3. Sexy lingerie and underwear are a must even if you are not planning on having hot sex on your wedding night. It will make you feel more attractive. Besides… isn’t it better to cuddle up against soft silk jammies or a lace undie than a worn off garment?

Choose sexy lingerie for your wedding night.

4. Most couples have already been intimate before getting married and many live together. They could be a bit disillusioned with the wedding night. Don’t despair! Choose something you’ve never tried before – tender-sweet lovemaking under a starry sky, making a long-time fantasy come true – or withhold from being intimate for the whole week before the wedding. You want this night to be scintillating!

5. We love wedding night ideas that include water. It’s sensual, fun and quite relaxing! After a whole day filled with excitement, diving into a tub for two sounds divine. Warm water, salts. scented candles, music and two glasses of bubbly. Soap it up! 🙂

6. Set the mood with aromatic oils. Give each other a full body massage. The oils will awaken the senses while relaxing all of the right parts. Are you taking note of these wedding night ideas?

Even if you are exhausted, give these wedding night ideas a shot. Make this night unforgettable!

7. You may be spent. But it’s never too late for some cuddling. Play some background noise you have heard like a gazillion times and get lost in each other’s embrace.

If you are really tired, enjoy a little cuddling before falling asleep. Be ready for an amazing morning! Photo: Toa Heftiba/BYW.

8. Play with your food! (yes, you’ve been told not to do this but tonight is an exception) Watch 9 1/2 weeks with Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger if you haven’t already. You’ll find it on Amazon Prime (at least, as of right now) and on YouTube. It will definitely inspire you!

With so many people to greet, the bride and groom may never get to try their own wedding cake! A friend can put a couple of slices – or more- in a box. Photo: Whitney Wright/BYW.

9. Turn your wedding night into make-out night! Keep your underwear on and wait until the first night of your honeymoon. Movies and popcorn allowed!

How to Pick (the Best) False Eyelashes for Different Eye Shapes

Have you tried to wear falsies and failed? We reveal the secret to pick the best false eyelashes for your eye shape! Read on!

Stunning fake eyelashes. Bold and thick.

Wearing false eyelashes is one of the fastest and simplest ways to make your eyes stand out. But, have you tried to flaunt long false eyelashes and failed? You may not have picked the perfect falsies for your eye shape. Don’t let these small details ruin your perfect makeup!

False eyelashes can make your eyes look sunken, smaller or even bigger. You should consider which ones are a good fit for you, and it all depends on the shape of your eye. Check out these tips and pick your best pair of false eyelashes!

But first, a few tips for Fake Eyelashes

For a natural look, enhance your lashes by adding a subtle length and volume. This is best for beginners and those brides who do not want people to notice their falsies.

And:

If this is your first time wearing falsies, don’t go for a dramatic look
Always trim your false eyelashes before applying them.
Don’t go overboard with the glue or pick magnetic eyelashes instead.
Don’t ever sleep with you false eyelashes on.
For lash extensions, your stylist should take into consideration the shape of both your face and eyes. And suit the styling of the lash extensions to how you would like your eyes to look.

All eyes can benefit from false eyelashes, be it with a cat eye or a more dramatic yet wispy vibe.

Gorgeous flirty lashes perfect for day or night.

False Eyelashes on Fleek for Small Eyes

For small eyes, false eyelashes are highly recommended. For a cute vibe go for longer lashes on the center of the eyes, it will make your eyes look bigger, more round and open. Avoid them if you already have round eyes. You should also choose falsies that combine long and short lashes, to get a more open look.

Long and curled false eyelashes for round hooded eyes.

Picking Falsies for Almond Eyes

It’s super easy to identify almond shaped eyes. They look like two perfect almonds! Any look will look good with this eye. With lots of lid space, these eyes will look super fab with a dramatic eye. The glam look is perfect for those who want high volume, length and curl in their lashes. Volume, volume and more volume!

How to Choose False Eyelashes for Close-Set Eyes

If you have been super concerned with your close set eyes and want to make them pop, falsies are a must. Choose false eyelashes with more volume on the outer corner. This will give the impression of wider set eyes. For this sultry and exotic look, pick fake eyelashes with longer outer corners. They will emphasize the width of the eyes. Nifty little secret, right?

Close set eyes can benefit from a very elongated cat eye and fluttering eyelashes. Photo: vivianetomaz.

Lashes for Wide Set Eyes that are Fire

On the opposite side of the spectrum, we have eyes that are set far apart from each other. Call attention away from the outer corners, so avoid angled lashes. Choose false eyelashes with the same length from the middle to the outer corner. Work the eyeliner extending it towards the bridge of your nose.

