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.

What Will Kate Wear? Royal Wedding Gowns

Kate Middleton has vowed not to reveal anything about her dress before her wedding on April 29, 2011, but many have been speculating.  Rumor had it, British fashion designer Sophie Cranston designed a dress for Kate, but reps from her label, Libelula said it wasn't true.  There is another rumor that Kate actually designed the dress herself, with "ivory satin and lace with pearl buttons and a 10-foot train."  She has also included what is described as a ‘nod’ to the iconic Emanuel wedding dress worn by Lady Diana Spencer, but has avoided including any of its ‘flounce’. 

I think a gown fit for a queen should be very dramatic with a classic style.  People will remember this dress forever.  I've searched for pictures of what I think the dress may look like, but somehow I think they will pale in comparison to the actual dress.  Here are a few of my finds:

Elegant and classic, I think this would be a great choice.

I would love to see Kate wear something like this, but it may be a little "southern belle" for her.

This one is gorgeous with all of the beading and detail.  Plus, it would look great with a tiara!

This one is nice, but it reminds me a little of a (sexy) night gown.

This is the kind of dress I imagine when I think about a princess.  I love it.  It may be a little too sweet for Kate, though.



I love the details on the bust of this dress.  I imagine Kate's dress will have a lot of sparkle.

What kind of dress do you think Kate will be wearing on her big day?  I guess only time will tell. I have my dvr set up to record the event because I don't want to miss a thing!
