Choosing Your Wedding Day Look

Your wedding hair and makeup will complete your wedding day look. However, with all the options available, it can be hard to decide which route to go. We asked local wedding hair and makeup artist, Brittney Boscana of Brie and Brie the top things for bride’s to consider when choosing your wedding day look.

Consider Your Everyday Look

If you always wear your hair down, consider doing the same on your wedding day. When a bride who never wears her hair up chooses an updo for her wedding, many times she’ll feel uncomfortable because she is just not used to seeing herself this way. If this is you and you really want to wear your hair up, then leave some pieces around your face to give you the feel you are used to. This goes for makeup as well. If you are a minimalist when it comes to your everyday makeup, opting for a dramatic red-carpet makeup look, probably isn’t the best idea.

Be Realistic

When selecting your wedding day look, consider your natural skin tone, eye shape, hair, etc. Opting for a down-do with beachy waves, when your hair doesn’t hold a good curl probably isn’t your best option. Wedding days are LONG. Professional hair and makeup artists have products and tricks but it can be hard to fight mother nature. Get advice and trust their expertise when planning your look.

Be Inspired by Your Attire

Does your dress have a high neckline or low back? Is it understated elegance that channels Jackie O or the Royal Wedding? Or maybe your dress is full of personality and bling?

Your hair and makeup can enhance your style of wedding dress. If you are going for a more elegant style, a natural look may complement your gown better. If you choose a detailed gown, then consider a more dramatic look. Whatever look you choose, stay true to your own beauty. Make it about you!
