Happy April everyone!

I think I almost forgot how to add a blog entry! After reading so much about image hiccups with WordPress, I was finally able to (Ok, with the help of a tech savvy husband) figure out the issue. So now, watch out! I have so much that I have done and wasn’t able to post, now I’ll bombard you!

 

To start off April, The Pink Orange is offering 100 free stir sticks and 100 free coasters to coordinate with your Clementine order of $1,300 or more! We look forward to designing for you!

For the past six years I have had the pleasure of designing some really fabulous events, weddings and parties. I have enjoyed each part of the process regardless to what extent a client needs my assistance. I pretty much live, eat and sleep weddings and events and always look to challenge myself with each new project. I thrive on this! I get butterflies when I see amazing paper and I get rushes of excitement over foil stamping, color and texture. And don’t even get me started on chevron!

Over the past six years, I have been able to live vicariously through my clients enjoying each step of the process, thinking through each and every detail and how to make a design look complete. This carries over into my personal life as I host holiday dinners, girls nights, my son’s first birthday party last year and helping friends with their own parties. I also realized that there are so many clients with so much talent and inspiration to create their own beautiful weddings, parties and events, that why can’t I help nudge them along and design some really amazing accessories to complete the look or help give a glimpse into some inspiration.

At the beginning of the year, along with some really great creatives on my team, I was able to create some really marvelous accessories to coordinate with a selection of goods that will round-out any party, wedding or event. Girls night in anyone? Wait until you catch a glimpse of the coasters and stir sticks!

 

The all new shop section of our website will be dedicated to our existing line of letterpress goods, but we are adding an entire party line that will inevitably grow like wildflowers because that is just simply how my mind works. Creative juices flow and there is no stopping me!

You will be able to set up an account, keep wish lists, buy gift certificates and be prevy to some really fun product. Part of our new offering will be straws, coasters, napkins, stir sticks, favor packaging, oodles of hang tags to use in some many ways, paper garlands and escort cards! We also love feedback and suggestions, so if you feel like you want to see something, please let us know. This collection comes from what we have learned over the years and what clients ask for and want and we want you to want our goodies!

 

I am also excited about the line because I have a firm belief that all parties should be stylish, regardless of budget. Celebrate in a stylish way by adding some super details without spending a fortune (just look like you did)!

 

So, keep your eyes out for the launch and be sure to sign up for our newsletter. There will be some specials that are emailed out to help celebrate the launch.

 

Thank you all so much for all of your support over the years. Without our amazing clients and fans we wouldn’t be able to do what we love to do! An especially big thanks to Tiffany Wayne for photographing the product line. She is amazing at what she does!

Create the perfect smokey eye

We love make-up and wedding day or event make-up so we turned to our friend Erin Marzilli for some tips on how to create the perfect smokey eye. Erin is also going to share a video with us in two weeks for the tutorial on how to create this look yourself, at home!

•••

So this is the day that most every girl has dreamed about her whole life, her wedding day.  Weddings these days are very much like red carpet events and you’re the star…. and I believe you should look and feel like one too! So maybe you are not a bride, who cares!  You will still benefit from this post and the post to follow because this bridal makeup application is still beautiful for everyday.

Almost every one of my bridal consultations starts with me asking, “So what do you want” and almost every bride says, “I am very simple… I just want a clean, fresh, light smoky eye, and do you have lashes?”

It may sound hard to put those requests together… but I’ll show you how too. In the meantime, here are my must have products for this look.  You can either choose to buy the same exact products or go out and find product alternatives.  I suggest between now and the next newsletter you go out and gather you makeup! Have fun, after all – its makeup!

 

Wedding Makeup Products for a clean, fresh, light Smokey bridal eye w/ Strip Lashes:

I also recommend taking care of your skin leading up to my video tutorial.  The better your skin looks, the better your makeup is going to look.  Here are some skin care tip and tricks to help your skin looking its best leading up to your bridal makeup application:

- To reduce breakouts, drink hot lemon water first thing in the a.m. It helps to reduce bacteria internally lessening break out activity.

- Makeup does not look good on dry skin because dry / dehydrated skin accentuates skin aging.  Another reason to use moisturizer + serums….they plump up wrinkles!

- Make sure you don’t drink alcohol the morning of the wedding because it will cause redness throughout your wedding day that NO makeup will hide.

- Remember to get your facials and waxing done at least 2 weeks before your wedding in case of any breakouts.

-  More Water!

- Have fun, don’t stress and remember I am always here to help!

Thank you to Erin for sharing these tips! I know for sure that  I love having tutorials as i’m far from being a make-up expert! Please feel free to contact Erin with any questions regarding makeup for your special day.