Picking the Most Fab Eyelashes for Deep Set Eyes

How do you know if your eyes are deep set? Place your index finger upwards over your eye. If you cannot touch it, then you have amazing deep set eyes. The doll look, also recommended for round eyes, and with long and very wispy lashes are a great choice. Any false eyelashes that are very long and very voluminous will give the illusion of less depth. False eyelashes that are very long in the middle will help draw the eye forward as well.

Today we will leave you with a couple of diva looks. The reason? False eyelashes! They will lift any look and make it even more glamorous.

Perfect Fake Lashes for Prominent Eyes

Prominent eyes are expressive, so the natural look is the most fitting both for day or night. For an instant smoldering vibe, add longer lashes at the outer end to create a cat eye. Or try long and curly lashes in the middle for a flirty look. It is best to opt for falsies with separate lashes and not much volume so they don’t overwhelm your eyes.

False lashes are the quickest, easiest way to open up your eyes and make them appear infinitely larger.

False Eyelashes for Hooded Eyes (or Heavy Lided)

The secret with hooded eyes is to cover the eyelid. Opt for curlier lashes, lashes that are longer in the outer corner on in the middle. A nice cat eye with long and curled lashes will look divine. Avoid straight lashes at all costs. Go thin with your eyeliner or pick a sparkly one to brighten the look.

A great tip? Apply individual false eyelashes to the outer part of your lash line! Use a tweezer to apply individual false eyelashes for extra precision.

Long, dramatic false eyelashes for days!

Get Flirty Looks for Round Eyes!

If you have round eyes, avoid voluminous false eyelashes as they round up the eye even more. It is best to opt for long, thin and separate falsies. Or some with a short-long pattern, that gives a bit of a doll-like effect that opens up the eye. You may also choose winged and wispy lashes that go along the lash line well to help create a cat eye shape.

Best False Eyelashes for Monolids

Monolids lack that natural double crease plus the lids cover most of the eyelashes making them look shorter.
Longer lashes definitely help draw attention to your eyes. So, a less dense pair of fake and curly eyelashes can add more volume and create a believable, lush look. Pick some with natural length bur lots or curl, preferably elongated ones for a cat eye effect. Go ahead and flaunt your peepers!

Best Lash Looks for Upturned Eyes

Lucky you and your permanent cat eyes! So many choices to frame those beautiful eyes. If you are looking to accentuate your feline shape, try any lashes that fan out with the most volume on the outer ends. If you want to balance them out, pick lashes that are thick and full. Now go out and play!

Planning Tips

How to Plan the Best Bridal Shower Party Ever: Etiquette, Ideas & Tips

Looking for guidance and ideas to plan the best bridal shower party ever? At least, one that your friends will want to attend? Then check out these innovative ideas for bridal shower planning!

Delicious and original ideas to plan the best bridal shower party ever!

I know, I know, all of us have attended a bridal shower party that left us yawning and wanting to flee. All the cutsey gifts and games can be downright boring. But these gatherings are supposed to be fun. A chance for family and friends to mingle, enjoy and gift the bride-to-be.

And if you’re the hostess tasked with organizing one, here’s how to plan the best bridal shower party ever!

Wedding Shower Planning Ideas & Etiquette

Let’s go through all the good stuff you need to know if you never planned a bridal shower before.

The first question always is: who organizes the bridal shower? Generally the maid of honor with the help of the bridesmaids are in charge of planning the wedding shower.

If there is no appointed maid of honor or bridesmaids, the future bride’s friends could organize a small gathering or outing. Nowadays, anyone can be involved in the planning, except the couple.

Now that the host or hostess has been established, these are a few rules of etiquette to follow and these are: there are no rules to follow! (not anymore!)

Who Pays for this Shindig?

With one exception. Whoever is planning the event will cover its cost. But don’t despair! You can always split the cost amongst the rest of the bridal party. Or cut your costs with the bridal shower party ideas we’ll share. Or save by hosting it at somebody’s home. Remember to help clean up afterwards!

Organize a bridal shower at a nearby park.

And Who Gets an Invite?

I guess there’s another exception. Try not to invite anybody who’s not invited to the wedding (unless the couple is eloping or hosting a pop-up wedding). There’s nothing more hurtful than finding out you weren’t invited and still have to buy a wedding shower gift.

