Celebrity Manicures: Spring Pastels!

Mar 27, 2012 @ 4:20 pm

Need some spring manicure inspiration? Look to Kristen Bell and Katharine McPhee, who recently worked pastel nails! We love Bell’s cute peach lacquer, and McPhee’s trendy seafoam. If you’re bored with nude nail polishes, powdery colors like these are an easy, non-intimidating way to switch up your style. Plus, pastels look great against any skin tone! Just be sure to finish with a swipe of glossy top coat to keep them from appearing chalky.

Kate Middleton’s Wedding Flowers: The Meaning of the Bouquet

Apr 29, 2011 @ 10:22 am

Did you take a good look at the bouquet Catherine Middleton‘s carried along with her Alexander McQueen gown and Cartier tiara? Vera Wang commented on CNN that she loved it because it didn’t overpower the dress, and there’s a reason why. Middleton chose the flowers because of their special meanings—she carried Lily of the valleys to symbolize the return of happiness; Sweet William flowers for gallantry; hyacinths for constancy of love; ivy for fidelity, marriage, friendship and affection; and myrtle, the emblem of marriage and love. The myrtle is actually from a plant that Queen Victoria planted in 1845, and was also used in the bouquet of Queen Elizabeth’s wedding in 1947. Flowers can make a wedding, which is why we pulled together some of our favorite floral arrangements from more celebrity weddings. See them all in the gallery!
