So Spring/Summer is coming up and that means weddings! I have seen a lot of styles that work well and some not so well. The number one thing that I always say about getting ready for your big day is this: “As a bride your natural beauty should simply be enhanced.” This means that instead of looking like a completely different person, you should magnify your own beauty while still looking natural. How does this work? First you need to pick your perfect dress. Then decide if you want to wear your hair up or down. After these decisions are made you can start on putting everything together. If you decide to wear your hair up make sure that it looks natural. This means that stuffing your hair into some overly contrived prom nightmare is not an option. The problem here is that they can take away from the rest of the look. You want to wear your hair up in a way that looks like you would on any other day, just a lot more polished. If you wear it down, the same rule applies. The point is to make every part of the look (ie. Hair, makeup, dress, jewelry, etc) look elegant by themselves while at the same time not taking away from the others. When you walk down the aisle you don’t want people to say “Wow, look at her dress” or “look at her hair.” Your goal is to have them say “She looks STUNNING!”
Finally, I have included a photo below that I got from a website that does wedding photography. I am not sure who the stylists were but they did a great job! This is a great example of how to keep the look elegant and natural. You’ll notice not one thing stands out, the dress, makeup and hair all do their own part to make up the overall look. They all look great on their own, and amazing together. She looks beautiful, but she doesn’t look overdone.
