Secret Ingredient…

/2 Comments/in , , , , , , , /by

Sometimes I think I am so lucky…. I have a job where I get to work with my great friend Dorelle! I get to work with pretty flowers! I get to create artistic things and usually we are working on something happy and full of joy. Best of all though, we get to meet lots of people!

I have always been an artist and I’ve worked in many mediums. (Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, flowers are a medium). When left to my own devices I like to try something new or put colors and flowers together in fun patterns!  As consultants though, it is our job to listen to what our client wants and make that vision a reality. Give us a picture and we can make that happen. Explain your vision and we will work hard to bring that picture in your head to life.

Occasionally, there is the  client who really doesn’t know what they want and has absolutely no vision for their big day.  Sometimes we have the DIY client, who calls our Wholesale division and needs some guidance.  That is where Dorelle excels. She is the idea girl. If someone who calls needs some help, she will spend the time helping them bring their vision together. In our Design division I am sure that is why we work together so well. Whatever she dreams up, I will try!

Our families and friends have said we should be in a TV reality show because we play off each other so well. I’m not sure how entertaining for the masses that would be, but for us when working on a project it certainly makes the day more enjoyable. I know it is clear to our clients that we love what we do and we like working together.  Flowers, Friends & Fun. I think those are our secret ingredients and is there a better way to work than that?

Does your wedding video play like a blooper reel?

Do you wish you could do it all over again and have the wedding
you originally dreamed of?

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!

Aisle runners Custom made for you!

We’re so excited here at bridesnblooms.com. We found an amazing vendor with an even more amazing product!

Chic Unique Inc. is a company that specializes in custom made aisle runners. What a fantastic addition to your wedding (or any other occasion where you want to be the “center of attention”).

Chic Unique Inc. creates the most beautiful, handpainted aisle runners, unique to you. You get to pick the colors, the style, the ribbons, the verbage, and, best of all, what you will do with it after you walk on it.

It almost seems a shame to walk on such a beautiful work of art, but, hey, that’s what it’s there for. Once you have come down the aisle, you can choose to reuse the runner in various places at your event.

Beth recommends using it for a backdrop behind your sweetheart table, and then, once you return home, have it shortened and framed, or have a pillow made, for a keepsake that everyone can admire for years to come.

This is one of those items that “not everyone and their sister” will have. Be unique, be yourself!

So, if you are looking to step up the look of your ceremony and have a wonderfully beautiful keepsake for years to come, check out www.chicuniqueinc.com I’m sure you’ll be glad you did.

Hi everyone!

I have another fantastic vendor to introduce you to. I bet, unless you are a celebrity or a very high end bride, that you thought you couldn’t have a custom sketch of your wedding gown. That’s right, a true artist, skilled in fashion design will sketch out your gown, just for you!

What an amazing keepsake for you! You may not wind up keeping your actual gown, but, for all eternity, you will have a sketch of the gown you wore.

Is that not totally cool?

Here’s what Heather needs from you…

-Pictures of your dress-you can email or if you only have hard copies you can mail them
Any specific details you would like to focus on (if this is beadwork you must make sure it is clear in the pictures)
-She will also do a front view or a back view, or can do both for an extra fee
TIME:
-You should allow 2-3 weeks for the sketch to be completed and in the mail to you (so if this is a gift, please contact Heather at least a month in advance)
What you will receive :

-Either an 8×10 or an 11×13 picture of your sketch

Please Note: Heather’s sketches are an artistic interpretation of your dress as she sees it…..It will not be an exact replica.
