Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed and Something -- Red!
By Edee Beau

As women we can't help but always fall back to our trusted old traditions - the beautiful flowers, the pretty bridesmaids, the stunning white gown, we could go on. Now, we are not saying that there's anything wrong with these good old traditions especially on your big day but why not add your own sexy twist on this memorable occasion with a dash of red!

This is about romanticising the traditional white gown with sultry red lips, sexy voluptuous hair and vibrant glossy red nails to enhance that passionate dangerously-in-love look. Make-up artist Edee Beau from Edee Beau Hair & Make-up Studios dares to cross the boundaries of love and venture into more risky territory by tearing up the rulebook and painting it a deliciously sultry crimson.

Ms Beau has chosen red (which is also the colour of her brand) as a bold, yet subtle theme for her bridal looks, showing that you can have the choice of being bold and sexy or subtle and sultry
