>> I CAN’T SAY IT ENOUGH –THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE FOR YOUR WEDDING,
IS THAT IT REFLECTS YOU AND YOUR personal sense of STYLE. THIS IS
JUST AS TRUE FOR YOUR WEDDING GOWN AS it is for EVERYTHING ELSE. YOU
SHOULD WEAR THE DRESS rather THAN THE DRESS WEAR YOU. DON’T LET YOUR
GOWN COVER UP WHO YOU ARE, LET IT ENHANCE YOUR NATURAL style and
BEAUTY. GETMARRIED.COM AND I HAVE TIPS AND ALL THE TRENDS WHEN IT
COMES TO FINDING YOUR IDEAL WEDDING GOWN.
SEXY IS SOMETHING YOU WANT YOUR GROOM TO DESCRIBE YOU AS.... BUT
REMEMBER GRANDPARENTS ARE STILL A PART OF THE PARTY. SO ON YOUR
WEDDING DAY, HOW DO YOU LOOK SEXY AND SOPHISTICATED AT THE SAME
TIME? TOP DESIGNERS AT NEW YORK FASHION WEEK SHOWED US EXACTLY HOW
TO GET THAT JAW DROPPING LOOK…
>> she wants to be able to show off her sensuality with low neckline with off the
shoulder detailing but done in a tasteful way, not to be vulgar. There is one thing about
looking sensual and having sexiness about it but it’s a very fine line.
>> AND THAT FINE LINE CAN BE WALKED IN A SHORT SKIRT, OPEN BACK,
OR LAYERS OF SHEER FABRICS.
>> As you saw it was a little see through but it was never too much. And that’s the limit
is very very important to keep.
>>Remember the right look for you means choosing one that draws attention to your best
features and flatters your others.
AND DON’T FORGET THE HAVE FUN IN WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE…
>> To me brides are enjoying the wedding more now. They are kind of letting themselves
go and using it as a wonderful excuse for a party and a celebration. So I think a lot of the
taboos and traditions of bridal wear are kind of breaking down a little bit which gives us
designers a little bite more scope.
>> AND THAT SCOPE, WHETHER IT’S A PLUNGING NECKLINE, A MINI SKIRT
OR BEADED EMBROIDERY THAT YOU ABSOLUTELY LOVE - CAN TRULY BE
ANYTHING THAT MAKES YOU FEEL SEXY.
FINDING A GOWN THAT YOU FEEL CONFIDENT IS THE ULTIMATE SYMBOL
OF Sexiness.

>> I LOVE THAT MOMENT OF SUPRISE AT A WEDDING WHEN A GROOM SEES HIS
BRIDE IN HER GOWN FOR THE FIRST TIME in her gown. IF SHE’S WEARING A
SEXY DRESS, I EXPECT HIS JAW TO DROP JUST A LITTLE MORE. BUT FOR
BRIDES WHO WANT TO TAKE HIS BREATH AWAY, TRY SOMETHING CALLED A
BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION… ITS NOT ABOUT THE DRESS, BUT WHATS
BENEATH IT.
PICTURE YOU AT YOUR SEXIEST… LOOKING AMAZING IN YOUR
FAVORITE LINGERIE… AND FEELING LIKE A MILLION BUCKS. YOU
CAN CAPTURE THAT MOMENT FOREVER… IN A BOUDOIR
PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION. THE HOT NEW TREND FOR BRIDES WHO
WANT TO SURPRISE THEIR GROOM WITH AN UNFORGETTABLE GIFT.
>> “It’s often given to the groom on the morning of the wedding, the night before when
they know they’re not going to see each other that night. It’s also given the honeymoon
night if the bride wants to be there when he opens it.
the groom just loves it. To see your wife in that special way and to know that she is doing
something for you something that’s private it’s just a really neat thing.
>>it was fun to get to watch him look at them because its not very often to see someone
who has been in your life for a long period of time get nervous and he was just like
excited nervous while he was looking at them. He kept saying oh my goodness.
>> THE SESSION CAN BE AS RISQUE AS YOU WANT.
>>Boudoir photography is just the beauty of your curves and sensuality on film. It can be
as conservative as fully clothed but photographed in a sexy way. It can be nudity
photographed in a pretty way but nothing to overly sexual.
>> BUT tHE KEY TO AMAZING BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHS IS YOUR
COMFORT LEVEL. THAT MEANS FINDING THE RIGHT PHOTOGRAPHER.
>> its important to make the client feel comfortable and understand that they are not a
model they don’t have the experience. So you need to be able to work with them, show
them what looks beautiful. Make them feel good about it in an honest way. Really help
them get the best shots they can and shoot them in a really beautiful way”
>> You just have to take a deep breath and trust your photographer. Make sure that you
spoken to your photographer and really convey what it is that are comfortable showing
what your not comfortable showing.
I think you just have to do it. I think everybody has their issues. Nobody is completely
100 percent comfortable being either half naked or partially naked or completely naked in
front of a camera in less you are a movie star.