Traditionally a women-only affair, you can go against the norm and plan a Jack and Jill shower – not a reference to a shower stall. 😉 You can invite the groom’s circle of friends and relatives to get in on the fun too.

Keep it simple and enjoy a relaxed time with your bridal party in soft flannel.

How to Plan the Best Bridal Shower Party

Some of us love party planning and some, not so much. So, first rule of fun bridal shower party planning: engage and enlist everybody that volunteers! Start by coming up with a shared vision – there’s nothing wrong with a good brainstorming – and ask who wants to be in charge of what. You’ll be amazed at what people are able to do and how much they want to help out.

If you want to plan the best bridal shower party, don’t leave everything to the last minute. Check with the bride things like date, guest list and list of unapproved items and/or themes. Unless, the bride says otherwise, try to leave the raunchy stuff for the bachelorette party.

We’ve got you covered! Check out these ideas for a fun bachelorette party!

Pick your fav restaurant and host a fantastic bridal shower party.

Announce the Bridal Shower Party Date

Next, it’s time to let everybody know when and where. No need to break the bank: email, whatsapp and text are there for a reason. For all of those guests who do not dabble in digital communications, unless there’s too many of them, a phone call will do. If you really want to have printed invitations, indulge! Remember to let people know this is a surprise and if they are supposed to bring a gift that matches a theme. Some examples of themes are honeymoon basics, lingerie party, you get the idea.

Either through emails or snail mail, send them at the very least four to six weeks before the bridal shower party date.

Remember to ask for an RSVP and track your guest list.

There’s More to the Planning

Schedule a couple of calls or get together with the rest of the organizers to make sure the bridal shower planning is on track. The day before, run the final check and address any last minute details. Now, let’s move onto the bridal shower party ideas!

Now’s the time to check out these very original ideas to make the bridal shower entertaining and different.

A classic idea for a bridal shower is to personalize it with a theme. It helps tailor gifts and guests attire in a fun way. Garden, lingerie, housewares, and gourmet food and wine showers are some of the most popular ones.
Do you have just a few guests? How about a relaxing mani-pedi session, a chill meet-up at the spa, or a group pottery class? Or go back to your childhood years with a girls-only slumber party!

No need for silly games. Pick your favorite restaurant, relax and enjoy the wedding shower!
Springtime bridal showers can be hosted at a nearby park with a BYOD (bring your own dish) picnic. In the winter you can do the same at somebody’s home. Just have fun with your bridal shower planning.
Interactivity is key and it helps break the ice. Organize a self-serve bar station or have a Polaroid guestbook signing session. You can also get a hold of a frame and some photo-booth props to add to the fun.

More Bridal Shower Party Planing Ideas

Classic wedding shower games are a party starter when all else fails. Have a few in your back pocket. Try bridal bingo, Jeopardy, Jenga. Infuse the truth or dares, bridal trivia, ring toss, coed mind reading, or karaoke to fire up the action.

Food can be as simple as a family-style pasta lunch or dinner or some delish desserts. A morning shower party can be sweetened with granola, pastries, and Bloody Mary’s in addition to punch and coffee. Light refreshments like sweet rolls, crudités and a cheese plate work well during the mid-afternoon. For an evening shower, consider a dessert or a doughnut bar.

After much bridal shower partying, the highlight of the event is the gift opening. Presents should be unwrapped towards the end of the party. Make a list of who gave what to the bride, so she can write thank-you notes later.

All in all, let the guests mingle and have fun. Hosting bridal showers can be nerve-racking but it shouldn’t be. Just pick a few of these ideas or skip the bridal shower party altogether and go straight for the bachelorette party! Check out these ideas!

Once you’ve picked your wedding gown, it’s all about choosing the right jewelry to go with it and with you.

We have tapped onto the expertise of Aya Birman, owner and designer of Wedding by Lullaot, a remarkable handmade wedding jewelry and accessories brand. Only the highest quality materials are used in meticulously crafting her exquisite handmade bridal jewelry and ornaments that feature an incredibly elegant finish.

Let’s Talk About Aya: Wedding Jewelry Designer

Aya is a jewelry designer and wedding apasionada that creates timeless wedding jewelry and accessories. Seven years ago, she opened her first concept shop in the famous Israeli bridal dress district in Tel Aviv. Steps away from Galia Lahav, Inbal Dror and so many of the wedding gown designers trending today.

During that time, she provided full styling services to hundreds of brides. She helped them wear the perfect look and feel beautiful on an important day in their lives. Aya told us that matching her designs to brides and assisting them in completing their look allowed her to be a part of their magical moments, their excitement and their dreams.

