Latest Trends in Bridal Hair Accessories

Choosing the right bridal hair accessories can be the perfect way for any bride to enhance that special glow.

Jeweled Headpieces

Looking for a way to add a little sparkle to your wedding day look? Here’s what’s trending in bridal headwear this season from one of our favorite accessory suppliers – Hair Comes the Bride!

A touch of silver and sparkle is very much en vogue. It’s also a brilliant way to create a bridal look that is as unique as you.  

Foliage designs remain popular but have evolved to depict more natural elements such as hair vines available in both subtle and larger headpieces to create a more twinkly effect.

Silver forms the base for the most stylish designs, with the sophisticated glitter of pearls, crystals and beading adding wow-factor in the detail.

Faux Floral Options

Brides looking for a spring/summer, casual or beachy look will love the real-life looking flowers. What we love as stylists is that options are available as a clip or hair pin!

Babydoll Weddings Beauty: Tips for the Perfect Wedding Day Eyes

Perfect Eyes for Your Wedding Day

Our stylists are frequently asked how to create the perfect wedding day eyes.  These simple tips will insure that your eyes are bright and beautiful whether you choose a classic, romantic or dramatic look.

Erase Dark CirclesBabydoll Weddings Beauty: Tips for Perfect Wedding Day Eyes Concealer

Did you stay up late dishing with your bride tribe?  Dark circles are an easy fix with the right concealer.  First, apply foundation and then gently pat your concealer in the corner of your eyes working outward.  Gently press concealer onto your skin – never rub.  To add staying power, top with a translucent powder.

The Brows Have It

Babydoll Weddings Beauty: Tips for Perfect Wedding Day EyesConsider having your brows shaped the week prior to the wedding by a professional that uses tweezers.  Waxing and threading don’t remove individual hairs and you want to make sure that your shape is clean and near perfect.  To enhance your brows, select a powder with the same undertone as your hair color but be sure it looks natural in the daylight. Outline the natural shape of your brows with an angled brush designed for this application then lightly fill in with powder and pencil if needed.  We love Urban Decay’s brow box.

Expert Eye Shadow

Create the perfect canvas for your shadow by applying primer to your eyes.  This will keep your eyeshadow from creasing and extend the wear time.  When applying color, opt for soft, subtle, neutral shades to enhance your eyes.  A creme base, layered with matte powder, will extend the life of your shadow from your first look all the way through your last dance.

Liquid or Pencil Liner

Babydoll Weddings Beauty: Tips for Perfect Wedding Day Eyes LinerLiquid liner can look heavy, especially in photos so our experts recommend a pencil liner in charcoal, navy or mahogany to enhance your eyes.  While black is a popular go-to, you may find it is too severe.  Consider amplifying your liner by applying a bit of shadow over the top (be sure to use a slightly damp brush to apply).

Bat Your Lashes

Babydoll Weddings Beauty: Tips for Perfect Wedding Day Eyes MascaraFalse lashes are popular additions to your wedding day beauty regimen but if you are a big crier you may want to rethink them.  Shedding tears of joy will cause your lashes to lift.  You can create a dramatic effect with your own lashes.  Start by curling the lashes, starting at the lid to create lift.  Follow this with a volumizing mascara (note, you can swipe a small amount of baby powder across your lashes to help the mascara grab thus creating more volume) but be sure it is waterproof! Now you are ready to face your groom and the camera.
