That feeling of leaving the salon with a fresh set of nails is an unmistakably powerful feeling. But the extended time in the chair and high price tag aren’t always as satisfying. When considering all of the events surrounding a wedding–engagement parties, bridal showers, and bachelorette parties–the amount of time and money needed for a fresh manicure for each event can be overwhelming. Thanks to ManiMe’s stick-on gels, you can skip the time and cost and still get that dreamy, salon-quality manicure. And, not to mention, have a set of custom-designed nails for each and every important event of your engagement. Yes, please!

ManiMe’s Wedding Edit Has You Covered

ManiMe has manicures perfect for brides within their curated selection of nails called the Wedding Edit. The Wedding Edit is full of subtle, neutral nail designs, mostly with sheer opacity, that will easily complement your wedding gown and party looks. From 3D daisies to metallic dots, the Wedding Edit nails are cute and unique yet still minimal and understated. You won’t have to worry about viewing your wedding photos ten years down the road in regret saying to yourself, “What was I thinking with those nails?” 

Some bonus points to remember about ManiMe: 

  • ManiMe manicures are custom-fit to your own nails using their patented 3D model rendering technology
  • They’re not just for the gals blessed with long nails. ManiMe designs look great on short nails, too
  • Each mani comes with 15 gels–just in case anything happens to a nail during or after the application process

Bring Manicure Night to Your Bachelorette Party

Sharing ManiMe with your best friends is an act of love. What better way to kick off your bachelorette party than with a group manicure session? Have all of your attendees pick out their favorite nail designs and do a group order before the big weekend. 

Then you can apply your damage-free, long-lasting gels together before a night out, or as a fun activity for girls night in. Either way, sip some rosé and sing along to your favorite girl power jams—cue “Good as Hell” by Lizzo—while applying these super easy stick-on gels. You and your crew will have picture-perfect manicures you can’t wait to show off.

Totally Glam DIY Wedding

May 25, 2022 | justine

Not even the pandemic could get in the way of a love like Mitsuko and Antony’s. After changing their wedding plans again and again, they decided to take a nontraditional approach to their big day. With the help of family, the couple pulled off two flawless fêtes that were effortless and intentional. It was a totally glam DIY wedding with a classic black and white palette, artful florals, timeless fashion, and a modern aesthetic—details that will never go out of style. 

The couple exchanged their vows surrounded by their closest loved ones in a beautiful traditional ceremony at the Paroisse Saint-Jean-Baptiste. It was followed by a reception at the Tucker House Renewal Centre that felt grand with the clear top tent. Crystal chandeliers added sparkle overhead, while the metallic candle votives paired on guest tables were the right touch of luxe. Lush centerpieces and a unique backdrop installation with floral clouds by Sonja Créations gave the dreamiest of vibes.

From the floral decor and the homey menu to all the other creative and personalized elements in between, scroll through these swoon-worthy photos captured by Junebug members Joel & Justyna. This glam DIY wedding is packed with ideas for you to steal.

Photographer And Junebug Members Joel & Justyna’s Thoughts On This Glam DIY Wedding

We loved photographing Mitsuko and Antony twice—the first time for their civil wedding and again for their sequel celebration. Their wedding was really special. Mitsuko’s family did the bulk of the work. Her mother not only planned and designed the day, but she also did all the florals and catered the reception with home-cooked food.

Staying Flexible—A Must For Planning A Wedding During A Pandemic

We changed our wedding plans so many times because of the pandemic, so being flexible and patient was important. Thankfully, our vendors were helpful and accommodating. The pandemic made us realize what mattered—to have both our families come together to support our union.

Photographer And Junebug Members Joel & Justyna Captured Both Their Weddings

This wasn’t our first time working with our photographers. The first time was when we had our civil wedding in 2020. Joel & Justyna were a dream to work with. They’re passionate, creative, professional, and truly amazing. Each picture is unique and tells a story, making it special to us.

Serving Food And Drinks That Reflect Their Personalities And Haitian Heritage

For the cocktail hour, Whalesbone provided a variety of delicious fresh oysters, accompanied by custom cocktail drinks provided by Bartendo. Both being Haïtian, we wanted to include traditional meals on the menu. We worked closely with our caterer Sonja Creations, and she truly listened to our needs and delivered. We still receive compliments from our guests for the food. Ketny Théogene curated a dessert bar and wedding cake matching our aesthetic to complete the menu. It was truly a success with our guests.

Heartfelt Speeches From Loved Ones Made Their Big Day More Special

The speeches were the most memorable part of our wedding day. They brought us lots of joy, laughter, and happy tears. Hearing the speeches brought back so many beautiful memories and made us feel grateful to know how loved we are.

Intimate and Luxe Palace Garden Wedding Inspiration

May 25, 2022 | riley

Flourishing wildflowers and crawling greenery combined with regal romantic details—this palace wedding inspiration shows how understated elegance can beautifully blend with opulence to create a modern wedding fairytale. Beth Beresford Photography and a team of talented vendors played off the grand architecture and ornate interiors of the Shrubland Palace. By using creative displays of blooms by The Fleur Girl, the team showcased a nature-meets-luxe vibe. 

With a color palette of sage green, blush, and white—massive wildflower pillars complemented the intricate detailing and bespoke panels for the ceremony at the library. The same towering pillars were used to frame the exquisite three-tier cake by Kerry Ann Cake Designs for the reception at the greenhouse. From the whimsical tablescape with gauzy and antique gilded accents down to the loose and airy florals—there’s an undeniable sense of magic in bringing the wild floral garden setting indoors.

A dreamy and grand venue like this calls for sophisticated attire, and it’s all about timeless style. If you can’t get enough of this ethereal wedding theme, scroll through these gorgeous photos captured by Beth Beresford Photography. This styled shoot has so much palace wedding inspiration that you can use for an unforgettable celebration.

Photographer’s Insights On This Palace Wedding Inspiration

This was a concept I wanted to do for a long time. Shrubland Palace is a 16th-century private residence of a previous royal and was newly opened as a wedding venue on the outskirts of Ipswich. As an Italian palazzo-style residence, you almost forget you’re in England with its incredibly unique interior.  The greenhouse hasn’t been styled for a wedding before, and it’s the most beautiful inspiration for intimate luxury. We wanted it to represent wild love with a secret garden vibe and the emerging trends we’re starting to see for spring. We kept the style clean, elegant, and simple so it wouldn’t take away from the incredible location.  

The Talented Team:

Photography – Beth Beresford
Venue – Shrubland Palace
Floral Design – The Fleur Girl
Catering – Suffolk Grazing Co
Cake – Kerry Ann Cake Designs
Officiant – B Celebrant
Videography – Konjo Photography & Videography
Invitation Design – Petal and Paper Co
Makeup Artist – Emily Chantal
Hair Styling – Glow Occasion Hair
Wedding Dress – The Wedding Shop
Rentals – Anthology Vintage Hire
Place Cards + Signage – Bewilderly
