Hope Artistry

Last month we got to be a part of Melissa and Michael’s big day. Let me start off by saying that Melissa has such classy taste. Her blush dress is absolutely gorgeous! Lindsay and Sarah did such an amazing job on the hair & makeup. Melissa is the definition of a glowing bride.

Jessica Biel should take note that THIS is how you wear pink.

Love how even the lighting complemented the colors of the wedding. Phenomenal job with all the details by Kehrin at Jet Set Wed.

Cute tags for the sparklers.

Honestly, I’m not a sports fan, but could this cake be any cuter??? 

The Happy Couple.

Pale colored roses + a blush dress = the perfect combination. Congratulations Michael and Melissa!

   Jessica Wind & Keith Gregor knew they wanted an art deco styled engagement shoot and wedding so they found their inspiration from the ever popular show, Mad Men.   

SWOON…..It turned out so fabulous!! This engagement shoot has so much style behind it that it has been featured on both Story Board Wedding  and Weddings Illustrated.  So hop on over to their sites for the full posts and pictures.

                                  Congratulations to Melodie and Zach!  

Their wedding was just featured on the Wedding Channel website.  The Hope Artistry team for this wedding included Tania Popowicz for makeup and Lindsay Johnson for hair. It was a gorgeous wedding with pops of purple in every detail. Photography was done by the fabulous Tonya Malay.  You can click here for more pictures.

                                     

The wedding took place at the Ritz Carlton Beach Resort in Naples, Fl.  When it comes to weddings, the Ritz is impeccable with details and planning.  Their wedding professionals are top notch and their bridal suites are luxurious with ample space for the whole wedding party to get ready. 

                                     

                                     

Thrilled for you , Melodie and Zach! Thank you for choosing Hope Artistry to be part of your beautiful day. 

Makeup concealer’s can be used to cover pimples, small blemishes, scars, and dark under-eye circles. For this post we are going to talk about the best concealers for those pesky dark circles. Dark circles, are likely to become more noticeable and permanent with age because as people get older, their skin loses collagen, becoming thinner and more translucent.” Dark circles can also appear due to things like heredity, fatigue, or allergies. For you “twenty somethings” that may be reading this, cherish your plump and youthful skin. For those of you with more mature skin, here’s a helpful hint: use a moisturizing concealer so it is less likely to set into your fine lines. At some point in our lives we will need a little concealment, so here are my 3 favorite concealers, each of which has several colors to best match your skin tone.

1) Inglot $12.00

A great moisturizing concealer that doesn’t settle into your fine lines. Medium to high coverage. Paraben free.

2) Kat Vod D $25.00

If this can cover up tattoos then you better believe it can do the trick to hide your dark circles. Paraben Free.

3) Mac Pro long wear $18.00

Color-true formula that lasts up to 15 hours.

                                                 

Earlier this year we participated in an Eco-friendly photo shoot with Luminaire Photo and Wed Perfect in Naples Botanical Gardens. 

                                        

Today, this photo shoot was featured on Style Me Pretty.  To see all the Fab photos and details of the shoot click here.  It was a gorgeous day with gorgeous models and eco-freindly inspiration. We were pleased to be a part of it.

Planning a wedding is quite a feat.  Hats off to the brides who planned their weddings from scratch without any help from the internet. Sounds archaic doesn’t it; life without the internet? Well, just a few short years ago, even the internet didn’t provide that much help for young brides in planning their weddings.  Which is why, in 2009,  a bride by the name of Lauren Grove decided to start a blog to educate and inspire brides.  Every Last Detail, insight for brides  has since grown into one of the most influential blogs in the wedding industry.  ”From real weddings and inspiration, to approved vendors and wedding planning tips, everything on Every Last Detail is carefully curated to educate and inspire brides.” So if you are a bride-to-be, you must visit ELD before you make any final decisions. 

                       

Lauren has said, “I now not only have a goal of educating brides, but I have also developed a passion for helping wedding professionals grow their businesses.”  This is fantastic news for us, because Hope Artistry has been selected as one of the vendors featured on this chic wedding website. She has 12 different types of wedding vendors listed. To find us, narrow your search to beauty vendors and click on  Florida and Illinois. We are the only beauty vendor listed in the SWFL, Miami, and Chicago areas. (congratulations to the two other beauty vendors listed for Central FL.)  Lauren has been extremely kind and generous to work with and we are thrilled to be a part of her blog. 

Why search Pinterest for wedding inspiration when you can visit the inspiration gallery on ELD.  Its a feast for your senses! Whatever your wedding style, classic, eclectic, modern, or vintage, there is inspiration to be found.  Check out this flawlessly, detailed Emerald Green Aviation inspired wedding. Amazing, right?!

Thank you Lauren for working so hard, so that brides-to-be don’t have to.
