Taking a horse-drawn carriage ride after their nuptials was just the right touch for Kendra
and Raymond Wilts.
Country wedding relives past
For those who want the tradition
al wedding, but with a personal
touch of originality, just a single
change may make the event even
more memorable.
When Kendra Shortreed and
Raymond Wilts married last July
19, much of the ceremony was as
Canadians have become accus
tomed to. However, they added
something to reflect their country
upbringing and Kendra's affection
for horses and mules.
The newlyweds decided to ride
from the church to the reception in
a carriage, powered by two mules.
Makeup creates glow
You’ve finally picked your
wedding gown, and all the details
are in place. You haven't over
looked a thing, and all the pre
wedding plans have left you
exhausted. However, in the hustle
and bustle of planning your
wedding, don't neglect one very
important detail - yourself!
Experts have developed a
personalized beauty plan to follow
- from six months before, all the
way up to the morning of your
wedding - to help you look every
bit a bride on that special day. Here
are a few helpful hints:
• Pre-wedding day anxiety may
cause skin to break out, so ensure a
clear complexion by starling your
skincare routine early. Begin a
daily skincare program at least four
months before your wedding. Be
sure to cleanse (to remove dirt),
tone (to refine pores), and
moisturize your skin each morning
and evening. Deep cleanse skin
with a facial mask once a week,
starting three months before your
ceremony.
• Foundation can make almost
every bride's complexion look
perfect. For a natural yet elegant
look, apply foundation to your
clean, moisturized face with a
damp makeup sponge. Place -
sparingly - small dots on forehead,
cheeks, nose and chin. Stroke out to
hairline, down under the chin and
blend carefully.
• Select your bridal colours ahead
of time and practice your
application techniques.
• With a headpiece, flowers, and
veil around your face it's important
not to overdo your eyes. Bring out
your natural eye colour with two
neutral, harmonizing shades.
Highlight the crease-to-brow zone
"We don't have fancy cars and as
a farm girl, I grew up with horses
and mules," said Kendra.
Not only did the mules signify
something special in the bride's life
(her father Ken Shortreed had
raised mules as long as Kendra can
remember), but they drew consider
able attention when they were driv
en down the main street of Blyth.
"We were afraid the mules might
take off with all the honking hom,"
she said, "but they did fine."
So, when looking for uniqueness,
it doesn't have to be something
grand, the smallest change can
make a big impression.
with paler shadow. Apply the
deeper shade across the lid.
• Mascara is a bride's eye
dramatizer. Remember, apply very
little mascara to bottom lashes - it
might smear.
• To give your wedding day
lipcolour lasting power, first apply
a neutral coloured lip pencil all
over lips. Next, hold one-ply facial
tissue over lips and dust with a
powder puff. Brush off the excess
powder for a long-wearing matte
look.
• Wedding-day photographs will
become your family treasures!
