If you are new to the blog, I'd love to introduce you to our little Toney family tradition: Last fall, we decided to have a party at the beginning of each season, inspired by our favorite things of that season. We select a decor theme, discuss what foods remind us of that season, my husband picks out a playlist of the perfect seasonal songs and we get together with our friends and enjoy it all! You can take a look at <a href="http://joyfulweddingsandevents.blogspot.com/2008/09/our-first-seasonal-season-party-fall.html">Fall</a>, <a href="http://joyfulweddingsandevents.blogspot.com/2009/02/our-second-seasonal-season-party-winter.html">Winter</a> and <a href="http://joyfulweddingsandevents.blogspot.com/2009/05/our-third-seasonal-season-party-spring.html">Spring</a>.<br />
<br />
For summer, I wanted something laid back and easy (and not just because we were moving the next week!). We had a pool party complete with BBQ (hamburgers & hotdogs), otter pops & ice cream sandwiches and lawn games. It was so fun to just relax with our friends enjoying the beautiful weather.<br />
<br />
Friend of ours graciously offered a family home that has an amazing backyard which overlooks a local lake:<br />

<div><br />
</div><div>To say this week has been crazy is an understatement. We had our summer party and an industry bonfire worship night at the beginning of the week, now we are moving, my husband hurt his finger badly while moving and I got amazing news on thursday which is resulting in a big photoshoot on monday. All good (except the finger!), but things are busy busy busy. </div><div><br />
</div><div>I am excited to share details on what the photoshoot is for and we have a few more exciting things on our radar as well, but you will just have to wait :)</div><div><br />

No matter what her style, no matter what her budget, every bride wants to look amazing on her wedding day. One of the best ways to ensure that you look your best on your big day is to hire professional hair and makeup stylists that you trust.<br />
<br />
Today, I am excited to introduce you to <a href="http://www.amandapeckmakeup.com/">Amanda Peck</a>, a very talented makeup artist out of Orange County. Amanda and I actually were good friends in Jr. High and I was so thrilled to hear that she decided to pursue professional makeup artistry because she has always had such a great artistic eye. Over the past couple of years, Amanda has been at the top of my recommendation list to my brides and today she has offered to share some of her insight and tips with our readers.<br />

</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">*How far in advance should brides book a makeup artist? </span></div><div>Brides should start looking for a makeup artist 3 to 5 months prior to their big day.<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmSkzlRenqTSmDdPstOe49DTR2mFnUy_kjHFyzXp1mSju8mN0LJxFLwmMsjR0AMUdKxJLZInfCzlYUbsZe5Zp3jY9WLgW_zG8w-_trPnCkQyA2fQYvqErphz2cFj_esOPcVPHM/s1600-h/new_bride_mian_image_amanda_peck.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmSkzlRenqTSmDdPstOe49DTR2mFnUy_kjHFyzXp1mSju8mN0LJxFLwmMsjR0AMUdKxJLZInfCzlYUbsZe5Zp3jY9WLgW_zG8w-_trPnCkQyA2fQYvqErphz2cFj_esOPcVPHM/s400/new_bride_mian_image_amanda_peck.jpg" /></a></div><div><br />
</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">*Many brides feel like they can do their own makeup- whether it is to save money or because they want to look like they normally do. Why is it worth it to pay for a makeup artist? </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">Even if you are a pro in your daily makeup, booking a professional artist is a must. Your daily makeup will not hold up for hours of photography, bright lights, hugging and tears. Trained artists apply makeup differently. I use a combination of tricks involving contouring and highlighting which makes my brides appear stunning in an intimate close-up shot as well as for the guests that are seated far from the altar.</span><br />

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">*What is the benefit of having a trail run? When should it be scheduled?</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">I can’t stress enough the importance of a trial run. The makeup artist you decide to use for your wedding needs to be someone you’re comfortable with and whose results fit your personality and style of wedding. The only way to insure that is to consult an artist or two. I always recommend scheduling your trial on the same day as your engagement photo session. That way you can see exactly what the makeup will look like in professional photography.</span></span></div><div><br />

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">*How heavy should the makeup be?</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">Your wedding day makeup should be about 40% heavier than your typical wear. Even if you are wanting a natural look, full coverage is still necessary for photography and to last through the ceremony and reception. </span><br />
</span></div><div><br />

That amount of time allows for a non-rushed application, false lashes and a 30 minute buffer zone just in case.</span><br />

</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">*What should brides look for in a makeup artist as they are deciding between companies? </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">One of the most important things a bride should look for when researching makeup artists is his/her past work. If you can’t find any photos of previous brides or professional photoshoots, I would recommend looking elsewhere. Check as to whether or not the artist charges a travel fee, if they offer discounts for large parties, and if their costs fit within your budget. </span><br />

