I know the majority of brides-to-be like a fresh, and natural look for their wedding, but there may be some of you out there who want a slightly more glamorous/seductive look for the evening. If you are lucky enough to have a makeup artist for your big day, why not ask him or her to change your look during the reception for a more sophisticated look?

If you want to get glamorous evening bridal makeup look by yourself then we have some suggestions and tips below.

Chanel’s Christmas 2013 makeup collection is perfect for achieving a glamorous evening makeup style. The ‘Ombres Matelassées de Chanel eye palette, has five eyeshadows in shades such as beige, bronze, and violet plum. Red lipstick is a must, which can be achieved with their two new shades La Désirée and La Précieuse, both bold and seductive colors.

I love the idea of choosing a ‘natural’ makeup look as you walk down the aisle as a ‘Miss’, but then switching things up a bit after you have become a ‘Mrs’. I am sure your new husband will appreciate it!

I don’t know about you, but I often think today’s Hollywood stars don’t do glamour nearly as well as the iconic stars from the past such as Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Rita Hayworth. Perhaps its because fashions have changed or they are influenced too much by their stylists? Or is it simply because in today’s hectic world, the majority of us don’t have the time or inclination to do glamour like women from yesteryear.

For those of you who abhor the word ‘casual’ and everything it stands for, then I insist you go for full on glamour when it comes to your wedding day. Think a ‘black tie’ dress code, plenty of sequins and shimmer, and outfits that have the ‘wow’ factor. Still need help conjuring up how to achieve a ‘glamorous wedding?’ Then be inspired by these ideas I have put together…

Bridal Hair Accessories Too Wow…!!!

As anyone who works in the fashion industry will tell you, an outfit is not complete without the right accessories! The same rule should apply to what you wear in your hair to complement your wedding gown.

You may think your job is done if you have found your dream bridal dress, but you would be mistaken. Have you thought about how you are going to wear your hair yet? And if you have decided on your hairstyle, what about the right headpiece or veil?

I would urge you not to leave finding your hair accessory/headpiece or veil until the last moment. If you are having a hairdresser do your hair on your big day, you will want him or her to do a hair trial a few months beforehand and see whether your headpiece works with the hairstyle you want.

When it comes to bridal hair accessories, I would advise you to think very carefully. Don’t go for something that will overpower your dress. On the contrary, you don’t want to go for anything too small that won’t enhance your look. I believe that you should get a similar feeling when you try on the perfect hair accessory to when you found your dream dress. You will know when it is right for you. It will not only suit the shape of your face, but the look/style of your wedding. Here is my pick of the most beautiful hair accessories to choose from…
