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.
