Wedding Day Makeup Kit


One thing that can be really easy to forget is to put together a makeup kit for your wedding day. When you are getting ready for the big day, chances are you will be putting on makeup about an hour and half to two hours before your wedding.
This is especially true if you are taking photos before the ceremony or if you are getting ready at home or in a hotel room and your ceremony is in a different location.


Your wedding can last up to 4 hours or more. With all of the stress, camera lights and dancing all night your makeup can wear off very quickly. Here are a few things that you should consider putting in a small clutch bag. Have your maid of honor or one of the bridesmaids be responsible for carrying it.

Here are the must haves...
  1. Sheer Lightweight Pressed Powder: Use a powder that is mineral based and provides oil absorbing coverage. We like the Mary Kay Sheer Pressed Powder. Plus it's a bargain at $16.00!
  2. Lip Gloss: Your lips will need gloss re-applied throughout the night with all the kissing you will be doing! If you can find a 2 in 1 item like this lip gloss + fragrance duo it's less you have to carry!
  3. Blush or Highlighting Powder: Just as you will need to re-apply powder you will need to touch up your blush.
An all-in-one compact will make your life so much easier. Everything you need for a quick touch up is all together with a convenient mirror. You won't have a lot of time for re-applying makeup so make sure it's easily accessible!

Cupcake Couture - Wedding Wednesday


Who doesn't love cupcakes? I personally had a cupcake tower at my engagement party and it was a hit! I added little faux diamond rings to the top of each cupcake and they looked adorable!

You can download a template and cut out your own wrappers out of scrapbooking paper for a couture look. Or if you're not in a DIY mood just order them from Bella Cupcake Couture.



Instructions:

1. Download the template here

2. Print it onto a piece of cardstock

3. Cut it out and use it to trace the shape onto paper. You can fit multiple wrappers on a single sheet of 8.5″ x 11″ paper.

4. Cut out your shapes.

5. Use strong double-sided tape to adhere the cardstock

6. Decorate to your liking

Tips + Hints:

  • Linear patterns like lines and plaid don’t work very well because the template is curved. It’ll look wonky.
  • Use decorative scissors to cut out the top of the wrapper to add a bit of pizazz.
  • Paper punches are great for adding a little extra cuteness, too.

Wedding Wednesday - FREE Wine Tag Template



This idea is fabulous for those of you who want to give wine glasses as favors. They are great for your reception, engagement party or even your rehearsal dinner. Just copy and paste the template onto your document and print on a heavy card stock. You can cut these out or get a circle cutter at a craft store. If you want to adhere them to the bottom of the glass just get a double sided adhesive tape runner and put a little adhesive on the edge of the tag. Another option is to punch a hole in the center of the tag and then cut straight out from the center to the edge. Then you can attach it to the stem of the glass. Just be sure you can get a hole punch big enough for the thickness of the stem.

Enjoy!
