Style ideas: A New Twist on Fall Colors


BLUES, MARIGOLDS & PALE PINKS!!

When we think "Fall Weddings", images of reds, oranges and yellow hues flash through our minds. But today's bride is finding new ways to express this beloved season. The tendency is to keep an anchor color, one that is bold (such as a mid - heavy toned blue) and let the accent colors be less demanding. Here the marigold makes a mid-toned statement while tying into our traditional autumn feel, letting the pale pinks add a whimsical flair.

Shoes Shoes Shoes!!

Shoes worn by the bride and groom, have seen some interesting trends in recent reasons. Long past are the traditional 'white pumps' with lacy embellishments. Today's couples have been reflecting parts of their personalities on their tootsies!

Sometimes comical, sometimes ultra sophisticated....from cowboy boots, to Toms, to dyed stilettos (embracing the key color of their palette)!

Wedding photographers Andrea with Andrea Murphy Photography and Jackey with Storybook Wedding Photography have really enjoyed photographing these fashion statements! Here are just a sampling of their favs. Enjoy and get inspired!!

Although wedding day make-up should be heavier than you normally wear, keep in mind it should enhance your natural beauty, not cover you up!
The main reason for this is your photos, which have a tendency to make us look washed out. My photography makeup instructor emphasized this point, from the start.

For the appearance of flawless skin, our airbrush product is a must-have.
It goes on as a mist, by letting each layer dry in between, so I can build a flawless look. Its oil free, paraben free and will last at least 24 hours (if you don't wash it off).

Current trends: This season I am seeing an updated vintage look. Think Marilyn Monroe but softer; smudged liner instead of heavy liquid and red lips. Not a fan of red lips? Not to worry, corals and fun spring pinks are also in, as is purple eyeshadow (perfect for brides with green or brown eyes).
