Eva Longoria Saw "RED"--wedding gift bags

It is hard to escape the frenzy of a celebrity wedding these days, and Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria's European wedding extravaganza to Tony Parker is no exception. Apparently, Ms. Longoria's decision to make the items in her gift bags to special guests, red-themed, will now be all the rage for brides wondering how to say "thanks" to their guess on that special day. The details, are below.

Eva likes red. It is an exciting color, one of love and romance, so Eva put her favorite red items together and gifted bags during her wedding week to the most important women in her life which included: her mom, mother-in-law, bridesmaids and even made an extra one for herself!


Some of the items included were:

Alain Mikli sunglasses: (for Eva) and her bridesmaids (Longoria's choices were $495, but you can keep the sun out of the eyes and opt forless fancy frames)Longoria's are available at: Alain Mikli boutiques 1-800 829 8032

Apparently, Ms. Longoria is a big fan of Laura Mercier makeup (as am I) and her gift bag included lip pencil, lip colour, lip glace. and cheek color in red/pink tones. At $18-$22 adding quality makeup to your guest's gift bags is an affordable touch.
