Something you don’t want to forget about is your bridal style, but sometimes making just one more decision feels like too much – so we are going to share how to find your bridal style with the amazing Katelyn, co-founder of Elwynn + Cass.
What is your bridal style?
If you just got engaged or you are on your way to getting engaged, I’m sure you’ve imagined what your wedding day will look like. You’ve pictured the florals, the dress, and the overall aesthetic. You’ve probably decided what type of bride you are going to be as well. Not talking bridezilla, more like your bridal style – whether you are a glam, romantic, boho, etc. kind of bride. Depending on which kind of bride you want to be, your hair and makeup style should reflect it. So what is your bridal style? Let’s dive into these bridal styles and help you find the best fit for your wedding day!
Glam Bride
If you are a glam bride, you probably want to strut your stuff down the aisle like it’s a runway. You are the kind of bride that needs a bridal style that is classic and stunning, so when you look back at photos you feel like you are a Hollywood actress.
Hair and makeup styles that suit a glam bride:
- Smokey eye
- Classic red lip
- Hollywood waves
- Sleek bun
- Heavier on contour
You will definitely want bold lashes if you are a glam bride, so you might want to check out false lashes vs. lash extensions and see what works best for you.
Classic Bride
If you would describe yourself as more of a classic bride, one of your style icons is probably Jackie O; a classic beauty that wants an overall elegant feel for her wedding, and the memory to be timeless.
- Simple makeup + winged liner
- Neutral lip
- Low chignon
Your style is more simplistic and elegant, so it’s best to stay on the side of classic styles, rather than trends. You will want a soft makeup style, so airbrush might be a good option for you.
Natural Bride
You are the kind of bride that doesn’t normally wear a lot of makeup or do too much with her hair and most of all wants to feel like herself. When you look back at photos, you want to see yourself looking back at you, not a version of you that you don’t recognize or feel comfortable being. You are probably a bride who will definitely want to consider lighter types of makeup and focus more on the skin.
- Smooth finish for foundation
- Light contour/highlight to accentuate features
- Loose waves
- Braids
- Loose chignon with a few tendrils around the face.
Your focus is on feeling like yourself, so airbrush is definitely a good option since it’s a lighter kind of foundation.
You Do You!
Ultimately whatever kind of bridal style you want to embrace, just do what feels good to you. Spend some time on Pinterest, researching what you think is best for you. But keep in mind that you want to find styles that compliment you. It’s your wedding day, and you should do what feels best for you.