>>BUT ITS NOT JUST ABOUT FINDING THE RIGHT PHOTOGRAPHER,
MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES FOR YOUR LINGERIE AND UNDRESS FOR
SUCCESS.
>>There are so many things that you have to take into consideration for instance body
shape, skin color, hair color and you have to incorporate that into the lingerie. if you’re
smaller on the cups then we want to do something lower cut, something plunge that
pushes them together to show a little bit more cleavage. If you are fully busted they want
to do a 3-quarter cup to a fuller cup so it doesn’t seem like you are falling out of it. So we
can create tasteful and classic looks. you have to feel luxurious in it. And to me you’re
not luxurious if you don’t feel comfortable in it.”
>> LETTING YOUR INNNER VIXEN SHOW, MEANS MORE THAN
SLIPPING INTO SEXY LINGERIE. KNOW YOUR GUY !
>> I have had clients come in with boas and hats. I think its fun to bring in something of
the grooms. I always ask them to bring something from his hobby. I have had people
bring in baseball bats just for like a comic appeal.
>>ONE IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER, THE BOUDOIR PHOTO
SHOOT ISN’T JUST FOR “HIM” , IT CAN ENHANCE YOUR WHOLE
BRIDAL EXPERIENCE.
>>It wasn’t just one day. it wasn’t just a blink. I went out of the ordinary. I went out of
the box; I stepped out of my comfort zone a little bit and now that my wedding is over, I
feel happy about it and I look back at it and it feels complete.

>>FLOWERS PLAY AND IMPORTANT ROLE IN EVERY WEDDING. A GREAT WAY TO
MAKE YOUR WEDDING UNIQUE IS TO ADD A FAVORITE FLOWER THAT HAS
SENTIMENTAL MEANING FOR YOU. BUT PERSONALIZING YOUR FLOWERS ISN’T
THE ONLY THING YOU NEED TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING YOUR FLORALS.
Creating elegant wedding décor that is beautiful and personal start with identifying
a flower and a color
>>Flowers are important to a wedding because it has color, it has romance, and it brings
it up a level of sophistication they really add to the look of the day.
>>And to make sure you get the look you’ve always dreamed of, consider the

