Megan and Bill's NYC Wedding

Here is a sneak peak at Bill and Megan's big day in NYC.  They had a beautiful evening wedding at the  Hudson Terrace .  Following the ceremony we enjoyed cocktails on the rooftop terrace.  We made our way downstairs to the reception where we finished with Magnolia Cupcakes.

A Wedding in the City of Brotherly Love

On August 18, 2012, Robbie and Tracy tied the knot.  The Ceremony took place on the balcony at the  Seaport Museum on Penn's Landing in Philadelphia, the reception followed on the second floor of the museum.  Tracy's dress is from  Sabrina Ann's in Ardmore.  The florist, from Philadelphia, was Judith Campbell Studios.  Thank you for the beautiful pictures  Carley K Photography.  The couple had great weather and treated guests to traditional Philadelphia favorites, including Philly soft pretzels when leaving the reception. Best wishes for a long and happy life together!

Bridal Hair and Makeup

The Capelli Team has been very busy getting brides ready for their Wedding Day!  Myself, Jess, and Katie have been beautifying these brides at the salon as well as on location.  The venues have been amazing!  Check out one of the venues off of Long Beach Island, NJ Mallard Island Yacht Club .  We're looking forward to the upcoming weddings at The Crossings Vineyard in Washington Crossing PA.

We have been using a combination of MAC cosmetics and Beauty Addicts in the way of make-up.  As far as hair products we are loving the Sea Salt Spray by Label M and Lakme K style Chalk.

Congratulations to Janet just recently married. I am happy to have been a part of her special day.

The Artistry of Hair

Types of Braids used:Finding innovative ways to incorporate braids into my UpDo's is one of my favorite ways to create new styles.  Thankfully this wedding party was super fun, young and up for experimenting with some new hairdo's. I haven't recieved the professional photos as of yet but here is a preview of some of my work.Finding  

Types of braids used: 
Fishtail
"Resembling or suggestive of the tail of a fish in shape or movement."
 -using two pieces of hair to form a braid as opposed to the standard three strands.
French Braid
 -Three strands of hair woven together by adding hair outside of those pieces to create a set in look.

Create the Look

Here is one way to use Label M products....

Recreate the look Silji Vincent of Toni&Guy achieved on Evangeline Lilly's up-do

1.Prepare the hair with label.m Volume Mouse,and blow-dry smooth using a TONI&GUY Large Hot Brush.
2. In large sections tong the hair using TONI&GUY Jumbo Wave & Curl Tongs, spray each section with label.m Hairspray to hold the curl.
3. Divide the hair in two at the crown. Secure the bottom section in a ponytail in the centre of the head. Then take the front triangle section and gently tease and back-comb at the roots to create height, use label.m Resurrection Style Dust, and massage into the roots to enhance the volume.
4. Guide the front section back to meet the ponytail and secure with subtle pins and grips.
5. Finally use label.m Shine Mist and run fingers through the length of the ponytail to open up the wave, then a spritz of label.m Hairspray, for lasting hold.

Beauty Addicts

Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend a Beauty Addicts make-up class with Janine Pizza of Depasquale Salon Systems. I'm loving the products...they are anti-aging and plant based. Beauty Addicts can be worn by those with sensitivities to other products, as they are gentle and some hypoallergenic. Check it out for yourself and enjoy your new look....
