You want to look your best on your wedding day? Follow Colour Me Beautiful’s style and beauty advice to ensure you look fabulous.
To start, think about your perfect wedding day from beginning to end. What does it include? Look through bridal magazines for ideas to get you started. Look for dress, hair and makeup styles but also look for flowers, decorations and don’t forget the groom!
It doesn’t matter what type of wedding you’re planning, finding the perfect dress for your big day can be a big challenge. Brides today have much more opportunity to make their own choices. Even Princess Catherine chose her own dress and didn’t she look beautiful?
Following the trends of the season will keep you looking good and up to date. Vintage, retro-inspired weddings can be given a modern twist. Think of Kate Middleton and Prince William’s wed-ding, with Kate in a gorgeous modern take on the classic romantic wedding dress. Vintage wedding dresses can include a princess ball gown style dress with luxurious textures in delicate lace, vintage beading and embroidery in creamy antique white, pale grey, sage green and buttermilk yellow. Wearing estate jewellery, pearls, hair combs and tiaras completes this look.
The modern bride is wearing more of a modern sleek and chic style. Think short and sweet, and look for a less traditional style such as shorter cocktail strapless or one shoulder dress. Dresses can be white to get the effect of the ‘little white dress’ or you can try one of the new brighter colours of the season. Add a pair of plat-form pumps and you will make the perfect modern bride. Instead of a big veil, try a fascinator or a flower on the side of your hair.
The hottest colour stories for Spring 2011 are tropical brights or sunwashed pastels. Pink or hot pink looks newest when mixed with greens such as apple green, celadon, pine green and jade. Coral, salmon, tangerine and terracotta mix beautifully with turquoise or gold accessories. Lilac, lavender, violet, mauve and purple are a gorgeous combination. Classic colours include red, navy, emerald, burgundy and sunshine yellow.
No matter what your natural colouring is, there are colours that will look best on you. To find the perfect shade for your dress have a look at your skin tone. If you have a golden tone then you will look better in a softer and creamier white as well as warmer golden shades such as coral and peach. If you are pinky then you can wear a pure white or champagne plus pinks, blues, taupe and grey.
Remember your wedding photos of your bridal party will include your groom, bridesmaids, flower girls and parents. Select colours that work for everyone and also work well together. One of the latest trends in weddings is having your bridesmaid pick out her own dress to wear. This works wonderfully as the bridesmaid will get to wear her dress after the wedding. Just select the colour and let her do the rest. A lovely look is to have each bridesmaid wear her own style in varying shades of the same colour. The grooms and best men can also wear these colours in a tie or a waistcoat. Then your wedding photos will look amazing!
Every bride wants to look radiant on her wedding day. Take the time to learn your best makeup colours to wear and how to apply them so that you look natural and camera ready all day. If you really want to know your best colours, see a Colour Me Beautiful colour consultant. She will be able to coordinate everything to make sure you look as beautiful as the princess you are.

Little Wedding Tips (VII) - 結婚小貼士 (VII)
Wedding Style
If you're marrying in an open, white space like a loft, an art gallery, a photo studio, or a tent, embrace the airy effect by keeping the lines modern and sleek when it comes to your décor. But steer clear of accenting with a single strong color -- it will overwhelm this blank canvas.
婚禮場地
假如你結婚的場地是一個開放式的，白色的空間例如畫廊或帳篷之類，不妨保持適當的自然通風，以及簡約時尚的線條；避免太深沉的色調，因為這樣會破壞場地的氣氛及空間感。

Favors & Gifts In lieu of giving favors, consider donating to a cause you and your groom support. Then display the donations you're making with fabric-backed cards on an easel-style board.
小禮品
與其送一些無謂的小禮物，可以考慮將這筆錢捐贈給你和你新郎支持的慈善機構；再將捐款的收據貼在卡紙上，說不定能感染你的來賓去支持。

