A Fitness Routine for Brides
At OneWed we really like to steer you away from thinking about crash diets or severe exercise plans to get yourself to a certain size on the big day. Your wedding should be an excuse to think about your overall fitness level. You're building a life with someone and you want that life to be long and healthy. That being said, your wedding is in two months and you'd like it if your arms didn't jiggle! Fitness expert David van Daff of Bally Fitness has put together a bridal workout...
Nail Polish Debacle: Coordinating Polish Colors For Your Bridesmaids?
On Saturday, I decided to treat myself to a pedicure. I was looking forward to a relaxing time, but the second I walked into the nearly empty salon, I heard it… “Oh.My.Gosh. This is so ugly. Omg, this is hideous! Look at this, do you see this color, this is disgusting, ohmygosh, ohmygosh, do you see this?” The rant continued, with some whimpers and voice cracks thrown in for good measure. As hard as I tried, I could not wrap my mind around what could have gone so far awry in...

Bubbly Bride: Must Bride-to-Be Mean Long Hair?
About Bubbly Bride I find it interesting that once a woman becomes a bride-to-be, they instantly begin 'growing out their hair'. No matter the current length, long or short, every bride's response seems to be 'I am growing it out for the big day'. Which I am beginning to believe is code for 'I am not going to visit my stylist for a year'. I understand the thought process behind it, in that they want their hair to be long enough to have a fancy up do for the big day. What I do...

The Man Registry: 3 Hairy Issues for Grooms and How to Conquer Them

Wedding Day Hairstyles Straight from the Red Carpet
Almost as important as what the stars wear to the Oscars, is how they wear their hair! You may not be able to afford a couture gown like the dresses we looked at yesterday, but you can definitely copy red carpet style for your wedding day hair. Two contradictory trends emerged this year: 1) Soft, loose updos – Think Charlize Theron, Demi Moore, and Anna Kendrick with their hair out of the way, but still loose and romantic. 2) Super slick updos – Think Sarah Jessica Parker,...

Bridal Makeup: Traditional Foundation vs. Airbrush Foundation
Special to OneWed by Lauren Iavarone of Expert Makeup Artistry Studio The most common makeup question I receive from my brides regarding their wedding-day makeup is what is the difference between airbrush makeup and traditional makeup, besides price? For traditional makeup, we use a regular foundation and for airbrush, it's applied with a misting action and a specially formulated foundation. There are many types of traditional foundation. Liquid foundations are the most popular. ...