“It’s especially exciting when brides come by the shop after the wedding,” Aya says, “and share their wedding stories and photos with me.”

Just hearing the excitement in her voice when she speaks about her passion will make you understand why her pieces are absolute masterpieces.

How to Choose Wedding Jewelry: An Expert’s Guide

There are a few fundamentals to follow when picking wedding jewelry. So, first things first. If you already know your bridal style and bought your wedding dress, keep on reading. Otherwise, check Aya’s advice at the end of the article and then come back here.

Aya’s Tip #1: It is wise to pick the jewelry after you’ve chosen your wedding dress.

How to Pick Bridal Jewelry that Matches your Wedding Dress Style

Everybody wants to look ‘perfect and flawless’ on their special day. Therefore, it is crucial to wear wedding jewelry that matches your wedding dress style. The following guidelines will help you find the type of jewelry that goes best with your dress style.

Sheath, trumpet or mermaid gown wedding dresses perfectly match sparkling Swarovski crystal jewelry for a sexy, elegant and glamorous look.
A-line shape dresses are flattering to most body types and give brides a subtle and elegant feel. Complete this classic look with soft and delicate pearl bridal jewelry or vintage jewelry sets.
A ball gown dress bestows an aristocratic and nostalgic look to the bride. Create a very aristocratic look with pearl encrusted jewelry and a small gentle sparkle of Swarovski crystals, combined with a hair crown or a delicate hair comb. Vintage jewelry can also be a great fit for a romantic bride.
Short dresses give out an informal vibe that fits the non-traditional bride. Complement the dress and give it a playful look with colorful or geometric-shaped jewelry.
A tea-length dress is also informal yet light and sophisticated. Pair it with dainty gentle jewelry or pick a delicate vintage piece, like a choker with a cameo.
For a rustic or boho bride wearing an A-Line or a sheath dress, choose light and gentle wedding jewelry that seamlessly integrates with her dress. Combine gold and pearls with nature-inspired motives such as flowers, deer or leaves. Unless wearing a flower crown, hair combs and golden tiaras with small encrusted gems can be a great addition. Otherwise, choose a gold bracelet and a pair or small earrings.

Aya’s Tip #2: If your gown has long sleeves avoid wearing a bracelet.

How to Choose Wedding Jewelry According to the Dress Neckline

The neckline of a dress will heavily influence the shape, length and type of bridal jewelry you may suitably wear.

A deep plunging V-neck needs to be shown off. Match it with a statement bracelet. For the flat-chested bride, add a long flowy necklace with a pair of matching earrings.
For a jewel neckline, skip the necklace altogether and wear earrings and hair jewelry only.
Strapless gowns or off-the-shoulder necklines that highlight your wonderful shoulders and collarbone will go best with relatively short, round structured, necklaces and stud earrings. Or make a statement and go for strikingly gorgeous chandelier earrings and no necklace. You’ll look like the goddess that you are!
Portrait necklines cover more of the shoulders, thus a delicate pearl drop or diamond shape pendant or some pearl strands can be a great fit. Earrings will complete your look.
For those brides with a serious décolletage and a sweetheart neckline, go for a short necklace and bracelet and seriously show it off!
With bateau or scoop dress necklines wear dominant and elegant earrings and skip the necklace.
Halter dresses would benefit from some statement earrings and a stunning bracelet.
Back scoop neckline? With your open back, make a definite exit by wearing some jewelry on it.

Aya’s Tip #3: Fuller chested brides should not wear a long necklace – the hanging and calling attention to the area is a definite no-no.

Wedding Jewelry for your Face Shape

The selected ornament must complement both the shape of your face and the hairstyle you’ve chosen. Which is why we also recommend picking your bridal jewelry once you have an idea of your hairstyle. Nonetheless, visible wedding jewelry can help or hinder your look. Check out these tips to avoid costly mistakes.

Dangling designs are deemed perfect for a round face. To create an illusion of length, wear long ornaments.
For an oval face, pick chandeliers or earrings with circles, curves and large studs. Oval and teardrop styles are ideal for oval faces.
Similarly, round-shaped jewelry goes great with rectangular faces. Earrings that soften your bone structure and add some curves are preferable. Also, avoid wearing strong line and wide jewelry pieces.
In order to balance a heart-shaped face, earrings with elongated curves are just the right choice.

A back pendant over their exposed backs – for daring brides only.

