HOW TO CREATE A MOODY VIBE perfect for summer weddings PHOTOGRAPHY HEATHER NAN | DESIGN + STYLING LESLIE DAWN EVENTS

UTAH BRIDEBLOG.CO M | SUM M E R 2 015
Every year we see wedding trends change and move from one style to another and that constant wave of inspiration and creativity is what we live for. This summer and coming seasons look for more moody vibes and have fun embracing a more romantic side to design. For our summer wedding inspiration we enlisted the help of local designer, Leslie Price, of Leslie Dawn Events to help bring this vision to live. We love the concept of a light and airy tables capes while still finding ways to incorporate color. Leslie drew inspiration from lush gardens with beautiful blooms and overgrown vines. She accentuated the lavender and dusky blue tones with glowing candlelight that set the romantic ambiance. To get this look combine long wooden tables softened by a romantic flowing runner, fresh cut florals and draping greens to emulate the perfect secret garden trend. Don’t be afraid to let things get a little dark. We love the contrast between the light + deeper shades.
When planning the perfect wedding dinner it all comes down to the details. And by details we mean everything from the place settings to the dinner menu itself. To lend to the moody look we incorporated aspects of blackberries throughout this feature and the food was the perfect place to really bring that out. On the menu: Blackberry, feta, + mint skewer with balsamic drizzle. Mixed greens with blackberries, candied pecans, and pomegranate honey vinaigrette. Fresh blueberry scone with sea salt butter. Blackberry galette with fresh rosemary and vanilla bean fresh cream. Finish everything off with a signature blackberry cocktail for your guests.

INTENSE COLORS CAN BE RISKY FOR BRIDAL BUT ALSO CAN BE THE PERFECT STATEMENT FOR A BOLD BRIDE, LIKE THIS MODEL WITH BRIGHT RED HAIR AND STRONG FACIAL FEATURES. BE CAREFUL WHERE AND HOW YOU PLACE BOLD COLORS AS IT CAN GO WRONG EASILY. THE KEY: TO CREATE DIMENSION, THIS WAY THE COLOR HUGS AROUND THE EYE CREATING A PEEK OUT ON THE INNER CORNERS OF THE LID AND POPS OF COLOR WITH A BLINK. GREEN PAIRS WELL WITH BRONZE COLORED CHEEKS AND A SOFT CORAL LIP TO DEFINE BUT NOT COMPETE WITH THE MAIN ATTRACTION. A PERFECT ENHANCEMENT FOR A BRIDE THAT WEARS HER HAIR IN A PONYTAIL OFTEN AND WANTS TO FEEL LIKE HERSELF. BECAUSE THE PONYTAIL IS NOT A COMMON BRIDAL CHOICE IT CAN STILL READ UNIQUE. THE PONYTAILS GLAMOUR COMES IN BY HAVING THE CURL PATTERN MOVE AS ONE

SIMPLE BUT GLAMOROUS REALLY ONLY REQUIRES A HEAVY LASH AND A BOLD LIP! A CLASSIC LOOK THAT WILL NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE. THIS TWEAK GIVES IT A MODERN FEEL. RED LIPS ALONE IS NO LONGER ENOUGH. ONCE AGAIN DIMENSION IS THE FOCUS. HERE'S HOW TO DO IT: APPLY A RED LIP LINER TO DEFINE THE LIPS. 2.FILL IN THE LIPS WITH YOUR FAVORITE RED LIPSTICK. 3.TAKE A DARK BROWN LIP LINER OR A BROWN EYELINER AND TRACE THE LIPS AGAIN. DON'T BE SCARED ON HOW DRASTIC THE DARK SEEMS IN THIS STEP. 4.PULL THE BROWN OVER THE OUTSIDE CORNERS OF THE LIPS FEATHERING IT BACK TOWARDS THE LIP EDGE AS YOU GET TO THE LARGER PART OF THE LIPS. 5. REAPPLY THE LIPSTICK OVER THE BROWN LINER. 6. RUB YOUR LIPS TOGETHER TO BLEND THE TONES TOGETHER. YOUR END RESULT SHOULD BE A DIMENSIONAL RED LIP WITH LOTS OF DEPTH. CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD CURLS IS ANOTHER TIMELESS STYLE. THESE SCULPTED DEEP WAVES MOVING AS ONE FABRIC AND ARE THE PERFECT WAY TO LOOK GLAMOROUS AND SOPHISTICATED WITH YOUR HAIR DOWN.
