PUSHED by the resurgence of vintage-style, theme based weddings are proving to be increasingly popular amongst couples. A number of couples are opting for a ceremony in a castle's romantic olde-worlde surrounding which has already proved to be a hit with celebrities such as Victoria and David Beckham who tied-the-knot in Luttrellstown Castle and more recently Shane Lynch and Sheena White in Kinnity Castle. There is a certain glamour associated with the vintage theme: swing music, Rolls Royce cars, wide lapels of a full-cut suit and above all, it also gives brides the opportunity to walk down the aisle in an elegant, figureflattering lace gown. Here are a couple of ideas to make your fairy-tale wedding a truly wonderful one.

The dramatic eyes were created using Opal Mineral Shadow as a base and Black Matte shadow over the lid and in the crease of the eye.
The eyes were lined with DS Indigo Automatic liner and smudged with Blush Dove Grey. The cheeks were given a hint of colour using Daniel Sandler flush and Pink gold eye delight used as a highlight on the cheek bone.
