The Makeup Show NYC

We just finished out The Makeup Show NYC 2010! We have been a part of this from the beginning, so it is great to see the growth and development of the show from then to now.

Amazing pro products, seminars/workshops, and tons of industry friends to see and new ones to meet.

Makeup is such a vast wonderland with products and tools for every corner of the industry: beauty, fashion, editorial, bridal, special fx, and more.

We will be reviewing some new products we learned about in the coming days, so stay tuned for the inside scoop!

They Did It Again!

The Wedding Guys® honored with three prestigious BSPi Star Awards!



Since 2003, MG Hair and Makeup and our sister company, Bridal Beauty Artists Network, have been working with The Wedding Guys creating the gorgeous hair and makeup for the models of their main stage and couture runway shows.



The Unveiled Wedding Event produced by The Wedding Guys, Matthew Trettel and Bruce Vassar, received three Bridal Show Producers International STAR Awards for Best Show Marketing, Best Show Program and Best Show Television Commercial at the 2010 BSPI Annual Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 1, 2010. The BSPI - STAR Awards are designed to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts, performance, and outstanding contributions in the bridal show industry.

The BSPi STAR Awards were presented to The Wedding Guys, in recognition of a mark of global distinction and the highest level of professional acknowledgement within the bridal show industry today with their national show tour of the Unveiled Wedding Event in Dallas, TX and Atlanta, GA. To date the work of The Wedding Guys has been honored with a total of eight (8) BSPi Star Awards.

The Unveiled Wedding Event is a national show tour created by The Wedding Guys redefining the typical bridal trade shows. "People communicate and interact differently in today's social networking world," said The Wedding Guys, "and the market needs to respond in the same way". No longer do brides want to walk down rows and rows of exhibits, they want a fun and exciting shopping experience. They want an experience of interacting with their wedding service providers. "As much as technology has changed how people communicate today, perhaps some traditional events such as weddings still require that face to face experience that only a bridal show can offer."

"Unveiled is the best bridal experience we've ever participated in! From the very beginning to the very end the Unveiled Team created a modern chic "New" approach to the way a bride should view their wedding experience. RSVP Special Events & Design will be there every year, to support this incredible show! Thanks Unveiled for staying true to the essence of the modern bride!         - Mrs. Randi Moore, Owner, RSVP Special Events & Design

The Wedding Guys® looking to redefine by design the state of weddings, have found themselves launched into the international wedding scene more then they have ever been before. 'Each year the bar has been raised, but now it's been raised even higher," said Trettel. Partnering with local wedding service providers, The Wedding Guys created the Unveiled Wedding Event - a wedding trunk show experience with everything a bride could need for her wedding. As one bride said who recently attended their show in Atlanta, GA, "I loved the wide assortment of vendors. I have been planning my wedding for 18 months and didn't expect to find anything new, but I found a lot! I have completely changed many elements of my wedding based on what I found at your show. "

Upcoming Unveiled events are October 10, 2010, at the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas, TX and November 14, 2010, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA. Show information is available at UnveiledWeddingEvent.com
