A Splash of Color

While we enjoy the Eid festivities, we are still in celebration mode as we approach Halloween tomorrow. Here's a fun and quirky look you can wear on your face and have a limitless choices of outfits to go with it.

You can use paint, you can use powder, you can use creams. The makeup options are endless when it comes to coloring your face. This is a picture I came across and loved as it is very unique to your face, you are basically going wild with your makeup creating your very own masterpiece. With this look, you won't have to worry about anyone coming dressed as you.

As your face will be very colorful, keep the outfit subtle to keep the attention on your face, wear one color outfit in black, white, nude or pastels. And do go wild with your hair. Apply a little color on your arms and legs if they are bare.

If anyone asks what are you coming as, simply tell them I am a splash of color :)

Have a creepy Halloween!

Runway Brides... New York Fashion Week

New York Fashion Week... four words that make every fashionista weak at the knees!

For us, nothing makes us tingle more than the perfect wedding dress, the element that brings a wedding together and the first dress the bride will wear as a married woman... arguably the most romantic item of clothing a girl will ever own or wear!

We couldn't contain our excitement when we heard that Project Runway's Season 5 winner Leanne Marshall  would be showcasing her Spring/Summer 2013 bridal collection at NYFW. Even more intrigued were we when we heard she had been inspired by none other than the most common of vegetables: the cabbage! 

What do you think? Can you see yourself making your grand entrance as Mrs. in one of these?

The green-hued cabbage creation

A vision in white - it doesn't get more romantic than this!

Ethereal and light - for a daytime wedding perhaps?

A key color this trend - for brides wishing to be bold, different but still  turn heads!

Graduation After Party

Last week, we had the most nostalgic event ever, we went back in time to our school days  and had to transform Latifa School for Girls, dining hall into an amazing after party. Our client asked a whole transformation for her daughter's after graduation teatime party. Purple opulence meets Hot Miami was the theme we were going for. The aim of our event was to transfer the fresh graduates into a joyful venue where they really feel that they're all grown up and have reaped what they've sown.This was a true celebration that the graduates truly deserved.

The Before pictures...

 

 The After pictures....

The entrance was reminiscent of the tassle dresses of the 70's which was filled with shades of purple colored ribbons. 

Here's another view of the entrance, after going through the ribbons you enter a bliss of purples and whites.

        The buffet's ceiling was decorated using our custom made tassel chandeliers.      

Floral cylinders were also placed between the scrumptious bite size food.                   

A lounge area was created for the graduates to chill on and dine on.

On this seating area there was an emotional presentation prepared for the graduates to watch after dining. 

Florals for the cocktail tables and sofas.....

The party was a hit among the youngsters, we wish them a fruitful future in their next chapters of their lives.

Planning Brangelina's Wedding

If you were a wedding planner for the Jolie-Pitts, what ideas would you choose and how will you execute it? Bearing in mind the uniqueness of this couple.Here are a couple of  ideas for a Brangelina wedding by concocting every detail that makes this couple's identity from the dress to the China to the stationery.The result of the vision roots  from the couple having movie careers, six kids and their involvement with international charities.

The Venue would be in the Chateau Miraval, which was bought by Brad and Angelina in the south of France. An out doors wedding  in its enchanted garden would look just divine.


The Lounge area will have contemporary styled sofas, with pillows that add just the right amount Brangelinaness if there was  an adjective as such. Jason Wu's line for pillows has the perfect combo of off white colored background with patches of black lace that compliments the couple's edgy taste.


The Bouquet of the bride would be white calla lilies,as its slender and chic, just like Angie's style on the red carpet. Given Angelina's slightly broody past, callas are sometimes associated with wakes and funerals.


The Centrepieces would be dark colored vases filled with white  flowers a la classic black -and-white elegance .To induce a bit of boldness, the dinnerware used would be that of Hèrmes collection of  Balcon du Guadalquivir, that combines French elegance with a dab of the extrinsic giving off an ambassadorial ambiance.


The Cake would be a macaroon tower filled with crispy and decadently cream filled macaroons instead of the traditional wedding cake.


The Stationery, Bernard Maisner, the fancy  decoration and old-fashioned gothic font with its blood-red wax seal are  at once bourgeois and mysterious just like the couple themselves.


The Menu, a reflection of their adopted children of Vietnamese and Cambodian origins. Asian /Cajun fusion that is deep fried and served on the impossibly fine china.


Brangelina's personal flair  would be embedded all over the wedding for their love of ebony, ivory and a touch of exoticism.
