Wedding Fragrances by Gwendolyn-Mary
You don’t have to sacrifice quality or luxury to be green! Gwendolyn-Mary, a new luxury brand, has launched its first fragrance and candle line, and we must say it’s absolutely delightful! Their soy candles and perfume oils are made from the finest elements, derived from raw materials collected from around the world. The ingredients are all natural and alcohol-free, and all of the products are hand poured in the USA.
The PAVANE fragrance collection features three unique scents that represent the fragrance equivalent of select pieces of classical music, a nod to creator Kathleen Laccinole’s background as a classically trained pianist. PAVANE No. 2 is a bridal scent, inspired by Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March”. A blend of water lily, sacred Moroccan red rose, and stargazer lily notes, this floral scent has become huge hit as a signature wedding fragrance.
The fragrances and candles would make beautiful bridesmaid gifts, and add a romantic touch to your wedding décor, too!
All products are available for purchase at www.gwendolyn-mary.com.

Say ‘I Do’ with a HOOPLA Mani
How are the plans for that wedding-day mani and pedi coming? Hadn’t had a second to think about it? No worries! HOOPLA’s here! The fun and refreshing Kansas based beauty studio has taken its good, clean beauty fun on the road with a lovely new mini polish line!
The pretty polishes are made in the USA, formulated without the five most toxic chemicals (including formaldehyde) found in most other brands and are never tested on animals. Available individually or in a 3-pack, HOOPLA polishes are perfect for both brides and bridesmaids.
We fell in love with the I Do gift set, which includes a neutral pink (Playground Dreams), shimmering silver (Summer Solstice), and a glittery top coat (River Rain). The colors are gorg, and mini bottles are dainty enough to fit inside any small bag for quick touch-ups on the go.
Okay, so we adore these polishes so much, we want to share one with you! Please share your wedding colors below by 11:59 p.m. EST on June 16th for a chance to win!
