When is your bridal look a Fad

A bridal look is a very personal thing and many brides enjoy getting pampered with makeup application and hairstyling.  On the other hand, which bridal look to choose may be a daunting task for some.  So I’ve listed some questions to ask yourself when working with your stylist.

1.  Is the makeup and hair timeless and appropriate to the dress style, venue and theme.  Remember you’ll have to look back at these photos and show them to your children and grandchildren.

2.  Is the look a trend that will come and go quickly.

3.  Is the hairstyle complementing your facial shape.

4.  Is the eyeshadow color and application, your personal style or a fashion look.

When starting the Bridal Beauty Process

When starting the bridal beauty process, it is a good idea to look in the mirror and see what needs to be enhanced and what may need a little camouflague.  Longer hair is easier with most bridal up do’s, so you might consider growing your hair out starting today.  This should be followed by a trip to your hairstylist to discuss whether highlights, lowlights, treatments and a light trim are needed.  Next, the texture of your skin is obviously very important on your wedding day.  Begin by getting facials once a month at least 3 months before your wedding, this will help the makeup go on smoothly and last longer.  Check out bridal and fashion magazines, Pinterest and the Knot to find the latest bridal looks appropriate for you and your wedding venue.  Book your trial session about 1 to 3 months before your wedding, to ensure the look is perfect for you.  Make a realistic fitness plan and work out with a buddy to help keep you on track.  The two areas of your body to pay close attention to when wearing your wedding dress are your shoulders and abdominals.

That’s it for now.  Remember to enjoy the journey, not just the destination.