location and the season of your wedding.
>>They should go to see what is in season and use the seasonal flowers.
>>They are some flowers you should avoid using in some bouquets because they don’t
last, they don’t take heat or they love cold but not freezing cold.
>> if your getting married in Mexico or some place really hot you’re not gonna want
tulips or lily of the valley.
>> A lot of brides love peonies, but sometimes there’s a really short window in May
when they are available, other then that they can be very very costly. Tropical flowers,
orchids, dendrobiums, are user friendly throughout the year.
>>If youre in search of a less expensive, yet romantic floral selection for your
wedding, there’s a flower you can always count on.
>>Roses, are a staple.
>>You should also be aware of how many stems you get for what you’re spending
>>If you’re comparing different vendors a lot of people quote and say a vase full of white
orchids and tulips, I think it’s important to say how many orchids and tulips because one
vendor may quote on twice as many flowers.
>>And if you’re a bride on a limited budget, your flowers can still set the tone.
>> If you use a lot of one flower in a room, it can be a real high impact, you can do all
roses across the room and that could create a lot of show across the room.
>> using the flowers of the season will always save you money. choose things in
abundance in that area and for the time of year. It will feel more special because it will
represent the time of year you were married.
>>Or, focus your flowers towards particular areas of your wedding.
>>the ceremony focal area is extremely important. You have two hundred, three hundred,
four hundred, five hundred people seated there for half an hour. They need something
really gorgeous to look at. It has to have a lot of dimension and depth.
>>Centerpieces if you’re doing a sit down dinner. You have guest looking at those
centerpieces for hours. That’s extremely important.
>>But whether you focus your flowers in a few key locations, or go over the top with
a flower fantasyland, choose flowers that express your personality to create a
stunning look unique to you.
>>We’re seeing so much color. Brides are willing to take a chance. They want it to be a
party. We’re doing a lot of hot pink. It’s a wonderful color for weddings.

>>Picking bright, beautiful flowers that you love will set the tone for your special
day, and will allow your wedding to blossom into an elegant, personalized
experience.

>>SPRING IS A TIME WHEN BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS ARE BLOOMING… AND SPRING
BRIDES NEED A LOOK THAT’S JUST AS FRESH. FOR THOSE OF YOU
DETERMINED NOT TO BE A SHRINKING VIOLET ON YOUR WEDDING DAY, TRY
HAIR AND MAKEUP THAT’S GURANTEED TO PUT A SPRING IN YOUR STEP.
>> spring time is a great time to really do anything with your hair, but we wanna kinda
have a little fun with it, so what we’re going to do is a beautiful. playful ponytail. it’s a
great time of year to wear your hair all of your face. so what we’ll do is tease the hair a
little bit to get some action at the root, a great technique is, after you tease the hair in the
crown, and right there in the front put a few clips in there and spray it and then, this is
gonna create some lines in the back and have some texture in the front. when you think of
ponytail you think of little girl, so when you go along the lines of for a bride, we keep it
low at the neck. And on the sides we’re creating a more defined curl so we can have
some texture after I curl the sides of the hair I delicately pull the hair and just pin. with
this style, and being that it’s springtime, we have a lot of options for hair accessories.
You can go with crystal, and what you can do with crystal is we just slip them in in-
between this textured look that we’ve created. the other option that we can do for a spring
bride is a flower. I think this is the best time of year to choose to do fresh flowers. we
have some options. we can place it on the side, if she’s a destination bride the side will be
really pretty. Or we can just do it right in the center to keep it clean and polished looking.
so this is our spring bridal hairstyle. we kept it playful and fresh for springtime.
>>We’re gonna create a fresh springtime look for our bride Tara today. I’m just doing a
gorgeous light peach shimmer, she has a few individual false lashes on her. I would do
the individuals instead of a full strip for spring. we’ve done a little bit of foundation on
her already. we’ve done a tiny bit of bronzer on her just to give her a bit of a sun kissed
glow, but in the spring I’m gonna focus mainly on her blush. I’m going to give her a
beautiful bright pink blushed look. I really wanted to focus on her cheek. I wanted to
have a gorgeous flushed color. She’s got that beautiful flower in her hair, I don’t want to
overpower it. I just did a nice bright cheek, make her look really healthy. it’s a great time
of year to wear color. I think you have two different options, you can go with something
sheer and not to shimmery, or you can go with something like we did, something really
glossy that pops, and there we go, all set for spring.