Aya’s Tip #4: Don’t go jewelry crazy just because you are the bride. If you usually wear a couple of pieces, make those shine. If you wear none, just pick one you wouldn’t mind rocking at the ceremony or at the dance floor!

Always remember, less is more. Just because it fits someone, doesn’t mean it will be best for you too. It doesn’t look good if your face or neck are swamped with jewelry.

Carefully select the kind of wedding jewelry that you would want to wear. Pick a color for your accessories that go well with your dress.

How to Choose your Bridal Style

For those brides who are still on the fence, Aya recommends following three steps: Imagine, Find your style and Plan.

Imagine

Start by imagining your wedding day. Imagine what your event will look like. Imagine how you would look. Imagine the dress of your dreams and how you would feel walking down the aisle in it. Try to be as detailed as possible, as it will make it easier to make your dreams come true.

Find your Style

While imagining and visualizing your dream wedding, find your style. Are you a classic, romantic or a sexy bride? Are you a rustic, boho, or an eclectic modern bride? What is the style and vibe you want to pursue?

Plan

If you are wearing a strapless gown make a statement and go for these eye catching leaf shaped filigree and Swarovski crystal earrings and no necklace.

An Expert’s Guide to Choosing the Right Wedding Jewelry: Final Words

Consider your bridal style before looking for that perfect piece of jewelry. Carefully select the kind of wedding jewelry that you would want to wear. Pick a color for your accessories that go well with your dress. Most of all, your selection of wedding jewelry, earrings, bracelets and hair jewelry should make you feel comfortable. It’s your wedding day after all!

Remember that your wedding dress is one of the most important details on your big day. Jewelry and accessories are the icing on the cake. The perfect finish that should complete your look. It’s important to add them carefully.

Aya’s wedding jewelry ranges from $40 to $150, depending on the piece. Visit Aya’s jewelry store on Etsy and she will help you pick the perfect accessories for you to shine on your wedding day!

Bridal Bouquets without Flowers: Unique and Stylish for the Non-Traditional Bride

Check out this collection of bridal bouquets without flowers dedicated to the non-traditional, allergic or eco-conscious bride!

That special someone won’t be able to take their eyes – and nose – off this fabulous bouquet made with dried lavender.

Not everybody wants flowers at their wedding. Some brides simply do not like them, others care about the carbon footprint their wedding will leave behind – for these brides, we recommend reading this article on farm to table catering. Other brides may want a bridal bouquet that fits an alternative-styled wedding and others may just be allergic to flowers!

The Bridal Bouquet Tradition

Bridal bouquets are a tradition that goes back hundreds of years. Back in the day wedding bouquets were carried as a ways for the bride to ward off evil. They didn’t necessarily have flowers, more like herbs and plants for good luck and protection. Since most people have forgotten the meaning of plants for these purposes these day’s bouquets have lost their original meaning. Therefore, brides can get creative with what they will be carrying down the aisle on their wedding day. Below are a few ideas for non-traditional wedding bouquets without flowers.

Why not take advantage of the creativity of these gorgeous and unique wedding bouquet ideas? Make your ceremony even more memorable with these non floral bouquets!

Non-Floral Brooch Bouquets: Oh! So Vintage!

Bright jewel pins add a sparkle to a bridal bouquet. They can be coordinated to match the wedding colors. Perhaps consider using antique or heirloom brooches from a family member and turn your wedding bouquet into a true vintage masterpiece.

Brooches and buttons by themselves or mixed with felt flowers add a vintage feeling to the bride’s bouquet. Also, try adding the buttons into centerpieces or party favors to keep continuity to the motif.

Wedding Bouquet Ideas for Summer for the Non-Traditional Bride

Ok, so flowers are the obvious choice for a wedding in the summer, but that doesn’t mean flowers are your only option. This is the perfect season to carry a paper fan or pinwheel paper flower. Some brides take advantage of the season to create beautiful, fragrant and unique bridal bouquets without flowers by added herbs like sage or rosemary or sprigs of lavender and wheat.

Folded colorful paper flowers are unique ways to show off the bride’s personality while keeping the cost of the wedding down. Most brides that go this route choose a paper that has deep personal meaning for them. Sheet music of your favorite song, pages from a favorite novel, or an old personal letter can add a special touch to your wedding day.

Non-Floral Bridal Bouquets for Winter Weddings

Let your imagination run wild when creating winter bridal bouquets without flowers! Fall or winter weddings are the perfect time to stray away from the traditional flower bouquet. Evergreens or pinecones give more of a “wintery” feel. Or if you want to use an inorganic material, consider using pearls and beads.
