A Summer Wedding By Pauleenanne Design

Summer Wedding

We were lucky enough to get to work on Beth & Matt’s beautiful wedding this past summer.  The blue and silver palette was a perfect palette, especially for a bride who loves her Bud Light!  With garden inspired and glamorous accents, Beth & Matt’s day was simply stunning.

We loved the personal touches at this wedding.  For desserts, family and friends made different treats to share with all of the guests – we think that was a great touch and a way to keep everyone included.

Another highlight was the wine bottle favors.  The personalized label with the couple’s “thank you” picture made it a unique, memorable and tasty favor!

Korver Photography did a marvelous job in capturing the joyful atmosphere throughout the ceremony and reception.  You can see more photos from their wedding on our Pinterest!

Your wedding day is your day to shine! All eyes will be on you and so you obviously want to look your very best (and for all the pictures!).

One of the most important details for a bride on her wedding day is her hair and makeup. Many brides, often do not put importance on getting their hair and makeup done as much as they do say their wedding dress or photographer etc.  However, the hair and makeup should be a top priority for every bride!  A bride wants to feel her most beautiful on her wedding day and what better way to do this than to hire a professional onsite hair and makeup artist. To feel beautiful the bride will spend thousands on a dress, but hair and makeup are very often an afterthought until they realize what am I going to do with my hair and makeup?! The thought of scheduling an appointment and all the bridesmaids to trek across town to spend all day in a busy salon is not the most appealing way to spend the day leading up to their wedding. Onsite hair and makeup, make getting ready with your friends and family relaxing, comfortable and fun! Just be sure to get a highly reviewed stylist, one that is reliable and talented. You should be able to see many images of their work and read reviews about the company. You want to be sure not just to hire a friend who does makeup, because I can tell you many times I have had to help people find a stylist on short notice because their friend/stylist cancelled on them.

The best advice I can give for pre-wedding hair care, is don’t do anything super dramatic a week or two before your wedding! No new bold hair color, or new short haircut…and the same goes with your skin (don’t get sunburned or do your first spray tan the day before your wedding)! Also, as a hairstylist I can do up-dos on washed hair (there is a myth your hair has to be dirty and sometimes greasy is not always good for doing hair). Consult with your hairstylist about this at your hair trial. I always tell my brides, if you like day old hair, great, if not then you can have clean hair on your wedding day, too. It makes no difference in my ability to do the up-do. However, some people have very oily hair and it looks better if they wash it the day of.

A Recap & Look Forward With Intern Brittany

Intern

Here’s a little recap from the summer months through the eyes of our new fall intern, Brittany, and a look forward for fall:

Intern

I have just recently taken on a new internship position full time here at Pauleenanne Design. Throughout the summer months I volunteered when I could as part of the Event Team. During the summer months I helped mainly with vendor calls, pricing comparisons, wedding prep, and wedding decor. I even was able to assist in the set up and take down at two different weddings through Pauleenanne Design this summer. I have improved so much as an intern with this company, but also independently as an event planner. This company gave me so much positive feedback and opportunities that I decided to take on a full time internship with them for school. So far through this full time internship as a marketing and promotions intern, I have gained experience with blogging and social media. I enjoy doing both and I am glad to gain formal experience in these areas. I look forward to what this fall internship has in store for me and I hope to keep gaining new experiences that I can keep with me in a career path!
