Match Book Makeup

September 18th, 2008 by Zuriana

I love the cute little Match Book makeup kits from TINte Cosmetics!  The Match Book includes two eye shadows, cream eyeliner, blush, two lip glosses and two brushes.  It also includes a guide for those of us that need help with applying ‘the look’.  How cute is that?!

 Give them to your attendants as gifts or keep them for yourself.

Provide a unique treat for guest favors, or put some of these gourmet cookie sandwiches in your welcome bags.  The Cookie Sandwich Co.  creates these decadent looking gourmet cookies and fills them with equally decadent filling.   If they don’t deliver to your area ask your caterer if they can do something similar but put a little spin on it to personalize or make it reflect you.

Weddings at 10,000 Feet

Darren McWalters, left, and Katie Hodgson, right, are wed while standing on flying airplanes.  My first thought was “how exciting”.  My next thought was for the audio guy that had to ensure the guests could hear the ceremony.

I love this wedding because it is:

a) unique
b) creative
c) outside of the box

Allow Zuriana’s Elegant Occasions to help you plan a wedding that is “outside of the box”.
