The Perfect Wedding Dress

by Plesir, in WEDDINGS

Is the one that is perfect for YOU!

so this is the story....
I know this girl from the University, she is from Brazil, her family has tons of money, and she is getting married.

She asked me to help her choose the dress for her dream wedding!
With a budget of 300,000 US dollar (overall) I guess we can really work...Let's say we will use 5% of the budget, and that is little, to purchase her dress, well I end up with about 15 thousand dollars...just for her dress...
She will have a formal wedding, at church and then a reception in some chateau, undecided yet.
She comes from a traditional, ultra catholic family, but being also Brazilian her dress style has to be a combination of traditional, classic, contemporary and sexy.

Traditional - because of her family upbringing, the importance given to religious rituals and social obligations/standards/pressures.
Classic - because as a Bride she would always want to look TIMELESS. She wouldn't want to be that woman that in ten or let alone five years from now, looks at her wedding pictures and wonders, Why did I do that?!?
Contemporary - what? Wouldn't that be contradicting the "classic"? Well, I didn't say "trendy" I said contemporary, she would want a touch of fashion, of newness, specially of you are young and a student @ FIT! She is only 24 years old by the way, which makes me wonder if she is not too young to be getting married. But well, she asked for advice on dresses, not on relationships!
Sexy - because she is a Latin woman, she has a beautiful slim body with just enough curves at just the right places. She can really make a sexy wedding gown work for her and still look elegant.

So on this quest for the perfect traditional, classic and sexy wedding dress I went, and this is what I found...
By the way.. I am absolutely fascinated by this Israeli designer called Inbal Dror, this a link to their website if you want to check it out later inbaldror.co.il/ Only problem is they are based out of Israel, and don't have a store in New York City, yet. I have read that there is one shop called "Panache Bridal" where you can find the gowns, that is in Beverly Hills though..., so it might be worth looking into that. I have realized tons of girls have fallen in love with this dresses, so if you can't afford to go and get it from Israel, or if it is not convenient to do an online order (I wouldn't recommend buying a wedding gown before trying it on, and making necessary adjustments, at least once!) you can always get ideas, and then find a very very good seamstress and get it custom made, wherever in the world you are!
Below I have selected the Best Wedding Gowns from the latest collection, Hope you enjoy the ideas, and maybe who knows they help you also choose yours!

The Winner 2013! Jennifer Lawrence

by Plesir, in Street-style

Jennifer Lawrence not only won the Oscar 2013 for Best Actress, but she won the admiration of men and women around the globe, when she presented herself with grace and authenticity. despite having trampled on the steps, probably because her dress was too big, more like a bridal dress (one of the reasons why she didn't make it into our Best Dressed list). She went up the stage, and proved that we all have to do just that. Get up, acknowledge our falls and be a total Winner.

She looked gorgeous, her hair and make up were immaculate.

She wore dangling round earings made up of one diamond in its center and smaller diamonds all to the sides.

She was wearing a soft smoky eye make up, and pink sheer lip shine. Her hair pulled up away from her face, and in her natural color, let us all see her true natural beauty.
Looks like she doesn't need all that hair colouring, and heavy make up to call our attention anymore!

Jennifer! We are your fans!

FYI: Jennifer is wearing a Dior Haute Couture dress, Chopard jewels, a Roger Vivier clutch, and Brian Atwood shoes.

Jennifer Lawrence recibió el Óscar a mejor actriz, no sin antes hacer una demostración de su gracia y elegancia. Al subir los escalones para llegar al escenario, vimos como cayo al suelo, y trato de levantarse con mucho esfuerzo. Pero aún así, subió al escenario, haciendo alusión al hecho y dejándolo atrás sin más, nos mostró su sorpresa y gratitud por haber sido Elegida.

El vestido que llevaba puesto, aunque de Dior, dejo para nuestro gusto de ser el apropiado para la ocasión, y quedo en evidencia a través del percance en los escalones.No es la primera vez que pasa esto en una entra de premios.

De todas maneras Jennifer parecía estar protagonizando su propia Boda, más que una entrega de premios. Quizás si el color hubiese sido otro....es que el rosa pálido, casi blanco, no ayudo tampoco. Por eso no entró dentro de nuestro ranking de las Mejores Vestidas. Pero si nos pareció estar preciosamente Maquillada, Peinada y accesorized!

Sus aros pendientes de diamantes, en formato circular, complementan sus facciones, y su colorido personal. Jennifer con su cabello color original, Rubio oscuro y atado en un recogido que liberaba su rostro, ponía el acento en sus ojos. Uso un smoky eye bien difuminado, y los labios apenas con un brillo labial rosado transparente.

Nos encanto! Estaba impecable, y somos sus fans número uno! Felicitaciones!

TOP 5 HAIR AND MAKE UP Oscars 2013

Number 2 - Amy Adams, nominated for best supporting actress for her role in 'The Master" wore a strapless powder blue Oscar de la Renta gown to the event. ( Photo / John Shearer/Invision/AP)
Number 3 - Jennifer Lawrence. The best-acress nominee wore a pale pink strapless Dior gown to the event. (AP Photo/John Shearer/Invision)
Number 4 - Actress Kerry Washington wore a pink-red Miu Miu strapless gown to the event. (AP Photo/John Shearer/Invision)
Number 5 - Naomi Watts wearing a silver, one-shoulder and cap sleeve Armani Prive gown and Neil Lane jewelry. (AP Photo / John Shearer/ Invision)

All 5 of them wore "soft" make up. The colors of the dresses except for both Kerry's and Naomi's were very pale, washed out pastels. With that kind colouring on an evening dress, make up has to show, but not be defined with hard lines, or be too obvious.

A soft smoky eye like Jennifer Lawrence's is a PERFECT fit for these dresses. Pared with pink sheer lips, and soft pinky cheeks is a great combo.

4 out of 5 women were wearing their hair UP. We liked that all were in kind of "messy" up dos. Formal enough for OSCARS and fun enough to maintain the natural playful young look. It seems young looking is what every actress wants to achieve nowadays. Needless to say we saw too many fillers, and Botox on some of those red carpet faces!

Our TOP 5 are all about being natural!

Nothing too extreme, or too hard. This year our TOP 5 make up and hair winners are all about, being true to themselves and letting their own beauty shine!

Do you agree with out TOP 5? Who do you think should be here and is not?
