BEAUTY BUZZ By: Jennifer Goslovich Owner; PierVana Hair-Spa-Jewels Start Your New Journey with a Great Foundation

POWDER FOUNDATION | This is a light mineral foundation, It's in powder form for an easy, flawless application anywhere, any time. Comes in compact form with sponge and mirror.

LIQUID FOUNDATION | When I need a little more coverage on my Brides, I use Skin Tint Creme. It helps to cover scars, acne, and uneven pigment the best. Plus it comes in 14 shades so I always have the perfect match. I also love Mirabella's Concealer for under eyes, eye-lids and contouring. Mirabella's Primer is a great for filling in large pores and fine lines. I use this prior to the foundation if needed.

Anything worth building needs to start with a great foundation. That includes your skin. Want your eyes to pop, make them appear bigger or smaller? Your cheek bones to dominate, your lips plump? How about chiseling a prominent jaw or

narrowing a wide nose. All that can happen, but first you need a good foundation. I start my make-up clients with Mirabella Mineral Foundation. It comes in two main cat-egories: Liquid and powder are the most popular.

BEAUTY BUZZ By: Jennifer Goslovich Owner; PierVana Hair-Spa-Jewels

Hi! Im Jennifer Goslovich, of PierVana Hair-Spa-Jewels. I have been a stylist for over 30 years, working in New York City as well as Vermont. I love my career and boy do I have beauty tips for you!Send your questions [email protected] we might use them for future Beauty Buzz.

My favorite foundation hands down is Mirabella's CC Creme! It goes on just like a moisturizer but evens out any skin tone flawlessly. I'm protected from the sun, and I do not feel oily or dry and it stays on all day. I LOVE IT!

Bonus tip | Don't under estimate a good brush! Best way to apply liquid foundation is with Mirabellas Foundation Brush. I find I need less product plus it doesn't cake or settle into the pores like it does with finger application.


SPOTLIGHT ON STYLE spring blooms

For as long as weddings have been celebrated, flowers have adorned and deco-rated them. Fresh and fragrant, with a soft, blushing beauty to echo the bride's.

S P OT L I G H T O N ST Y L E


Bold, spring blooms can add drama, romance, and stunning beauty to any space. And their intoxicating aroma is an added bonus for ambiance.

INSPIRATION hoppily ever after

With the recent rise in microbreweries, and their loyal followers, it is not surprising that many couples are making their favorite beer selections a focal point of their

reception. It certainly helps that Vermont boasts forty microbreweries of its own, making it number one in the nation for microbews per capita. With so many to choose from, it is easy to find something that will satisfy every discerning taste.


inspiration inspiration


Craft beer pairs perfectly with the popular farm-to-table movement and offers tons of options for unique displays of artistically designed bottles. Keep the theme going

by incorporating actual hops, which are the flowers of the hop plant, in the decor.



The home-grown, charm is easily carried through to hand-illustrated invitations featuring various flora, and as decoration around a rustic, tiered cake.

Custom growlers would make an excellent gift for groomsmen (or bridesmaids!) or as a keepsake for the happy couple to remember the day by.

INSPIRATION modern city celebration

You don't need the hustle and bustle of a metropolis to achieve a modern, city style celebration. Burlington has just the right balance of hometown charm and urban landscapes. The brick covered, pedestrian friendly, downtown features funky art

galleries and brew pubs mixed with boutiques and award-winning fine dining.


Transform an outdoor dining patio into an urban oasis with a space saving trellis wall garden and wide plank farm tables. The white square plates and stone square planters keep the geometry fresh and contemporary. The bold contrast of cobalt

blue and burnt orange gets cooled off just a tad with a silvery gray.

INSPIRATION nostalgic romance

There's something about lace, violets, and classic cars that evoke an old-fashioned, romantic feeling. Put them together in a charming historic church, that has seen its

fair share of weddings over the years, and you have an enchanting, timeless style.


inspiration


The Round Church, in Richmond, Vermont, is a celebrated historic landmark. With its unique shape and lush, green setting, it is a

favorite wedding location. Locally grown violets, lilacs, and other delicate spring blooms are a perfect compliment to the iconic white church and a spread of delectable cookies and pastries.

INSPIRATION woodland winter warmth

Just because it's winter, doesn't mean you can't still create warmth and richness using the best that Vermont has to offer, with leather and wood details, softly

knitted scarves, and a crackling fire perfect for s'mores.


inspiration


Having your wedding in the winter is the perfect excuse to bring on the bolder flavor of chocolate and satisfy your sweet tooth with rich, baked goods.



inspiration


Pinecones and berries aren't just for the woodland animals. They make great textural decr in the absence of seasonal flowers. Drape large pine boughs for an injection of contrast and colortheir invigorating fragrance is an added bonus.



