last night's openhouse/book signing/trunk show in clinton was superfun. you never quite know how those things will turn out, but beth chapman's event at the white dress by the shore did not disappoint. the store is located in a lovely little historical house, in clinton, ct. different vendors were set up in each room, from desserts (more on that later) to lingerie to wine (definitely more on that too!). coming from the west coast, a place like this is particularly charming because we just don't have them there--old wood floors, fireplaces, wood beamed ceilings. beth has created an interior that is both elegant and intimate with a 1920s meets hollywood glamour vibe.
beautiful girls modeled bridal fashions by modern trousseau, their hair and make-up done by jennie fresa (i know at some point i am going to goof up her name and say "fresca"..!). i recently re-watched the movie marie antoinette (love it btw) and the fantastical elements of the hair and make-up against the ethereal dresses reminded me of just that. a perfect mix of fantasy and beauty. jennie's beauty library is a make-up studio and mini-spa located just next door to WDS in a historical little red barn. jennie is so charming and so obviously excited about what she does it's contagious. her make-up and approach to wedding day beauty is "just for you" (ok, i had to steal that, because, well, it IS). it's intimate and personal, and it's about helping brides look like themselves, only better...enhanced. plus she helps you work her techniques and approach into the days following your wedding and into your everyday life. the beauty library is not just for weddings. 1 minute into her description of JFBL's one-hour "fassage" spa treatment and i was ready to sign up...
