BridalGal, Fashion show, David's Bridal 2010 Spring Collection

David's Bridal held their Spring 2010 Collection preview to beauty and fashion editors at the BridalGal, Wedding Cafe, this past fall.

Catch a few trends.

Makeup and Hair: By BridalGal Pro Team

Venue: BridalGal Studios at the Wedding Cafe, NY, 16 E 38th St., NY, NY  10016

Makeup is more glamorous, classic, inspired by the beauties of the 40 and 50s. Glamour will always be in style. Hair is more free, but styled at the same time.  Modern Glamour is the key! Makeup and hair that looks as though you didn't try too hard.  Never  over done, yet noticeable and striking. 

 

 

A current trend that is quickly catching up is using feathers and jewelry on the hair to add a little dramma and bling. Use a broche or pearls mixed with rhine stones, etc. to add an elegant touch to the style.

More to come soon!

David Tutera
My Fair Wedding 
| 2c

David Tutera has worked with hundreds of brides over the years, but none of them quite like Mandy Ferrer. Mandy’s a bleach-blonde, tattoo-covered, Marilyn Monroe impersonator from Mount Ephraim, New Jersey, whose wedding to her fiancé, Mike, promises to be nothing  if not unique. A potluck reception for 200 guests...paper plates shaped  like vinyl records…a cupcake wedding cake with plastic spiders crawling  over the top. It’s enough to make David’s skin crawl. So with only a few weeks to go before the wedding, David and his team set out to turn this Marilyn wanna-be into a glamorous starlet—and transform her wedding into a scene right out of "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." First up: a lavish new pink and diamond-studded cake design by Sugar Couture. Next, David replaces Mandy’s reception dress and her  bridesmaid’s dresses with gorgeous new red-carpet inspired gowns by  designer Faviana and arranges for Mandy to have her own private photo shoot modeling one of the dresses. He also has her train with a top Broadway singing coach so she can serenade Mike at the reception.   Lilly Rivera, Foiunder of BridalGal transforms Mandy into a Hollywood Startlet, flawlessly covering airbrush makeup her huge tattoos and as well as her makeup.        But David’s biggest surprise is the reception itself...no longer at the wedding hall in Jersey where Mandy had planned, but rather in the grand ballroom of one of Philadelphia’s most spectacular hotels. It’s an unforgettable night for an unforgettable bride!

Makeup Design for Fall 2009 Fashion Week, February 13, 2009

Yes, up there,   that's me on the right,  removing eyebrows.  Venexiana's Kati Stern Designer was the opening show for Fashion week, Fall 2009 on February 13, 2009.  THE CLOTHES!!! My goodness, Hollywood glamour.  The task? Removing eyebrows, severe smoky eyes, glossy lips.  I loved the look so much I tried it on myself.

We were a group of 20 PLUS makeup artists with Stilista Agency  www.stilistaagency.com  doing the desiganted makeup look on the Tall, slim, and fab models (eating carrot and celery sticks and diet Coke!) We got great reviews for the model's looks. Click here: Stilista Agency : Hair : MakeUp : Fashion show video