The monochromatic feel of the winter landscape is easy to brighten up with some rich berry tones and lively greens. A few pops of bright blue echo the icy feel in the air. Using dark brown wooden furnishings helps warm up the

setting. Add in a soft and cozy shawl and you will hardly feel the cold!

The Perfect Vermont Wedding FavorIf you are having your wedding in Vermont then chanc-es are you have a great fondness for the Green Mountain State and are eager to share its beauty and splendor with all of your closest friends and family. A common thread with Vermont weddings is the desire to showcase Ver-mont made products and, especially, food. No matter where your guests are from they have most likely heard of Vermont maple syrupa sweet del-icacy that conjures images of red, maple leaf covered

hills, stone walls, and rustic barns in bucolic farm fields. It is widely coveted for its unique flavor and can be quite hard to find, as well as expensive, once you get outside the boundaries of New England. This is what makes maple syrup the perfect Ver-mont wedding favor. It is something your guests will both love and are guaranteed to use and enjoy. Give them a piece of Vermont to take home and remember your celebration with every delicious drop.

WEST MOUNTAIN INN | ARLINGTON, VTPHOTOS BY CELIA KELLY PHOTOGRAPHY

real wedding


ERIN AND AUSTIN BOTH GREW UP IN VERMONT, HE IN MANCHESTER AND SHE IN

ARLINGTON. EVEN THOUGH THEY MET IN HIGH SCHOOL, THEIR PATHS BROUGHT

THEM DIFFERENT WAYS IN COLLEGE. BUT SHORTLY AFTER, THEY FOUND EACH

OTHER AGAIN, AND KNEW THEY WERE DESTINED TO BE TOGETHER FOREVER.

VERMONT HOLDS A WARM PLACE IN BOTH OF THEIR HEARTS SO WHAT BETTER

PLACE TO OFFICIALLY TIE THE KNOT THAN AMONG THE BEAUTIFUL GREEN

MOUNTAINS WHERE MOST OF THEIR FAMILY STILL RESIDES..

THE DAY WAS FORECASTED AS A 90% CHANCE OF RAIN, SO ERIN AND AUSTIN WERE

NOT SURE THEY WERE GOING TO GET THE OUTDOOR CEREMONY THEY WANTED.

LUCKILY, THE RAIN HELD OFF JUST LONG ENOUGH FOR THEM TO SAY THEIR "I DO'S"

OVERLOOKING THE GREEN MOUNTAINS, WITH THE FIRST DROPS OF RAIN FALLING AS

THE OFFICIANT RECITED "MAY THE RAIN WASH AWAY YOUR WORRIES".

Barn

Weddings

and why we love them

Nothing says Vermont Wedding quite like a rustic, barn setting. Rich with historical meaning and timeless character, barns are an iconic building throughout New England and have a certain charm that no modern-day structures can match.

The pastoral landscape surrounding barns is the perfect, romantic back-drop for weddings. The rustling of leaves, chirping of birds, and bab-bling of a brook transport you and your guests to the magical far away time of fairy tales.

A barn can be both rustic and modern, country and elegant. It is an inspiring, blank canvas waiting to be transformed into your perfect wedding vision. Barns go with any color palette and nearly every style theme.

AFTER KNOWING EACH OTHER FOR YEARS, IT TOOK A CHANCE ENCOUNTER ON FACEBOOK

TO FINALLY BRING JENNY AND LUKE TOGETHER. A LEAP OF FAITH AND MONTHS OF LONG

DISTANCE DATING EVENTUALLY LED TO THE PIVOTAL MOMENT WHERE LUKE ASKED JENNY

TO BE HIS WIFE. THE PAIR BOTH GREW UP IN THE NORTHEAST KINGDOM OF VERMONT, AND

MOST OF THEIR FAMILY IS STILL IN THE AREA, SO IT WAS THE OBVIOUS CHOICE FOR THEIR

WEDDING. PLUS YOU JUST CAN'T BEAT THE GORGEOUS LANDSCAPE AND MOUNTAIN VIEWS.

IT WAS IMPORTANT TO JENNY AND LUKE TO HAVE A RELAXED, COMFORTABLE CELEBRATION

WHERE EVERYONE FELT AT HOME. FROM THE OUTDOOR CEREMONY WITHOUT A DRESS

CODE, CASUALLY ARRANGED WILD FLOWERS, AND THE BIG, COUNTRY BUFFET WITH MIS-

MATCHED CHINA, THE DAY FELT MORE LIKE A FAMILY REUNION THAN A FORMAL AFFAIR.
