Oscar Looks = Wedding Day Glamour!!!

If you are anything like me….you watched the red carpet of the Oscar’s last night! I love the red carpet…the gowns…the make-up and the jewelry! Plus, award season is a great way to select your hair and make-up for your wedding day. I know I walked into the salon on my wedding day with an US WEEKLY in hand. It’s so much easier to show images of what you like on others when trying to create your perfect wedding day look.

Here are some looks that I loved last night:



Sandra Bullock: A classic yet red lip is flawless and so beautiful!

Zoe Saldana: This look is effortless beauty. It's simple and chic...I love it!

Kate Winslet: Modern and flawless!

SEND US YOUR ENGAGEMENT STORY!!!

SEND US YOUR ENGAGEMENT STORY!!!

A huge part of every wedding is the engagement. And with every engagement there is the story that will be told over and over for many years to come. Maybe it's that wedding season is about to being here in Arizona, maybe it's because I am sucker for a great love story...maybe it's both! But the truth still remains, you have a great love story that I want to hear about. I want to share it with the readers of the Arizona Weddings Blog. With assistance from my amazing Intern Sara Mc Daniel, we will be collecting your love stories and posting them on the Arizona Weddings Blog each week. Here's what we need...

· An image of the happy couple (a minimum 72 dpi)
· Couple's Info (Names, Contact Info)
· How did the couple meet?
· How did the engagement happen?

Send your information to Sara at intern@arizonaweddings.com

ADVICE FROM THE NEWLY MARRIED MRS. KRISTEN SHROYER

NAME: Kristen Shroyer

WEDDING DATE: February 6, 2010

ONE THING YOU LEARNED ABOUT PLANNING A WEDDING THAT ALL BRIDESMUST KNOW: Start early! Book your venue, DJ/band and florist right away. From there, do little things here and there to make the last couple weeks easy. Luckily, I had about a year to plan my wedding, and I did almost everything within the first six-eight months. As a result, I was able to relax and spend time with all of our friends and family, and enjoy the festivities of our wedding week. The Arizona Weddings Planning Checklist is a fantastic resource you must utilize! It's also much easier on your wallet to plan ahead, because you're going to be hit with a lot of bills the month of your wedding – so pay as you go!

WEDDING DAY HIGHLIGHT: There was a moment at the reception when Brad and I took a minute to take a step back and look around the ballroom. It was incredible to see all of our friends and family from across the country in the same room - we knew this was the one and only time in our lives this would happen. We both felt so special that all of these people were here to celebrate us and our marriage. Seeing Brad at the end of the aisle waiting for me was also an incredible highlight, a moment and feeling I will treasure forever.
