On the day of your wedding makeup must look natural up close and yet striking from afar. It must last the whole day, appear fresh and vibrant, and look fabulous in pictures.
The professionals will make sure that your skin is flawless and every detail remains the same for hours, in spite of impending weather conditions or innate skin conditions. This is why it is important to set up the consultation about a month in advance. At this time you will have the chance to discuss your theme and the look you want to achieve. The hair and makeup must suit the wedding dress and the headdress of your choice.

The bride for this wedding came to us with a color palette of ‘tiffany’ blue and white. She happened to be an executive for Hermes fragrances and thus was drawn to floral palettes that were feminine, classic and soft. Although there would only a small number of guests at the wedding the bride wanted her wedding to have a detailed and sophisticated look. She also loved classic floral and lots of sparkle.
The bride’s bouquet was a classic collection of white peonies, white lysianthus and white mums detailed with pretty pearls and rhinestones. The tiffany blue satin wrap added just a soft touch of color. The garden ceremony was simple but elegant. Large fresh floral arrangements of white peonies, hydrangea and mums filled elegant chrome urns which sat on chic mirrored stands.
Rather than being separated by tables, all the guests sat with the bride and groom at a very large ‘kings style’ table creating an intimate feel. A row of details accented the head table including fabulous floral centerpieces of white hydrangeas, and peonies which sat on top of tall crystal stands. Rhinestone vases filled with complement flowers, along with crystal candle sticks, were the low complement pieces.
Other tiffany inspired accents included a three tiered cake wrapped with rhinestone bands. Tiffany bags filled with pearls and other jewels accented the yummy candy bar. Lovely ‘tiffany’ style wrapped box was the packaging of choice for the mini bottles of… of course… Hermes perfumes.

Plan your wedding using pretty shades of pink, blue, mint green, and lavender. They exude a rich luminous feel that is both fresh and mysterious. Each detail adds to the overall effect. Tablecloths, decorations, and sweet floral arrangements define your style, and interesting embellishments add a personal touch. Chairs and chair covers envelop your theme; each place settings, flatware, and stemware fashion a tablescape that’s uniquely yours. Inspired by colour and detailing, the sweet table is yet another avenue to let the imagination run free. Cupcakes, beautiful tea cups, colourful bonbons are pleasing to the eye and the palate. The delightful decorative appeal of the wedding cake, together with high-quality delicious ingredients contributes to the overall magnificence of your wedding day celebration.

The wedding bouquet is one of the most cherished necessities of your special day. Flowers are beautiful and symbolic, and more importantly they continue tradition and become valued keepsakes for years to come. What is the wedding bouquet of your dreams? An arrangement of colourful blooms or a monochromatic bundle sprayed with sweet scents and heirloom touches. The modern wedding bouquet includes all that. It is a personal expression and a convergence of affection. While some brides prefer a traditional approach to their flowers others get very imaginative with the possibilities.

Joanna & Andre were married September 4, 2011
Joanna and Andre have a special bond that needed a unique touch. Not ones to follow the traditional path, they asked the designers at Jackie O to come up with a celebration that reflected both their personalities and tastes. The ballroom of the Park Hyatt Regency was the setting for the contemporary and dramatic wedding ceremony and reception. A vibrantly coloured chuppah was centered in the room and the guests gathered around the couple as they vowed their love to each other. With a smash and a Mazel Tov, the celebration began.
The room had a modern look and feel with a sense of whimsy introduced by black feather centerpieces on some tables and a sense of urban chic with the deconstructed style on others. Punchy green dianthus was mixed with vibrant purple orchids and aubergine calla lilies creating a dramatic colour scheme. The design team accented this with pops of pink mokara orchids for contrast. Much like the couple themselves, Joanna and Andre’s wedding brought fun together with chic.

“Why help the poor? I have helped people to talk to the poor and not just about the poor”. -Mother Teresa-
That is a simple but very significant statement which indicates ‘the poor’ are not just some conglomerate group which can be dismissed as an economically, non-productive sector of society that we are unfortunately stuck with. They are fellow human beings – real people, individuals – for whom we have concern and responsibility.
That is the first and most basic reason why we should help the poor – because they are fellow human beings, flesh and blood people like ourselves. We cannot turn a blind eye. In this global village, our planet, we are realizing more and more that we are interdependent. We are like a global family, albeit a dysfunctional one. We must accept that we are our brother’s keeper.
On this beautiful holiday season… Elegant Wedding Magazine and CHIC Weddings help feed the needy by donating 50 turkeys to the women’s auxiliary of the St. Nicolas and Holy Cross Church, this relentless team of women our Grandmothers, Our Mothers, Our Aunts and Sisters, work hard all year and this holiday season we would like to help them, help 100’s of needed families.
Hope is to be cherished, hope is powerful; hope is the “feeling, that belief is a positive outcome related to the circumstances in your life.
