Style guide: How to rock the metallic trend

It is holiday season! Want to wear something festive? Choose metallics! Metallics can instantly turn an outfit from drab to fab. Metallic trend is really relevant for the winter holidays, not only for Christmas or New Year. Here is a complete guide on how to rock the metallic trend this season.

How to wear metallic clothes?

A little bit of artfully placed metal—whether gold, silver, sequins, or jewel-tones—goes a long way. Metallics can be very showy, so make it daytime appropriate in a matte finish. When it comes to how to wear metallics, matte finishes are the safer option, especially when it comes to clothing. A beaded metallic top is a great way to make a pair of dark denim jeans worn for a night out with friends look more exciting. Metallic isn't just for formal anymore. For a night out, a metallic skirt is a great way to dress up a look. It's an elegant look is great for a night out where a formal cocktail dress isn't necessary but a slightly elevated look is. As a general rule of thumb, it’s best to keep your makeup natural, your hair simple, and pair one gorgeous metallic piece, like a purse or pair of shoes, with slightly lower-key wardrobe essentials.

How to wear metallic accessories?

Metallics are most easily worn in the evening, a clutch or shoe in a metallic fabric is the perfect way to take your outfit from day to night. If you’re feeling shy about metallics, shoes are the easiest way to baby step into the gilded waters. Silver heels are the metallic equivalent of nude pumps: they go with just about anything, from jeans to cocktail dresses. On the weekends, dress up your denim by carrying your Saturday essentials around with you in a warm gold tote bag. Usually, golden accessory is a wonderful choice for a girl with "warm" type of appearance and "warm" skin tone."Cold" lady will look perfect with the silver.

How to wear metallic eyeshadow?

You may have tried on all kinds of eyeshadows, but the one that’s really ‘in’ right now, especially during the winters, is the trend of metallic eyeshadows. Metallic eyeshadows are mainly snowy or frosted. Most of the metallic eyeshadows are in light and nude colors, some of them can also be bright, like cherry, peach, pinks and lilacs. If applied correctly, the metallic eyeshadow can take your whole makeup and your entire look a notch higher. If you wish to make a bold statement on a night out, you may add a thick cat eye over a shimmering metallic eyeshadow. Foil eyeshadow has become a trend over the last few seasons and can make a simple dark eye fresh-looking by giving it a revamp. Add some metallic foil to the outer corner and coordinate the look with a similar shade of shadow to create a smoky effect that matches.

Pre-wedding skin care: How to get flawless skin before wedding

Looking the best on the big day is the dream of every bride-to-be. However, the wedding preparation work is really tiring. Many women get tired and fretful when preparing the wedding. Therefore, their skin condition gets worse. Here are some helpful ideas on how to get flawless skin before your wedding.

How to choose skincare treatments for different skin conditions?

For oily or acne prone skin, serums and gel treatments are best since they are typically oil free and are applied under moisturizers and makeup. If you have dry skin, opt for milky cleansers and heavy moisturizers. Many mature women have skin aging problem, you can do skin firming treatments at home or at a spa to lift and firm your flabby facial skin. What’s more, you should have regular exfoliation treatments to avoid dull skin-tone. You’d better choose gentle skincare lines with natural ingredients if you have sensitive skin.

Effective daily skincare steps

Skin Cleansing: Use a makeup remover or oil-based cream to take off the makeup, then wash your face before using a cleanser. After drying skin, apply a cleanser that suits your skin type on your skin and rub gently in a circular manner and wash your face again with water.

Skin Exfoliating: Use mild warm water and a gel-based scrub to eliminate dirt from the face. Keep in mind, do not use hot water.

Skin Moisturizing: Apply thick moisturizing cream on your skin. Thick moisturizers are light in nature and keep your skin protected for long hours. A day moisturizer must contain an SPF (Sun Protection Factor).

Dos and don'ts for pre-wedding skin care

1.       Drink plenty of water regularly every day. It's no secret that drinking water is good for your health. And while experts can't prove that drinking pure water will give you clear skin. Experts report that drinking two or more glasses of water a day increases blood flow to the skin.

2.       Wash your face every day. Use a cleanser that will effectively wash away makeup, dirt and bacteria from your face.

3.       Do not skip the use of a daily moisturizer. Whether you wash your face in the shower or in the sink, apply a moisturizer immediately after drying off.

4.       Never underestimate the power of getting a good night's sleep. It's not just good for your well-being, but your skin will benefit from a good snooze fest, too.

2015 Wedding Trends I love

Usually, wedding season is typically mid-April through mid-October. It’s not wedding season now, but if you are planning a wedding during the wedding season, you have to start your wedding preparation now. Here are some newest 2015 wedding trends I gathered for you. Hope you can find some inspiration.

