Traveling Make-up artist: NY,NJ, PA areas

/in , , , /by

Beauty begins inside. Some of us need a little help with the outside. There is a special lady, who’s company is based in Nutley N.J. who can help you look your most beautiful on your special day, but, she comes to you with  an even more beautiful inside.

Deirdre, the owner of Deeva Beauty, is a licensed cosmetologist, makeup artist, and educator; with a background freelancing for Estee Lauder, Lancome, Revlon, and trained by M.A.C. A big fan of ‘provocative’ beauty and the Old Hollywood pin-ups, Deirdre is known for her ‘easy glamour’ style and the one to go to if you want to look GLAMOROUS but classy. Her favorite look is SMOKEY EYES and pouty lips, but fear not, a natural ‘girl next door’ classic bride is doable as well if that is what you desire.

With all that said, when you check out www.deevabeauty.com you will see what an amazing person Deirdre actually is. She shares hints and tips, she helps with questions you may have, she travels to your location to help you save time and energy, and a portion of each of her sessions goes to help various animal agencies. Even if all things were equal, this, (which they are not), puts her on higher ground.

Here is a direct quote, (which I love), from Deirdre’s website…”But I’m not just another makeup artist and DeeVa Beauty isn’t just another company seeking profits. It is a platform to look deeper within and find compassion and kindness towards God’s helpless, knowing your beauty does not only lie in your looks but in your humanity, ethics and your courage to make a difference. We all want to find an authentic experience, a way to live more passionately…to connect with something.”

So, if you want to be more gorgeous, if you want to have a Deeva make-over party, or you just want to look the very best you can look, on your special day, give Deirdre a call. You will be happy that you did!

Go get beautiful, Call Deeva Beauty and have a wholesale flower filled day!

Hand Painted glassware

/1 Comment/in , , /by

What’s more personal than a custom handpainted gift item? I have found a very cool artist who can custom make your glassware and a whole lot more. Are you constantly looking for “just the right” gift? Do you have a loved one who has one of those names that you NEVER find on anything? What about something really different for your friend that has everything?

Check this site…http://www.aressa.etsy.com The painted house and more. This talented artist will make anything look more beautiful by hand painting or putting her talent to use on an ordinary hanger. Yes, you can buy “painted” glassware in most department stores, but, they are not custom designed, the colors aren’t your  1st choice, they don’t have your name painted on them, and they simply don’t say that you put very much thought into your choice.

If you are looking for a really interesting and different idea for a gift for your wedding attendents, your parents, or just someone you love, I say go ahead and put it on glass!

***here is A painted house’s April special…*** I OFFER 10% DISCOUNT ON MULTIPLE HANGER ORDERS! BRIDE’S HANGER IS FREE FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL WITH MULTIPLE HANGER PURCHASES!**** ©

Here’s hoping you have a wholesale flower filled day!

It’s all in the details!

/in , , /by

Everyone is looking for a way to stand out, be remembered, or be envied on their wedding day. Yes, you look beautiful (but, so do most brides), Yes, the place is great (but, how many others have been married here just this year?). So, what’s a bride to do? Everything is in the details. What can you do to stand apart?

My suggestion? contact Cafe ala Carte!  http://www.cafealacarte.com 

More and more weddings are going the way of dessert receptions and what better match is there to decadent desserts than amazing, fresh brewed coffees? We’re not talking Folgers here, we’re talking, Lattes, cappuccinos, flavored coffees, and for the kids…hot chocolate. MMMM I can smell it now…

Cafe ala Carte will come self contained to your event, regardless of what type of event it is. Give them electricity and they are good to go. They are a professional company with an air of sophistication.

Go ahead, stand out from the rest, be the envy of all your guests, and have the best dang cup of coffee that you have ever had!

Have a flower filled day, and a great cup of coffee!!!

An Interesting Idea for a bouquet

/5 Comments/in , /by

Hello everyone!

As I was trolling the internet for something of interest to write about, I came upon this item, written by Michelle Binkley. I thought it was really sweet, and, if you are a romantic at heart, you may like this idea for a bouquet.

One of my favorite things to see at weddings is a bouquet put together as the bride walks down the aisle. This is an excellent consideration if you are on a strict budget, but it does take some time to plan ahead. Ask each significant friend or family member (about 10 – 15 people total) to bring a fresh cut bloom from their garden, or their favorite flower to the ceremony. Supply each with a water vial a few days before the wedding, (Bridesnblooms.com sells this product). Have them bring their bloom of choice in the water filled vial and sit it right on the aisle at the ceremony. As the Bride (that’s you) walks down the aisle, she collects the blooms and as the bundle of flowers grows, the Mom(s) can add the last bloom(s) and tie it off with a nice ribbon. Voila! – a group bouquet which doesn’t leave a dry eye in the house. You can request that they remove the vials just before they hand you the bloom. You may also want to put someone in charge of organizing this – phoning to remind them the day before, suggesting a standard length of the flower and finding out what flowers people are bringing so that nothing outrageous like half a rose tree is handed to you while heading down the aisle.

Don’t you just love this idea? I think it’s really sweet, and really helps to include those who you couldn’t have in your wedding party.

Have a flower filled day!!!
