It was a treat for me as the publisher to get to speak with Stephanie and have her in the magazine. Knowing this fun, sweet, and
outgoing girl and hearing her story made me so happy to see her find true love.
Friends for 3 years before they started dating, Stephanie and Brett tell their story of their engagement, wedding, and tips for other soon to be brides
On her 30th Birthday at a Cabin at Beavers Bend, Brett Dupre proposed to Stephanie Strand in front of a group of their closest friends. She knew she had finally met her Prince Charming.
Stephanie and Brett Dupre married July 14th, 2012 . They chose a destination wedding and honeymoon at Gulf Shores Alabama State Park right on the beach. They wanted an intimate wedding with their closest friends and family, which Stephanie says was her favorite part of all. It was very personal and from hair, makeup and photography their friends all played a role
in helping make their wedding day special. In fact one of their closest friends was even ordained and married them, making it that much more unique. Brett’s favorite moment was after all this time seeing her walk down the aisle and knowing that she was going to be his wife.
The funniest moment Stephanie said was while she was getting ready everyone convinced her that her dad and Brett were running late. They told her, that her dad who never had any tattoos was getting one at that very moment right before her wedding. Of course this wasn’t true and something they laugh about now.
When it came to wedding planning Brett had his personality in there as well which is a great tip for other couples. If you do everything else let there be one thing that’s about the groom. For Brett they chose Purple and Gold for their Wedding colors due to him being a diehard LSU fan.
For Stephanie since she wanted an intimate wedding and something that really was unique for her personality to shine through and stay on a budget. She really shopped around on and offline. Pinterest was a huge help in how-to and ideas for what she wanted as well. You can have a beautiful, unforgettable wedding even on a budget.

To see all the details, photos, and more tips from
Stephanie & Brett’s Wedding go to
www.txbrideguide.comYou will also find great
Destination Wedding Ideas as well.
Her advice to brides to be:“No matter how big or small the wedding
worrying over every little detail is pointless
because at the end of the day you will still be
married to the love of your life. Also sit down
with your photographer prior to the wedding and
make a list of photos you really want for them
to take. She believes this is the most important
detail because it is the only thing years from now
you will have as memories from your wedding.
Keeping the ceremony true to you as a couple
Brett says was most important to him. Don’t get
lost in trying to make your wedding something
that is not you and your future spouse’s
personalities. You want to be able to look back
and see it was really all about both of you.”

With hectic schedules and worrying abouteveryone else around us, as women wesometimes forget how important it is for usand for our family to take care of ourselves. In order to feel beautiful it doesn’t have to be an all-day affair getting ready. With the proper regimen, the right makeup, and a hair style that fits you, you can get back to feeling gorgeous.
I spoke with stylist, esthetician, andmakeup artist to bring you some greattips when it comes to your hair, make-up and skin. First off when going to get your hair trimmed, colored, or both make sure you are asking for a condi-tioning treatment as well. This keeps your hair shiny, healthier and prevents split ends between trims. A few extra dollars and a few more minutes at the Salon it is definitely worth it.
When I spoke with Jami a Licensed Esthetician at Salon de Le Soleil, I was surprised to learn that facials are not just for relaxation but something to include in your schedule every month for the life and healthiness of your skin. Personally looking at a menu of services offered I would not know where to begin on what kind of facial that is best. Here though she does a unique consultation that is specific to your skin type so you get not just relaxation, but the best facial for your skin. When we reach our 30’s this is when we start noticing the lines and wrinkles and really start worrying about our skin. If you're tired of spending money on products or your just not sure what to use, talk with Jami and she can do a skin consultation and have you on a daily regimen that will work for you.

What I loved about Salon deLe Soleil was after talking with the stylist I found out
they will help you by doing a color consultation first, if you have colored your hair in the
past and need corrections they specialize in this too. “People do not realize how damaging it is to their hair to try to do at home color
especially the wilder colors.” (Reds, purples, blues, etc.)
So it’s best to make sure and pay the extra money and have this done at a Salon.
