What will your guests remember about your Wedding?

Spectacular Detroit Michigan Wedding featured in national Bride's Magazine August 2011

Dream Wedding and Event Planners planned and coordinated a spectacular wedding in Detroit Michigan on May 28, 2011.  Everything was perfect, and the Bride, Groom and their families were thrilled.  The Mother of the Groom sent a lovely email to us.  Some of what she said was, "We hired Kathy early, and that proved to be one of our best moves.  I give Kathy credit for helping us avoid lot of sleepless nights. I would tell brides entertaining the idea of hiring Dream Wedding & Event Planners to not think twice about it.  It will make the days leading up to the wedding so much easier, and they'll have such great memories from their big day.  I can’t say enough about Kathy and her team.  They really care and will go the extra mile for them.  What more could you ask for?"

Summer Wedding Beauty tips from Rent the Runway

Looking hot when it’s hot outside isn’t always easy: we all know that summer humidity can melt a picture-perfect makeup application in five minutes flat.  To keep your face looking fresh even as the temperature soars, the general rule is less is more.  Follow these easy tips for makeup that withstands the warm weather at your weddings.

Use products with staying power
Liquid liner is notoriously smudge-proof, which makes it perfect for an outdoor or all-day affair.  To ensure a crisp line, apply eyeshadow first.  Then, line your top lashes starting near your nose and thickening as you move outwards, which will create an eye-opening effect.  Try the Lancôme Artliner in Black, whose felt-tip applicator draws a perfect line every time.


Lighten up on lids and lips
If you know you’re going to be standing in direct sun or anywhere near an ocean, forego the sultry smoky eye makeup and red lipstick in favor of a lighter, breezier look. Do a sheer wash of shadow on lids and give lips pop of red color with gloss.  We like Lancôme Juicy Tubes in Berry Bold.


Embrace your warm weather glow
Powder foundation and perspiration simply do not play well together. To get more natural coverage this season, try a tinted moisturizer. For a perfectly pre-mixed version that boasts SPF 30 to boot, try Lancôme Bienfait Multi-Vital Teinté.

Navy, Plum or Charcoal-colored Eye Liner

Talk to your makeup professional about using a navy, plum or charcoal-colored eyeliner instead of black or brown for a softer look.  If you are planning an outdoor wedding, this will be less severe and will look better in your pictures.