Wedding color trend

Aquamarine will be present everywhere next wedding season. This color is proved to be a stress reducer! As an added bonus, it's an amazing way to cross off your something blue. Scuba Blue, playful and reminiscent of a tropical ocean; Lucite Green, cool and refreshing, yet light in tone; and Toasted Almond, representing warmth, are other colors that will be popular. Plus, look out for Glacier Gray, which works for him or her. This color is unobtrusive, but contrasts and enhances, working with all the other hot 2015 swatches, slipping into the background and allowing other colors to be the stars.

Wedding flower trend

The ‘just-picked-from-the-garden’ look has been popular with brides throughout 2014, and this gorgeous trend doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere for the next year! Next summer, brides will choose softly-colored blooms that reflect the gentle tones of the English garden. Instead of having a massed rose bouquet or other bouquet of one single flower, choose mixed flowers that look like they could come from the garden. If you’re having an autumn wedding, then why not choose flowers inspired by the woodland? You may try ferns, foxgloves and blowsy roses. The look you’re going for is unstructured and wild.

Wedding cake trend

2015 presents many new flavors, unique ideas and nontraditional wedding cake arrangements. There are of course classic trends making a come back as well, so if you desire a more traditional cake there’s still plenty of styles for you to choose from. Many brides now crave a strong French influence for their big day serving up treats such as crepes, croquembouches, and even macaroon. Not only are these treats being served at the weddings, but bridal showers, and engagement dinners as well.2015 is truly the year to create and design the wedding cake of your dreams.

Wedding dress trend

Utterly romantic and soft, lace set on a nude underlay made a big appearance in bridal this season. What's more, blue wedding dresses graced the bridal fashion runways this season for a look that’s nontraditional but still pretty and sophisticated. And ball gowns with a hint of the midriff were all over the bridal fashion runways. If you are bride who wants a romantic and timeless look, you may try off the shoulder dress, another very hot trend on bridal runway.

How do you like these trends?

Color guide: How to wear burgundy

If you ask me which color you should add to your winter closet, I would recommend you the color burgundy. This shade is combined from the shades of red and blue. This color is flattering for many skin tones. The burgundy color should be essential part of your winter wardrobe. You can wear burgundy in different occasions.

Burgundy looks great with a range of blue shades, and works particularly well with navy blue. You may let navy serve as the base of your outfit and add burgundy accents.  For example, you may wear a burgundy cardigan over a navy blue shift dress and finish the classic look with tan leather loafers and some dark red stud earrings. Besides, turquoise blue also works well with burgundy. You can wear some standout turquoise chandelier earrings with a burgundy dress and gold strappy sandals.

If you want a luxury look, you can also wear metallic colors like gold and silver with burgundy color. Gold brings out burgundy’s warmth, while silver gives you a perfect, cool contrast to the deep red. When wearing burgundy with gold or silver, prevent your outfit from becoming gaudy by keeping accessories simple.

If you wish to look classy and elegant, wear brown shades with the burgundy. Darker brown shades blend well with burgundy, while lighter browns and tan tones serve as complementary contrast. You may pair your burgundy dress with dark brown boots if you want a stylish and comfortable look. For a casual look, you may wear a burgundy slacks with classic light brown crewneck sweater.

This beautiful color is great choice for a cocktail dress, but it that case, focus on the colors to be more on the tone of blue, purple shades. For casual daily looks you can choose any variation on the color that you like, and I suggest to add some pattern or print. Whatever you choose you would look great and trendy in this beautiful warm color.View tons of stunning burgundy prom dresses online at LunaDress. 

Burgundy looks good in leather goods, in shoes and as an accent to neutral colors like grey, navy and tans. However, feel free to incorporate this color in a stronger way. A coat in burgundy shade would be gorgeous for winter as would some great sweaters or even a pair of jeans. You would look gorgeous and catch the eyes of all the people if you are dressed in a casual sweater in burgundy, denim jeans, basic tan suede boots and bag along and a complementary scarf. 

Fashion Guide: How to Style a Strapless Dress

The year of 2015 is coming! What will you wear on New Year’s Eve? Strapless dresses are always quite popular dress styles on the red carpet. Strapless dresses are also perfect choices for prom and wedding. Usually, strapless dresses are accessory-friendly and universally flattering. It is said that 75 percent of all wedding dresses are strapless.

Who can wear strapless dresses?

Not all women have the ‘shoulders’ to wear strapless styles. If you have nicely shaped and defined shoulders, collarbone area, neck, and upper back, then strapless dresses are just perfect you. For women who have armpit muffin top, avoid strapless style. A little cleavage is good, but half melons sticking out and nipples dangerously close to being on show are not.

How to prevent strapless dresses from falling?

