Diva Bridal Beauty


MakeupWeddings

Dramatic eyes is a very popular look for weddings, particularly when you’re having a evening event. I love a cut crease and we added a little sparkle here to really make it special. I played down the lips and lashes to keep it fresh and modern looking, but you could add strip lashes to make the look even more striking. See my Classic Bridal Beauty piece for an alternative look.

Classic Bridal Beauty


MakeupWeddings

This could also be known as my classic look. You have seen me wear this style make-up a lot on this site. This is a more refined skin focused look. Perfect for brides who want a timeless look. I wanted to create a series of Bridal Beauty looks which would act as a definitive guide to wedding makeup options. This is the first of the series which will also include a cut crease diva look, a blushing bride, a nude look and a bronze look.

How to get the Look

All the products used are Bobbi Brown.
Andjelika also prepped my skin with Bobbi Brown skincare before applying the makeup to have a great base. The focus is on the texture of your skin and the tone of the red lip. Don’t wear too much blush and keep things matt and soft. Lashes add a great dimension to the look. I’m wearing Eylure ones here. Do see my Bridal Beauty Base piece for how to make your makeup last all day.

Bridesmaids Dresses 101


ArticlesOutfitsWeddings

With a reputation for fashion horror stories – the bridesmaids dress is a mercurial character. Here is my guide to making your maids look stunning not funny.

Classic

A classic bridesmaid dresses is often silk and biased cut. They can look lovely but the key is to choose a cut and colour to suit your girls. Often people don’t think about this and then their poor bridesmaids end up looking like sausages. These are my top picks…

 Silk Cowl neck
Grecian
Caped
Wrap
Something
slinking and pink

Colour

Choosing bridesmaids dresses in brighter stronger colours can really enhance you’re location. Dark greens and blues often look particularly lovely. Also darker colours are just more wearable on most people. These are my picks…

Shorter
Pink
Burgundy
Red

Tulle

Tulle is a wonderful way to dress your bridesmaids. Feminine and soft, there are so many styles and it can be worn easily day to night. Knits look great with tulle, and can create a softer look for a more casual atmosphere. There are wonderful affordable options on ASOS to suit most people (and there is 20% off occasion wear today!)…

Full length or Midi
One shoulder with frill or without
Bardot
Yellow Prom

Luxe

I have decided to go luxe for my bridesmaids (which you will see soon). I know I want them to look and feel their best and I thought it was a wonderful way to give them a thank you for being my friend. These are my recommendations if you want to go the Luxe route…

Girly and flirty
Elegant and grecian
Embellished heaven
Off shoulder
Full
Needle and Thread

More and more options...

Do see below for all my recommended picks!
