The Workshop: Holiday Glamour

Nearing the end of the past year, we held a special workshop covering all things “holiday”! Our team here at Ting Makeup collaborated with our friends at clothing brand, Morning Lavender, to offer our attendees a new take on their holiday styling! Morning Lavender is a wonderful shopping destination for all things sweet and romantic. Filled with delicate lace pieces and pastel numbers, shoppers would be delighted to browse through the unique selection featured on their site!

The Everlasting Bride

In simpler days, wedding gowns were kept clean and simple, free of embellishments and infinite frills. They ranged from laced sleeves to strapless gowns, guiding bridal trends into a more high-fashioned turn. But one bride that is everlasting, is definitely the “vintage bride”.

Trend Alert: “Sometimes, Less is enough”

The vintage bride has quite the minimalistic taste, sticking to simplicity and classic cuts. We selected Badgley Mischka’s Livia gown to channel our classic bride for its pin-tucked, deep neckline along with the beautiful draping of the cowlback. The deep, open back feature is elegant, yet tastefully sexy as well. This gown is timeless while bringing the focus on the bride herself. Even without the tulle and lace we see on most gowns, this number reminds us of what a ballerina dancer would wear on her wedding day.

Engagement Session: Alex and Cat

The Back story:

Our groom for this engagement session is one of my childhood friends, Alex. When we first interviewed Cat, our bride-to-be, on how the couple first met, she simply replied, “We met through friends, and that was it. It’s not that interesting.” Her simple and quite humbling response was definitely not a reflection of their admiral love for one another. Being around the couple throughout this shoot definitely magnified their love for each other to those around them. It is apparent in the photos that they are such a fun couple, full of laughter, and adoration for one another! Aside from styling the outfits, makeup, and hair for this shoot, we will be joining them in Taiwan as their artists for their nuptials on May 2015!

We had Tina Chiou Photography as our special photographer to help capture these sweet moments for our Mr. and Mrs.-to-be!

His & Hers

Outfit 1

Hers

This look was inspired by our “Princess in Every Girl” post with the same Space 46 Boutique white, tulle skirt. However, we kept things more casual to match our bride’s casual and sporty personal style. To do so, we paired the skirt with a denim chambray button-down top to keep the look “down-to-earth”.
Sticking to the casual, sporty vibe, the bride added a pair of white Converse sneakers to bring the look together. After all, she is a bride so a dash of white was absolutely necessary!

His

The groom complemented his bride’s look by matching her with a similar denim shirt by Ben Sherman. We intentionally chose different shades of blue for the bride and groom to give them both a varying dynamic in the photos. He completed his look with a pair of Diesel jeans and Jack Purcell Converse sneakers.

A New Year, A New Bride

Here at Ting Makeup and Hair, we are ready to start the new year with our very first bridal post! We look forward to sharing more tips and trends in this coming new year for all our ladies and future brides-to-be!


Trend Alert: “Pearlescent Tones are the New White” A woman in white from head-to-toe has always been recognized as a blushing bride rather than mistaken as a snow princess. “Wedding” and “white” have always gone hand-in-hand. But what would modern brides attest to? There’s a new “white” trend in town: subtle tones of blush, champagne, and even gray!

The Princess In Every Girl

Organza. Satin. Chiffon. Different materials can change the feel of a wedding gown; in its entirety. You can feel regal with a full, billowing organza skirt or carefree with a simple, flowing satin train. But to feel like a true princess, there is no better material than tulle.  Tulle is a light and airy material that exudes fantasy and whimsy, fitting for a fanciful engagement photoshoot. A perfect example of a fantastical tulle dress is modeled by one of Ting Makeup and Hair’s favorite fashion icons, Olivia Palermo. She paired a simple white top with a full-length, lace embroidered tulle skirt designed by Carolina Herrera.