The photographer is a great person to consult with to see whether or not the makeup will provide enough coverage.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">Two things I highly recommend:<br />
First, false lashes. They make all the difference in photographs. It’s an extra touch of glamour that can be applied as natural or as dramatic as you desire.<br />
<br />
Secondly, I highly recommend treating your bridal party to a makeup and/or hair session the day of the wedding. What could be a better way to thank your bridal party than providing them with a morning of pampering? It de-stresses everyone and is truly a bonding experience.<br />
<br />

This wedding was extra special to me because Heather is my cousin and it was a privilege to help bring her vision to life. Heather and Justin met working at the Rainforest Cafe at Downtown Disney, got engaged in front of Cinderella's Castle and later returned to Disneyland to take their <a href="http://joyfulweddingsandevents.blogspot.com/2008/10/heather-justin-engaged.html">engagement photos</a>, so it was fitting for Heather to decide on a Cinderella inspired wedding.<br />

<br />
I am not the most festive person in the world. I love holidays and I love decor, but after growing up in a household where my mother pulled out boxes and boxes of decorations for every single holiday, I tend to stay on the more simple (or as my mom would say, boring) side for the smaller holidays like 4th of July. If I decorate at all, I stick with a simple centerpiece or a view small accent items.<br />
<br />
Here are some of my ideas for festive, simple patriotic decor. I threw these together yesterday using left over flowers from my wedding last weekend, so try to ignore the browning flowers :)<br />
<br />
How it started: a tin can and fabric I purchased at Jo-Ann's for $3.50 a yard:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHhNfD9k0GBfF8S6RmtocihdnJMu8Ke6rUNlUTo4cscaRbjcqyOcejnBgm45ch9Zy0xR24QOxerCin4ZA7T-WpqB7aibIbpnnIjsvig0XTAV49Fmto5C9y1bf6of2SeG08fX6d/s1600-h/IMG_7056.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHhNfD9k0GBfF8S6RmtocihdnJMu8Ke6rUNlUTo4cscaRbjcqyOcejnBgm45ch9Zy0xR24QOxerCin4ZA7T-WpqB7aibIbpnnIjsvig0XTAV49Fmto5C9y1bf6of2SeG08fX6d/s400/IMG_7056.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">How it ended:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvlN5ClCvh1W2UicZv74WLMZwoT2xfNch7-GhiV4abVsXcq4d9co6CcVeQMsuEpYkFSe-UbMsuRxPcLO-qs2_fXWoOUaQ3QNjAaM51qazJCnGdaxKc6cms5GWUnwPQUI7-27te/s1600-h/IMG_7069.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvlN5ClCvh1W2UicZv74WLMZwoT2xfNch7-GhiV4abVsXcq4d9co6CcVeQMsuEpYkFSe-UbMsuRxPcLO-qs2_fXWoOUaQ3QNjAaM51qazJCnGdaxKc6cms5GWUnwPQUI7-27te/s400/IMG_7069.JPG" /></a></div><br />
I decided to make it a little more fun and add some fireworks:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI1B-p59PThgZAwMZY3CKsY3h6d699sUTIsv5cixDAVycTVYnI7F188WVtnWmlImuZ-82m-ybViRT4dSUfjorg3OcuPeq9-I3wK8uR8Oe3cMwS5Y5FmTRQw6oJoyLjMx989iM4/s1600-h/IMG_7065.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI1B-p59PThgZAwMZY3CKsY3h6d699sUTIsv5cixDAVycTVYnI7F188WVtnWmlImuZ-82m-ybViRT4dSUfjorg3OcuPeq9-I3wK8uR8Oe3cMwS5Y5FmTRQw6oJoyLjMx989iM4/s400/IMG_7065.JPG" /></a></div>Which are really just straws that I purchased at target. I cut the top portion of the straw off and stuck them in the arrangement.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivNSMk_FMb767WqWFebC-BsS42hztfQM7FQI5kC81883uvhmCeyS3j-vNOOydIFY-OOH5bOsQbPmnNpC5RvvZ6HqN98bdVk3Gg5nfNb6rjyvlXCusrQzPv35ohGVk4cuCip3DU/s1600-h/IMG_7067.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivNSMk_FMb767WqWFebC-BsS42hztfQM7FQI5kC81883uvhmCeyS3j-vNOOydIFY-OOH5bOsQbPmnNpC5RvvZ6HqN98bdVk3Gg5nfNb6rjyvlXCusrQzPv35ohGVk4cuCip3DU/s400/IMG_7067.JPG" /></a></div><br />
