Personalized Bridal Party Gifts

Personalized bridal party gifts are the best way to show your girls that you put thought and time into picking the perfect accessory for them. Your bridesmaids spend so much time, money, and effort making your day as best as possible so it’s important to remember to show them some love!

One of our favorite vendors for unique bridesmaid’s gifts is www.BridesmaidGiftsBoutique.com

In our opinion, they have the best selection & most reasonable prices. Shipping is super quick and the customer service is top notch! I also really love that you don’t have to have a minimum. This company caters to any size bridal party!

The website is also super easy to navigate which is a huge plus! The photos and information are clear and accurately describe the products.

We recently ordered personalized wine cups for our company and are BEYOND thrilled with them! The quality is incredible - drinks stay cold for just as long as they do in my name brand cups. The color quality and logo quality were also precise and beautiful.

When ordering, please tell them the ladies at Lashes and Lace sent you!

How Long Do Eyelash Extensions Last and How to Remove Eyelash Extensions

How Long Do Eyelash Extensions Last and How to Remove Eyelash Extensions

Getting wedding eyelash extensions done is exciting.  Your new lashes will be longer, thicker, fuller, and dramatic, requiring less or no eye makeup to create a striking look. How long do eyelash extensions last? The answer depends on several factors, including the care you take care of them. 

Longevity of Semi-Permanent Applications

There are two options for enhancing your lashes- semi-permanent and permanent eyelash extensions. The most commonly applied extensions are semi-permanent. There are several options with semi-permanent lashes, from synthetic to mink extensions. All are applied similarly with surgical glue, to the existing lashes.  The semi-permanent lashes will grow out with the natural lashes and shed as they fall out. The eyelash extension glue is incredibly strong and designed to resist sweat, water, and wear. Your aesthetician can show you how to remove eyelash extensions, or you may wish to simply have it professionally done following your big day. 

What about Permanent Extensions?

Permanent extensions are completely different from semi-permanent, as they are implanted in a surgical procedure. They are normally offered to patients who have suffered hair loss related to some disease or condition like chemotherapy or alopecia. Permanent eyelash extensions are durable, lasting  a lifetime, and require almost no special care, but they are also expensive. Semi-permanent extensions are more appropriate for most people. 

Removing Your Extensions

The best method of eyelash extension removal is to have your aesthetician handle the removal for you. It takes just a few minutes, and there’s no danger of damage to your natural lashes. Your technician will use a gentle, specialized chemical to dissolve the eyelash extensions glue and remove the extensions, leaving your natural lashes intact and healthy. With proper care, your eyelash extensions will provide you a dramatic look for your special day, and when you’re ready to get your natural look back, are easily removed.

Popular Wedding Hairstyles

Popular Wedding Hairstyles

The most popular wedding hair styles this year run the gamut from formal to casual, from sweeping updos to artfully tousled pony tails to half-up half-down hairstyles to smooth, shining braids. The style you choose for your big day depends upon the formality of your event and the texture and length of your own hair. Your stylist will want to see pictures of what styles you have in mind, and will work with you to create a style that’s uniquely yours for your big day.

Long Hair

Wedding styles for long hair are diverse and versatile. You may choose an updo, a cascading style, or a half-up, depending upon your personal style and the look you’re going for. Our stylists will go over pictures of various styles with you and help you decide what will best fit your facial features, hair texture, and personal taste. With long hair, it’s possible to create a cascading half-updo with a smooth bun or braid at the crown of the head, with tendrils of hair hanging romantically down. Or, you may prefer a full updo with braiding or a bun for a sleek, smooth style. 

Shorter Hair

Some women fear that having shorter hair will limit their options when it comes to styles for the big day, but the contrary is true. There are many attractive wedding styles for short hair. The use of accessories like clips or combs can add extra flair, while curling and shaping create a pleasing shape. No matter how long or short your hair, we will work with you to create the style that fits your special day. 

Ethnicity

There are as many different hair textures as there are brides. Whether your hair tends to fall into tight curls, lay fine and smooth, or is thick and straight will affect the style you choose. Wedding styles for black women run the gamut from natural to smooth. Many people of color enjoy thick, textured hair that is a pleasure to work with and offers opportunities for a variety of stylish and beautiful hairdos. When perusing photos of styles you’d like to emulate, consider your hair’s length and texture as well as your own personal style, and our stylists will help you accomplish the style that’s uniquely and magnificently yours.
