Bling

           Hope you all had a good weekend. Every Bride needs a little sparkle on her wedding day. Bridal
jewelry enhances your image and makes you feel extra special. If you choose several pieces ( earrings, necklace, bracelet & hair ornaments) keep the look delicate.  If just a couple of pieces make them fabulous!
            The most important piece of advice that I have for you tonight is this: Look for accessories the day
of your Makeup & Hair trials. That will totally change
how you choose everything.
             And if you are a Chicago bride you absolutely have to go to The Left Bank on Webster. They have the most wonderful accessories including divine veils, headpieces & gorgeous shoes. Even for brides who prefer low comfortable heels. And they are friendly and down to earth.  www.leftbankjewelry.com
Have a great week, Visage Joli

Your Bridesmaids

Every Bride needs loving attention. Whether you are 25 or 55 you will have at least one loving Friend or Sister or Aunt helping you through the planning process and on the Wedding Day.
So take good care of those who care about you. Take them out to lunch or better yet make
them dinner. Treat your Maid of Honor to to a massage or a spa package of beauty products.
Take them shopping for their Wedding Day earrings. These are of course just suggestions.
Use your imagination and of course stay within your Bridal budget. Everyone understands that in a tough economy some of us have limitations. Look for sales (lots of them in January) and check Groupon for salon specials. Just have fun with your precious Wedding Day assistants.

Happiness

Hello All, This is gorgeous Sara . Sara was married on Saturday
January 8th. She was surrounded by a loving family, wonderful bridesmaids
and a Hair & Makeup Team who truly cared about her. So here is my tip for all of you future brides this week: Encircle yourselves on your wedding day with positive people who love you & want you to have a beautiful experience. There was a lovely aura of happiness in Sara's hotel room that I hope you all will feel on your wedding day.

Relaxation

       Ladies,  planning for your wedding can be stressful ! Have a massage every couple of weeks. You can find affordable packages at reputable chain massage businesses or really treat yourself & go to a private Massage
Therapist.   Here's a great one: Marilyn Fumagalli  (312) 965-0972
         Facials are also a wonderful way to relax and make your skin gorgeous for your wedding day. Just make sure that you get a good recommendation from a friend. My suggestion: have a facial at least 3 weeks before the big day to make sure your skin has plenty of time to settle down.  I have been to the esthetician at
Che Sguardo in Chicago & SHE IS AMAZING. She gives a fabulous neck & shoulder massage with one of
her facials.   (312) 464-1616