For the next one, I wrapped a vase in paper that I found at Michaels:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxB5nFdXtBD9cRVH7HqtylSE5J14hFCF-TPTpU6gRNJg00RNSDQqar9XZhitaykFib92w2CXSK-5RBDyGSLFpPxPqCGcVGKeVneSv3RM9QzKMaYQozoT-AJgytbILUnnnMzjqA/s1600-h/IMG_7080.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxB5nFdXtBD9cRVH7HqtylSE5J14hFCF-TPTpU6gRNJg00RNSDQqar9XZhitaykFib92w2CXSK-5RBDyGSLFpPxPqCGcVGKeVneSv3RM9QzKMaYQozoT-AJgytbILUnnnMzjqA/s400/IMG_7080.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6jBUbspGLtTeuR2MbTR9FWfaUKwRTkRWWE7iIde24vmQwtYfcTVNn7Uz6Q8CVki1EYll9RZmcVSRL8_EJx2VGXtVIiiTHjrm_pgAkNP97SWWUZOk9WYKDcGXC4Q8rxjLdc5GD/s1600-h/IMG_7083.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6jBUbspGLtTeuR2MbTR9FWfaUKwRTkRWWE7iIde24vmQwtYfcTVNn7Uz6Q8CVki1EYll9RZmcVSRL8_EJx2VGXtVIiiTHjrm_pgAkNP97SWWUZOk9WYKDcGXC4Q8rxjLdc5GD/s400/IMG_7083.JPG" /></a></div><br />
I also wrapped a bigger vase in the same fabric as the arrangement above and then made ribbon fireworks to spice it up:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil8sSmcVlRrRTthrpgDsDCAXKk1gHQdiZN0IXjU0dxDoRtZpFh1f21RJCAPfG3REltwTYkwnGvq0VytJ3_8JRCAf7ZHCkuPxraIAsWlYSFmRQ18X6qy4zGLIxvqP7nU6vQpfMA/s1600-h/IMG_7086.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil8sSmcVlRrRTthrpgDsDCAXKk1gHQdiZN0IXjU0dxDoRtZpFh1f21RJCAPfG3REltwTYkwnGvq0VytJ3_8JRCAf7ZHCkuPxraIAsWlYSFmRQ18X6qy4zGLIxvqP7nU6vQpfMA/s400/IMG_7086.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXFW-ea3QMQhq6jjo8t23nWDKJ0JIvjYA7pEmImmB6TlBN4Jz3Tv4j_SWdYZ8YQ7zc5QTbORyJ6oMxz9DpZTqoLP7gxQBRZhyphenhyphenoNjjfbTgyg9Rla57dOk7YXiF0vLF44mPyZBp7/s1600-h/IMG_7087.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXFW-ea3QMQhq6jjo8t23nWDKJ0JIvjYA7pEmImmB6TlBN4Jz3Tv4j_SWdYZ8YQ7zc5QTbORyJ6oMxz9DpZTqoLP7gxQBRZhyphenhyphenoNjjfbTgyg9Rla57dOk7YXiF0vLF44mPyZBp7/s400/IMG_7087.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI2IxjIeUURjPD7eTaBvrxaExuBroGu_-03v1loqYdqm61ziD6dlYNm6EtPBYnFAFUpIRa5JlY5UwMb6IILq7tFwoiNZs_pxvP16iRK3POLpHmxFOybxsYerEGcbN64PQtRwl7/s1600-h/IMG_7088.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI2IxjIeUURjPD7eTaBvrxaExuBroGu_-03v1loqYdqm61ziD6dlYNm6EtPBYnFAFUpIRa5JlY5UwMb6IILq7tFwoiNZs_pxvP16iRK3POLpHmxFOybxsYerEGcbN64PQtRwl7/s400/IMG_7088.JPG" /></a></div><br />
I made the ribbon fireworks by tying 5 three inch pieces of ribbon around the top of a straw:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnowsEH_jizQ0eOSl0Ie1IFn2xBv5F9mSY1G30gRqqQPmp3RDllwLvJ_ar1hR3Wf0INJT-eYmqTxSLOfGTZ5PIviATgPf-t5OsWgFkFQPIEPM6SktS1s9bq0qAUm3EFZnO7iao/s1600-h/IMG_7089.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnowsEH_jizQ0eOSl0Ie1IFn2xBv5F9mSY1G30gRqqQPmp3RDllwLvJ_ar1hR3Wf0INJT-eYmqTxSLOfGTZ5PIviATgPf-t5OsWgFkFQPIEPM6SktS1s9bq0qAUm3EFZnO7iao/s400/IMG_7089.JPG" /></a></div><br />
I also want to show a cute arrangement that my sister put together earlier this week. The blue paper wrapped vase was from our wedding on saturday and she added the ribbon details:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheSaAk9q5ZJaCOwuQBiydlPlFlu8XqBBSlNExj2V4kwTXtk5cOZALvPqj4iRl15Xmdb-YzF_5St-TF95wVv2zVN9cvEAkktKgNg1OHOCslThjBXh3OXTtiNOclbEc9qfWMU3-a/s1600-h/IMG_7071.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheSaAk9q5ZJaCOwuQBiydlPlFlu8XqBBSlNExj2V4kwTXtk5cOZALvPqj4iRl15Xmdb-YzF_5St-TF95wVv2zVN9cvEAkktKgNg1OHOCslThjBXh3OXTtiNOclbEc9qfWMU3-a/s400/IMG_7071.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWo5BGJbSZBsrWxw_E3GA15R9qf_XXO0xCZdIBDqopvubJOYjmTHld3zKtRvGhQcBuk_by1_hIQBXBtMcpwy2SbRuT054VG_o6uUUiDjeYxpTuddI-Cz4ERZJJtA16ErA2c4DE/s1600-h/IMG_7073.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWo5BGJbSZBsrWxw_E3GA15R9qf_XXO0xCZdIBDqopvubJOYjmTHld3zKtRvGhQcBuk_by1_hIQBXBtMcpwy2SbRuT054VG_o6uUUiDjeYxpTuddI-Cz4ERZJJtA16ErA2c4DE/s400/IMG_7073.JPG" /></a></div><br />
In addition to the arrangements, I whipped up these little babies:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMdMMjhQrTmJYceuTcj-_Fa6otjyFx-4iHWk9ctKhlnELCyzBHQYKZtAmhF93acwjTvIAW0cy1AEd7qWquAtzXZCXtD2wDyEkM_yfPmzR1S21murddlMyLaQokXGcaOpuiiXD8/s1600-h/IMG_7063.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMdMMjhQrTmJYceuTcj-_Fa6otjyFx-4iHWk9ctKhlnELCyzBHQYKZtAmhF93acwjTvIAW0cy1AEd7qWquAtzXZCXtD2wDyEkM_yfPmzR1S21murddlMyLaQokXGcaOpuiiXD8/s400/IMG_7063.JPG" /></a></div><br />
Votive candles wrapped in a baby sock! I found the pair of socks in the $1 section at Target. All you have to do is fold the top of the sock inside so that it is the right height of the candle and slide it on. So so easy. I stole the idea from <a href="http://www.hostessblog.com/">Hostess with the Mostess</a>, which featured potted plants wrapped in socks a while back.<br />

