The Wedding Salon is proud to support this great cause!
Calling all former bridesmaids… WGirl has a way to put those old dresses to use. Donate them to the WGirls Project GLaM! The WGIRLS Project GLaM has been collecting and distributing prom dresses, makeup and accessories to girls in need since 2008. In NYC alone, they have outfitted thousands of young women for their prom with the help of generous donors and willing volunteers. With your help they hope to outfit over 2,000 economically disadvantaged young women for the 2012 Prom Season!
Give your bridesmaid and prom dresses “a second dance”. Individual donations can be dropped off or mailed to a number of different locations. For drop-off addresses and further information you can email: contact@nyc.wgirls.org.

In the past few years destination and beach Weddings have sky rocketed in popularity. Celebrities such as Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo , Kellie Pickler and Kyle Jacobs, and even Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott said “I do” by having a relaxing, beach wedding.
One of the best hair styles to say “I do” on the beach is the natural beach wave. It’s an easy, effortless hair style that can be versatile for your big day. Whether it’s a little humid or windy on your special day, this style will hold up all day and night. This look is very easy to achieve and it looks great on any face shape. A great way to get a natural beach wave is let your hair air dry and then use a large curling iron and create loose waves. The last step is to use hair spray to make sure that the waves stay in all day long. A great hair spray to use is Frederic Fekkai’s Sheer Hold Hairspray. It’s a light weight spray that won’t weigh your hair down or make it feel crunchy! Make sure you try out this hair style before your big day to make sure you absolutely love it!
One of the hardest parts of achieving a natural look on the beach is that your makeup can run when you’re in the sun. Since you are not wearing a lot of makeup with this look, it’s not a huge problem but is definitely something to be aware of. In order to avoid this problem, make sure that you prep your skin with a primer before applying your makeup. This will lock all of your make up into place so that you won’t have to worry about it running during your big day. A great primer is PurMinerals Correcting Primer. This product evens out all of your imperfections and helps keep your makeup looking fresh and in place!
No natural look is complete without a great smile! It is important to have your smile in tip top shape for your big day. Teeth whitening is the easiest way to achieve a great smile! There are so many at home product now that can save you the trip to the dentist and the big bill that comes along with it. Supersmile’s Quickee Teeth Whitening is a great product! It’s an easy whitener that you can use on the go that whitens teeth and removes stains. This whitener is great for on the go brides and fits perfectly in your purse!
All of these products will be in our Gift Bags in Los Angeles on March 19th at The SLS Beverly Hills! Get your ticket and reserve a gift bag at WeddingSalon.com!

Nude polish was all the rage on the runway at fashion week. Every shade from practically clear, beiges, topes, and almost translucent pinks are the biggest trend right now. Celebrities such as Kate Beckinsale, Anne Hathaway, and even Kate Middleton have been seen sporting nude nails. The barely there nail polish is great for any occasion, but especially for weddings!

Another hot trend right now is a bronzed smoky eye. This look is natural enough for everyday, but can be transformed to night easily! This look can be modified to fit all skin tones and is perfect to accentuate light eyes. Everyone from Emma Stone to Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron has been spotted on the red carpet with a bronzed eye.