>>TO ME, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BRIDE IS A TIMELESS BRIDE. MANY BRIDES
WEAR TOO MUCH MAKEUP, OR THEY’RE BEJEWELED FROM HEAD TO TOE AND
OVERLY ACCESSORIZED. SO MUCH SO THAT YOUR GROOM WON’T RECOGNIZE YOU
AS YOU COME DOWN THE AISLE. IN MY BOOK WEDDING CHIC, I GIVE ADVICE
ON HOW TO ACHIEVE A WEDDING LOOK THAT’S TRULY TIMELESS.
>>20 YEARS FROM NOW, WHEN YOUR CHILDREN LOOK AT YOUR WEDDING PHOTOS,
YOU DON’T WANT THEM TO SAY MOM, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? TO MAKE SURE
THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN, HERE ARE SOME TIPS YOUR MAKEUP SHOULD ENHANCE
YOUR FEATURES NATURALLY, NOT DISGUISE THEM.
YOU WANT YOUR HAIR STYLED SO THAT IT STAYS IN PLACE, BUT NOT SO
LACQUERED DOWN THAT IT LOOKS LIKE A NATIONAL MONUMENT. CHOOSE
JEWELRY THAT COMPLIMENTS YOUR GOWN, BUT DOESN’T OVERPOWER IT.
WEAR SHOES THAT ARE ELEGANT YET COMFORTABLE, SO YOU CAN REALLY DANCE
AND ENJOY YOUR BIG DAY PAIN-FREE I SUGGEST HAVING A SECOND PAIR ON
HAND, IN CASE YOUR FEET SWELL
AND WHEN IT COMES TO THE ALL-IMPORTANT DRESS
AVOID DRESSES WITH TOO MUCH FABRIC AND TOO MUCH EMBELLISHMENT.
INSTEAD, CHOOSE ONE THAT HAS JUST ONE TYPE OF FABRI AND A SINGLE
EMBELLISHMENT LIKE LACE OR BEADING OR EMBORIDERY. REMEMBER, YOU
SHOULD WEAR THE DRESS, THE DRESS SHOULD NOT WEAR YOU.
DON’T BE AFRAID OF COLOR. THERE IS NO RULE THAT YOU HAVE TO WEAR A
WHITE DRESS. IF CRANBERRY IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR AND IT’S THE DEAD
OF WINTER, WEAR IT!
I RECOMMEND THAT YOU GO TO AT LEAST THREE DIFFERENT SALONS AND TRY
ON AS MANY DRESSES AS POSSIBLE BEFORE YOU BUY ONE. THAT WAY, YOU
CAN REALLY SEE WHAT STYLE LOOKS BEST ON YOU, AND WHAT IS MOST
COMFORTABLE.
FOLLOWING THESE SUGGESTIONS AND I PROMISE YOU A LOOK THAT IS TRULY
WEDDING CHIC.

>> IN THE FILM FANTASTIC FOUR, RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER, IOAN
GRUFFUD’S WEDDING WITH JESSICA ALBA IS INTERRUPTED BY AN EVIL GUEST.
BUT IN REAL LIFE, HIS ROMANTIC MEXICAN MARRIAGE TO ALICE EVANS WENT
OFF WITHOUT A HITCH IN A CEREMONY THAT WAS TRULY FANTASTIC! FOR
CELEBRITY PHOTOGRAPHER ROBERT EVANS, IT’S ONE OF HIS FAVORITES.
>> One of my Favorite weddings was an actor name Ioan Gruffuds. He

is the star of the fantastic four and his wife is also an actress
Alice Evans. There wedding was down at the palmilla in Los Cabos.
The night before the wedding we shot rehearsal dinner at the
palmilla. They have a beautiful chapel that sits up above the hotel
and it was at the bottom of the steps and all around the area of the
chapel.
The next day they got married on the sand in the beach. Ioan and
Alice are both from the U.K. and Iaon is Welsh and most of there
families and friends were, so they sang some traditional Welsh
songs. And it was just a beautiful ceremony. I had them go down on
the beach so they could just spend some time with each other. And
then I just shoot with the long lens and sort of capture those
moments
They had the dinner and everything outside. There was a beautiful
fountain as you walked in with flowers floating in the fountain. The
couple sat down at the end of the long table with all the bridal
party in front of a beautiful Spanish fireplace. After the dinner
part of it was done then they opened the ballroom doors and it was
set up as a lounge. Out behind the room was a beautiful patio with a
cigar roller. And a beautiful Spanish fountain that was all lit in
blue. It fit their personalities; Very fun and delicate but yet
touchy.