It can be really annoying when your dress keeps falling. We all fear the slip. Usually, hourglass shaped strapless dress offers more support up top. What’s more, you can look for dress that has a thin silicone rubber strip that lines the entire inside top seam. This provides a bit of resistance against your skin so that it’ll be less likely to fall down. If you dress does not have rubber band, you may buy fashion tape instead.

LunaDress Blue Prom Gown

How to accessorize a strapless dress?

Usually, a statement necklace would work well on a strapless dress. If you choose an eye-catching statement necklace, keep your earrings simple. If you do not like to wear necklace, you may look for some great chandelier earrings. If you're going for a flirty, fresh look, include two or three small fresh or silk flowers in your hair to add a soft, organic feel.

Bridal guide: How to purchase right undergarments

Don’t just focus on your wedding dress if you want a perfect bridal look. You should know that wrong undergarments can ruin your bridal look. You should not overlook the importance of your undergarments. Here are some ideas on purchasing bridal undergarments.

How to choose bras according to the dress style?

Not all dresses work with standard t-shirt bras. Opt for strapless bra or bandeau if you have a strapless gown. Usually, a strapless bra offers minimal support, while a bandeau offers plenty of support but may flatten your chest some. Backless wedding dresses are really popular in recent years. If your dress is backless, you can choose to wear backless bra that hooks at the waist. You may consider buying convertible bra if you buy your lingerie before your dress. Bras with adjustable straps would be perfect. View various wedding gowns at Luna Dress. 

How to choose the type of your underwear?

Usually, if your bridal gown is voluminous, you can wear whatever you want, whether it's your favorite knickers or something a bit more racy and adventurous. Opt for underwear that lay flat and smooth if your wedding dress is sheath. You may consider a nude-colored commando thong or a smooth lace thong. Dresses that highlight body parts sometimes call for strategic shapewear.

Tips on buying bridal lingerie

1.       You should always keep in mind that the bridal lingerie should be a reflection of your personal style. It’s absolutely essential that you feel comfortable in the lingerie you choose.

2.       You’d better try on the lingerie you choose with your wedding dress before the wedding. You must make sure that the lingerie you buy should fit your dress. If you don’t know which kind of lingerie you should buy, you may get tips from the dressmaker.

3.       Always remember that the undergarments are not something that you buy at the last minute. The lingerie is as important as your dress. There is nothing more stressful than the bride trying on her lingerie in the morning and realizing it doesn’t work with her dress!

Wedding guide: How to buy wedding cake

A pretty wedding cake would make your special day more romantic and memorable. In tradition, wedding cakes were made to bring good luck to all guests and the couple. Wedding cakes range in size and style. Here are some ideas on buying wedding cake for your big day.

How to buy a wedding cake?

I believe all people want a cake that's compatible with the look of the wedding venue, the wedding gown, the flower arrangements and the menu. So you’d better choose your wedding cake after you have made your major wedding decisions. The price of wedding cake generally ranges from $3 to $30 a slice. You should have a budget in mind. Also, you should know how many wedding guests you will invite to your wedding party. Generally, three tiers will serve 50 to 100 guests and five layers for 200 guests. After you have decided the style and size of the wedding cake, you must choose a flavor you love. Also, you should consider the weather and your wedding venue. For example, if you are having an outdoor wedding in hot summer, you should avoid whipped cream, meringue and butter cream since they would melt.

What are trending now about wedding cake?

Instead of one larger confection, consider offering multiple cakes in smaller sizes. It’ll give you the option to serve more than one flavor, and guests will marvel at your abundant dessert spread. If you are having an outdoor wedding, you may give your cake a garden-fresh look by adorning it with lush blooms in colors that match your palette. In recent years, bite-sized cupcakes are becoming more and more popular. You may elevate the cupcakes by displaying on a tiered tray, or embellish them with sparkling sprinkles like we did here.

How to get a lower wedding cake price?

1. If you wish to cut down on the cost of the pillars, you may consider borrowing the pillars. There are disposable pillars available with your local baker or rental companies which are a better alternative than those crystal pillars.

2. Usually, the relatives and well-wishers ask what you need as a gift, you can ask them for a wedding cake topper.

3. If you want flowers on your cake but the cost of the sugar flowers isn't fitting in your budget, you can decorate it yourself or have the florist do it for you.

4. You may consider a smaller tiered cake for effect, and get a sheet cake to feed the guests. A kitchen cake is an undecorated cake that looks exactly like your wedding cake when cut and is cheaper than a decorated cake of the same size. This way you can save a little.

For those who are still looking for a stunning wedding gown, you may browse at LunaDress to find your dream dress. If you want a glamorous and elegant look on your big day, I would strongly recommend you the newly launched white lace wedding gowns.
