you’re going to make a ponytail, then twist it towards your head and secure with pins. Allow for some strands of hair to hang down around your face because it is supposed to look messy. This look will leave you looking chic. 

Not up to completing your own holiday makeup and hair looks this winter? Look no further than Lashes and Lace. We can complete all needs when it comes to putting together a look. We know the importance of holiday photos and would love to take the burden off of you and help.

Useful Bridesmaid Gifts

Your bridesmaids are the people standing by your side on the big day, planning showers, showing up to the bachelorette weekend, and making sure your dreams come true throughout the wedding planning process. Bridesmaids are important and deserve a thank you gift with items they will actually use. A thoughtful gift will make them feel appreciated and loved. Where do you start when it comes to what to give your bridesmaids? Think about things you use daily that they would also use throughout their day. 

1. Bridesmaid Robes 

Who doesn’t love a robe to lounge around in and get ready in the morning? Bridesmaids robes are a great gift because they will be used on the big day and can be used long after the big day. Treat your bridesmaids with a robe as a gift and they will love them!

2. Candles 

Candles are such a simple yet useful gift. A lit candle at a gathering makes your home feel inviting. Give your ladies something they can place in their home and use when they have friends over. Candles are a great go-to when it comes to giving gifts because they can also be used daily when working around the house to give a calm feeling to the home. 

3. Bridal Gift Earrings 

Everyone could use a little extra jewelry in their lives. Gifting your girls earrings they will wear on the wedding day is a perfect gift. Your ‘maids will be happy to have received an item they will use on the day of the wedding but also glad they can wear them to events in the future. They will get great use out of the earrings they wore at your wedding in the future.

4. Tote Bag

The fourth item is a gift we all know and love. We can never have enough bags, am I right? A tote bag can be used to hold makeup, accessories, and shoes your bridesmaids will be wearing for the wedding. A tote can also be used as a work bag, storage items around the house, and an everyday bag to use when running errands. 

5. Bridesmaid T-Shirts 

T-shirts can be worn around the house, dressed up with a pair of jeans, and used of course on the bachelorette weekend. A loose-fitting tee is loved by all because you can be comfy but also look cute with the bride tribe. A t-shirt is a great addition to the loungewear of your friends. She will be sure to use the bridesmaid t-shirt long after the wedding events. 

6. Bride Tribe Sun Hat

A sun hat is an awesome gift your friends can use long after the wedding on vacation, at the lake or just to block the sun when sitting outside and reading their favorite book. Our bride tribe straw fringe hats are sure to put a smile on your bridesmaids. These hats are great for bachelorette weekends at the beach and make for a great photo opp.

Fall 2020 Bridal Makeup Trends

Seasons change and so do makeup trends. Each season brings some aspects of the old, mixed with elements of new. This fall 2020 season brings many different new trends in makeup to try, especially for The Big Day. Making sure your makeup is just the way you want it will ensure for a happy bride walking down the aisle. Look good, feel good. This is the motto every bride wants to live by. Being up to date, and following these trends for the fall season will prepare any bride for just that.   

Healthy Skin 

One thing's for sure, heavy foundation is out. Now, there is much more of an emphasis on the concept that less is more. According to the experts, this year's brides are shying away from heavy foundation coverage and are instead placing a greater emphasis on their pre-wedding skincare routine. Who doesn't want a clear face on the day of their wedding? Having a natural, radiant glow is preferred and can be done by keeping your skin clean and moisturized, and by eating a healthy diet. Getting a facial service before the wedding is also a good idea to ensure that your skin looks radiant as you walk down the aisle. Lashes and Lace offers a Bride to Be Facial, as well as several other spa services for any bride. Leave with healthier skin and a pre-wedding relaxed state of mind. 

Along with having healthy, radiant skin, and avoiding heavy layers of face makeup, a bridal makeup trend that pairs with this is a more natural makeup look. This means picking colors from a neutral makeup pallet, with slight pops light pink. A light contouring of the face with a medium brown color will also leave any bride with a natural, beautiful look that will leave them feeling beautiful for their big day. Here is a tutorial image of how to contour your face based on your specific face shape:

Brown Smokey Eye

Another bridal makeup trend to be aware of this fall is the brown smokey eye look. Blending a brown eyeshadow color in the outer corner of the eye creates this effect, and makes the eyes pop. The brown smokey eye look is being paired with gold tones in the inner corner of the eye, as well as with a more gold shaded highlighter color. A lighter, more nude lip color here is key so that the eyes are the focal point of the look.  

Highlight Your Favorite Feature

Ultimately, the bridal makeup trend you pick depends on you. Go with the look that will make you feel the most beautiful and confident you can be on your big day.

My brides always ask me for ideas on what to get their groom for their wedding! And my girlfriends always ask me what to get their spouses for Christmas. I have found the PERFECT collection of manly gifts for your special someone! My husband was in the market for a new wallet - he wanted something slim that had a rustic look but quality leather and stitching. We came across the one pictured below from groovygroomsmengifts.com

The quality is so amazing and we love the genuine leather smell of it! My husband, Quent, says it fits perfectly into his pocket as it is very flexible even when holding cards. The best part of all is that every gift from the site is able to be personalized. It will turn a good gift into an amazing and thoughtful gift when you add the touch of personalization!
