Hochzeitsideen - Looking #2

Christina and Nic approached their offbeat wedding from an unusual angle: extra, extra traditional! They celebrated their commitment with a traditional Korean wedding in Georgia last March. Aren't they gorgeous? I mean, even down to the shoes. Christina wore a hanbok with a topcoat for their pyebaek, a ceremony that usually takes place after the official wedding.

The word vintage evokes thoughts of soft lace, beautiful detail and endless romance. However, many vintage-themed weddings end up looking more cliche than ethereal because the design isn't balanced properly. Mixing rougher, more industrial elements with softer fabrics and elegant vintage pieces will give you the idea you have in mind, without making your special day look like a bad garage sale.

This ain't your typical Las Vegas wedding, y'all. Julie and Alain said their vows in the Valley of Fire state park right outside Sin City. Julie's dress is such a great contrast to all that fabulous red rock, and judging by the grin that never leaves his face, Alain agrees with me.

With the release of the new movie, Alice in Wonderland is a huge trend in weddings right now. The 'eat me' labels, playing cards and white rabbits are enough to transport you to Wonderland. Add in a few flamingos and mad hats and I'm sold.

While you're shopping floral dresses and gingham shirts this spring, pause for a minute to linger over the subtleties of the hues, the composition of the lines, how the pattern interplays with the material. Someone lovingly researched and designed that print. A team translated it into a fabrication.

Do you feel anxious every time someone pulls out a camera? We understand! Of course you always look great, but we all know what shows up on camera isn't necessarily reflective of real life. It's no secret that those who pose for a living know their way around a contouring palette, but we can't leave the house rocking a meanly chiseled cheek every single day.

Ask him for a date, or let him pursue you? Respond to the text immediately, or let her wait? Tell him you love him, or stay mum until he says it first? The early days of a relationship are thrilling, but also stressful.

Admit it. You spenda lot of time and money taking care of your skin and hair-from sheet masks to professional peels, DIY hair treatments and root touch-ups. But there's one area that often gets neglected- your hands. One of the first places to show signs of aging, other than your décolletage, is your hands.

I've featured Miss Mooz shoes before, and I think it's time for another peek into their colorful, comfort-minded footwear. Offbeat Brides have said: "I heart Miz Mooz something fierce -- they are always so comfy!" and "God I love this brand too much... All their shoes are so adorable!"

If you're an avid follower of the latest designer collections, you'll know there's no shortage of figure skimming, thigh-splitting, back-baring wedding dresses out there.

We are lucky enough to be right smack in the middle of a very exciting time in beauty. From cotton candy hair and blue lipstick to purple mascara and neon eyeliner, anything goes when it comes to makeup and beauty. So, why are so many of us still playing it safe when it comes to our look?

I was walking around Brighton with my sister a few months ago when we spotted two oversized deckchairs that had been set up to promote an event. We decided to stop, hop on and take a quick photo and let me tell you we weren't the only ones!

Some of us are naturals in front of a camera -- at ease, poised and effortless. And others? Well, not so much. If you fall into the second category, you are not alone. On behalf of the photogenically clueless, we asked our network of photographers to share their best tips and tricks for looking lovely and relaxed in your wedding pictures.

Finding a non-traditional wedding ring can be difficult. High street jewellers catering to the masses usually give you three options - gold, white gold or platinum - so where do you look if you want something a bit more unique (and affordable?!) The internet, that's where!

Yes, Shakira said it...the hips don't lie. Well, unfortunately, neither do necks. It's funny how the most neglected part of our body is also the most telling. This is due to the fact that the skin on the neck is thinner and more sensitive than the skin on your face, making it just as prone, if not more so, to changes in elasticity, pigment and texture.

­ Some mornings call for a full face of highlighter, defined brows, sculpted cheekbones and a statement lip. While other mornings (like, M-F) call for the minimalistic touch and a double shot of espresso. When you're short on time-or energy -we've got just the tutorial to make you look put-together in no time at all.

When it comes to hitting up the skincare aisle, we get it, sometimes you feel like you need a biology degree to understand what the hell all of it means!

That old cliché that beauty comes from within isn't just referring to your sparkling personality. If you want to look great on the outside, then you really do have to focus on what's going on inside your body too.

Happy New Year from all of us at MDC! We hope you rang in the New Year with a bang – and if you didn’t, we won’t judge you one bit for flaunting that sparkly liner anyway. As you dust off the remnants of last night’s glitter, we thought we’d give you a preview of […]