This wedding has been one of my favorite to date! I realized that I never did a full post of all of the details, other than showing some of <a href="http://www.mnorwoodphotography.com/">Michael Norwood</a>'s amazing <a href="http://joyfulweddingsandevents.blogspot.com/2008/07/yay.html">blog photos</a>.<br />
<br />
<div></div><div>So, without further ado, here is Jill and Harry's modern geometric wedding:</div><div><br />
</div><div>We pulled the entire decor scheme from the invitations that Jill had selected from <a href="http://www.weddingpaperdivas.com/">Wedding Paper Divas</a>:</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRRiwT_aLvnycKQ1Tn23XUvRtm-22D92bvlI_4MS6-XIIagLe5flFxX-ML0aj85TkPasLKCEjY6_GHhOfk-dSrSNvtEk3M-KgUil2ytzl2BUJEFGe4y7lwEq19nZi1D4f3EA7X/s1600-h/0056.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRRiwT_aLvnycKQ1Tn23XUvRtm-22D92bvlI_4MS6-XIIagLe5flFxX-ML0aj85TkPasLKCEjY6_GHhOfk-dSrSNvtEk3M-KgUil2ytzl2BUJEFGe4y7lwEq19nZi1D4f3EA7X/s400/0056.jpg" /></a></div><br />
We incorporated the W+T (the initials of their nicknames for each other) on many of the details and also pulled inspiration from Bauhaus Designs- very clean, modern and fun,<br />

Half the tables were orange and half were green. The favor boxes contained playing cards printed with the couple's logo, along with personalized pens and pads of paper. Their family is a big game playing family, so they wanted to include that in the wedding somehow. I heard that the family got a lot of use out of them over the next week! They also included Cadbury chocolate bars from England, which Jill frequently stuffs in her luggage when flying to US and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, which she sticks in her suitcase when heading back to the UK.<br />
