How do you decide what is right for you on your special day? How can you go about choosing that style that communicates confidence and individuality as you say “I do”? To make sure you don’t wince at your wedding photos ten years from now, we have compiled some classic yet trendy looks that are hitting the bridal runway this year that will make you look and feel your best. Your guests will marvel at your beauty, style, and grace as you embrace these looks and make them uniquely your own.

Here are some inspiring hair and makeup trends for you to sport on one of the most important days of your life.

Go Natural

More and more brides are wanting to emulate the simplicity and elegance that accompanies an “au natural” look with bridal makeup and hair.

This can either mean sticking with earthy tones or a light coverage of foundation and a small amount of coloured cosmetics to softly enhance your natural features and going with a simple wedding upstyle that requires minimal upkeep on your special day.

Glossy Lips

An inviting gloss will nourish your perfect pout that will surely make your lips kissable during that “you may kiss the bride” moment. Muted shades with a glossy bottom lip will leave you radiant in pictures and camera ready all through the evening.

Smoky Eyes

Nothing is more striking in pictures or in person like a pair of luminous, smoky eyes. Our makeup artists can give you muted hue over the top lid and play up definition around the edges, and then pair it up with some long, thick lashes to make you the envy of all the other ladies at your big bash. Smile!

Sport Some Lashes

Nothing feels quite so glamorous as having a full set of lashes to brighten up your eyes. Our makeup artists can either give you beautiful lash extensions or temporary false lashes for that extra wow factor. These big lashes can also work great with soft or natural colors.

Bold Brows

Believe it or not, bold brows are making a comeback on the fashion scene, and this is closely mimicked in wedding culture as well. Eyebrows with strong shape will help frame your face better and help accentuate your best facial features. Needless to say, you’ll make an impression with your bold and glorious gaze.

Wavy Hair

Whether fashioned in a ponytail, gathered at the nape of the neck or worn in a glorious cascade down the back, wavy hair is all the rage this wedding season. Whether tousled, textured or tight, a wavy hair can create a soft and romantic look that will delight all who see you on your big day.

A Low Bun

Nothing says style, class, and sophistication like a soft bun gathered at the nape of the neck. It’s also the perfect way to show off a gown with a revealing back and can be done with a variety of hair lengths.

Pairing this vintage hairstyle with some vintage makeup will make you the epitome of striking beauty.

Statement Hairpiece

Bohemian gals, rejoice! There is room for a statement hairpiece in your ensemble on your special day! Wedding hair and makeup should be about your style and what makes you comfortable and at ease. Floral headpieces add a splash of color and uniqueness to your whole look and can complement a flowing gown quite nicely. On the other hand, if a luxurious crown or tiara is more your style, feel free to frost your cake with some bling that can be seen all the way down the aisle. As such, these accessories can often dictate your hairstyle so remember to bring them during your hair trial.

A Romantic Braid

Braids are making a comeback as well. A crown-circling twist or French braid cascading down the back will keep your tresses under control while adding a soft and romantic flair to your look. They can also be enhanced with few sprigs of your favorite flower or baby’s breath. What’s better is that they also work

Your wedding is such a joyous occasion and as a bride, you have to look your best during your special day. Choose your hairstyle and makeup depending on the style of your dress, your wedding theme, and the time and setting of the ceremony, and don’t be afraid to glam it up a bit. After all, it is your big day!

Also, hair and makeup trials exist for a reason. So schedule some sessions with our trusted hair and makeup stylists and ask for their professional styling and advice.

Achieving the perfect wedding hair and makeup should be an enjoyable process; relish the attention and look forward to the perfect wedding day filled with wonderful memories!
