| If you are a bride or groom planning to capture your wedding day on an HD video format, taking advantage of the latest wedding makeup techonology is key. Introducing...HD bridal makeup! |
 |
|
According to Lori Pinsky, Makeup Artist, HD bridal makeup is the way to go for your HD wedding video, as these products are formulated with mattifying and reflecting powders to create a “soft focus effect”. HD makeup formulas contain mattifying agents to prevent shine avoid glare, and for this reason, the foundations are usually oil-free. The skin appears natural looking and absolutely glowing, and fine lines, blemishes, and uneven texture will be concealed. The foundations and powders are so sheer; they blend like a second skin. |
 |
| And as a bonus, HD makeup formulations are designed to moisturize because makeup can settle into lines, more apparent in dry complexions. The hydration in the foundations plump up dry skin and make lines less noticeable, perfect for the bride wanting to look her best on her wedding day. |
 |
|
A few things to remember when using HD makeup for your wedding: You want to avoid shine. If you use shimmer, highlight where you want to see sheen. If you go overboard your face will look greasy. Try to avoid anything too frosty or high gloss. Don’t over -powder. A “too matte” face can accentuate the fine lines and texture on the skin. Using a light powder to reduce shine, (preferably one that is HD formulated) it will keep your skin looking the most natural.

| Vintage wedding decor has hit the bridal world big-time in the last two years, yet for a bride or groom looking to create a vintage vibe at their wedding, finding a rental company that offers such amazing heirloom and antique style pieces was near to impossible...UNTIL NOW! Introducing... |
 |
 |
| ...Found Vintage Rentals! The @YWDmag team had the pleasure of experiencing some of founder Jeni Maus' amazing finds at a recent dinner party, and we couldn't wait to share her amazing work with you. |
 |
 |
 |
| When looking for vintage and antique pieces for her showroom, Jeni finds inspiration in every piece's potential: "I tend to look at the world as a sea of possibility. I love seeing potential; potential in people, in places, and in deconstructed upholstered furniture. When a piece just cries-out for down cushions, comfy fabric, and new details, I want to make it happen. I scour every town, hill,and dale for new treasures. I've been known to fly across the country, sleep in my car, and stop traffic to get my hands on the perfect piece. Some people might call it an obsession, I call it passion." |

| Prior to the wedding, the couple participated in family tradition by hosting a wedding tea ceremony, incorporating both traditional and modern elements. |

 |
| The story of how the bride and groom met, straight from the gorgeous bride's mouth: Barry and I met 7 1/2 years ago at a New Year's Eve event in Los Angeles. Though the event was quite large, we bumped into each other a couple of times throughout the night and ended up talking for a long time. A couple months later, we started dating. It's ironic because after our first date, I jokingly told my friends I would marry him. It's funny how things work out! I think our relationship is special because we are the best of friends, we make each other laugh all the time and we support each other in every way! |

We agree...Congratulations Bonnie and Barrie! |
