Wedding Tips For How You Should Look On Your Special Day

July 22nd, 2009

Experts agree that many brides wear too much makeup or think that being  bejeweled from head to toe is glamorous.  However, you should think about not being overly accessorized.  I’m sure you know how you feel when you look at your mom’s wedding pictures, depending on when they got married, you can definitely tell what was in style at the time.  Think of how you will appear to your children when they are looking  at your wedding pictures 20 years from now.  You don’t want them saying “mom, what were you thinking?”  Instead, you want your look to be timeless.  Some ways to achieve this are:

1- Your makeup should enhance your features naturally, not disguise them.

2- You want your hairstyle to stay in place, but not look like a sculpture.

3- Choose jewelry that complements your gown but doesn’t overpower it.

4- Wear shoes that are elegant but comfortable, you will be on your feet for hours.

5- Consider having a second pair of shoes on hand in case your feet swell, and so you can enjoy dancing at your reception.

6- Remember you should wear the dress, not the dress wear you.  Instead of having a dress with too much  fabric, choose lace or embroidery or beading embellishments to make it special.  Just not all at once.

7-  Go to at least 3 different salons to try on as many dresses as you can.  If you think you like a particular style, keep in mind what will look good on your body type – not the size 0 model in the magazines.  Of course, many of you are probably a size 0, so you can skip this part of tip 7.

Wedding Makeup: Tammy Faye Baker – Not the look you’re going for

Pictures are the most important part of your wedding day. Memories that will last a lifetime. As a bride you  and your  bridal party should  look “picture perfect” for your most important day.  Soft and natural.  If you are doing your own makeup try these tips… foundation should hide imperfections yet be sheer enough to see your skin. Match your neck color.  You want to look like yourself but more polished. Keep it soft – this is not the day to try wild colors. Stay in the taupe’s and peaches and soft browns. Or try a soft coral pink with chocolate. Rim your eyes with a deeper color pencil in a waterproof formula . Follow with 3 coats of waterproof mascara (waterproof mascara is a must for those “tears of joy”), that will pop your eyes.
