Your wedding gown will make a strong style statement, but that is only the beginning. To really complete the effect, you need the right bridal hair, makeup and bridal jewelry. These tips will help you pick a hairdo and makeup style that enhance the style of your wedding gown.
Vintage style is very popular for weddings these days, and it can mean very different things to different people. It is easy to find pictures of old film stars online to use for guidance. It really helps to have a sense of what you want before you start having hair and makeup trial runs. If you love the retro pin up style, pair a fitted slinky gown with hair worn down in waves and pinned back over one ear. Hair ornaments and jewelry with a bit of sparkle will be the pefect accessories. For makeup, go with a matte finish foundation, strong red lips, and lots of eyelashes. Your groom won’t be able to take his eyes off of you!
For a tulle wedding gown, a ballet inspired bun will be perfect. Pull everything back into a smooth knot in the back. This hairdo is very gracious. Wear a classic tulle veil and pearl bridal jewelry to accent this hairstyle. Keep your cosmetics classic and elegant. Pink cheeks, soft eye makeup, and either pink or red lipstick will be ideal. Classic elegance never goes out of fashion.
Brides getting married on a beach need to go a completely different way with their wedding beauty. Since beach wedding gowns are usually relaxed and fun, your hairstyle should be too. Pulling your hair into a soft braid is a great style for the beach. This kind of hairstyle is perfect for an informal beach wedding. Or try pinning back just the very front of your hair and allow the rest to be loose. When you are going for the casual beachy look, your best bet is to embrace that slightly touseled look. Keep your makeup fairly simple: rosy blush, soft lips, and some waterproof mascara.
If your bridal gown is very ornate, your hairstyle and beauty routine should also be very elegant. Planning to wear a fantasy silk wedding gown? Be sure your hair measures up. Ask to have your hair made into an intricate knot. Accent it with a small tiara and gorgeous crystal earrings and a long veil. You couldn’t go wrong with a chignon or French twist either. As for your makeup, go with a nicely balanced face; no one feature should stand out. Brighten up your eyes with a highlighter under the brow bone. To add even more elegance, weave a set of crystal hairpins into the back of your hair.
It is fantastic when your hairdo, accessories, and cosmetics all tell the same story as your wedding dress. When everything works in perfect harmony, the effect is simply spectacular.