Favors & Gifts(2)
If you're looking for a party favor your guests can actually use, simple canvas totes serve as earth-friendly carryalls for groceries or gym clothes. Add a personal touch with custom-designed labels that play up your wedding style.
小禮品（2）
如果想找一些實際及來賓日後可以使用的禮物，一個簡單的帆布環保袋就最好。配上自家設計的標籤，更能突出你的婚禮主題。

Accessories
Red is our new favorite color for wedding accessories. The deepest shades of crimson have regal, Renaissance-era associations, while brighter shades can make an all-white wedding ensemble look peppermint stick-crisp, flirty and fun, or Joan Holloway-sexy. Try brightening up your look with a pair of fierce red heels, a crimson sash, or a red hair accessory.配件
紅色是最令人喜歡的顏色之一。深紅色感覺華麗，而較為鮮艷的紅更可以使一個全白的婚紗顯現性感。一對紅色的高跟鞋，深紅色的腰帶，或紅色頭飾都能突顯新娘的嬌美。

Music & Entertainment
Requesting covers of favorite classics and/or popular hits is an easy way to jazz up your playlist while keeping guests of all ages happy, entertained, and inclined to boogie. For instance, if you "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," try requesting it by Lauryn Hill instead of Frankie Valli for a new spin on an upbeat cocktail hour.
音樂
若要在婚禮上播放自己喜歡的經典歌曲／爵士樂，可以要求樂手演奏現代及輕快的版本，令不同年齡階層的客人都開心歡愉。

Kate's wedding gown tribute to another princess bride: Grace Kelly
在她 1956年的婚禮上，當她穿上她那襲貼滿複雜的花邊蕾絲高腰，長袖及有大長拖尾的婚紗時，她是如此的迷人和優雅。這是一個永恆的經典設計。難怪55年後，當凱特米德爾頓(Kate)現在選擇的婚紗時，都選擇在她的皇室婚禮上穿上同等經典的款式。在所有的元素當中，由法國蕾絲花邊製造商索菲哈雷(Sophie Hallette)製造的蕾絲就顯得相當重要。
凱特的服裝設計師莎拉伯頓(Sarah Burton) 選擇的索菲哈雷的蕾絲是獨家設計，設計於 1958年，用以製造的手工織機都已經超過100年。這個蕾絲的圖案由玫瑰花，水仙花和三葉草的特別精緻花卉圖案組成。每一塊蕾絲均由漢普頓宮英國皇家學院的的人員，使用源於1820年愛爾蘭卡里克馬克羅斯的花邊製作技術，從原來手工縫製的蕾絲人手刺繡在肩部，袖子和拖尾的絲質薄紗上。
即使是香奈兒(Chanel)的設計師卡爾拉格菲爾德(Karl Kagerfeld)也說，'這很漂亮，而且經典，並且和場地很配合，使人想起20世紀 50年代瑪麗蓮夢露和伊麗莎白女王的衣服...蕾絲花邊很漂亮，尤其是面紗和頭飾不太高，沒有過重的髮髻。它的拖尾長度是完美的。'
我們也喜歡凱特，這個新一代的公主。
We love Grace Kelly.
She is so charming and elegant when she was wearing her high-waisted gown with a intricate lace appliqué bodice and sleeves in long and dramatic train at her wedding in 1956. It was a timeless look. No wonder even 55 years later now when Kate Middleton choose a dress that so resemble the classic look in her royal wedding. Among all the elements present in the dress, the lace from French lace maker Sophie Hallette completes the look.
The Sophie Hallette lace selected by Sarah Burton, Kate's dress designer, is an exclusive model designed in 1958 and was manufactured on artisanal looms that are more than 100 years old. The roses, daffodils and shamrocks of the particularly dainty floral motif were cut out from the original lace and hand-sewn onto the silk tulle of the decollete, sleeves and train by the Royal School of Needlework at Hampton Court Palace, using a Carrickmacross lace-making technique, which originates from 1820's Ireland.
We love Kate, too.
