Hair and Makeup

Glam Hollywood Look

If you're looking for glamorous makeup that will look timeless in your wedding photos, why not try the classic, old Hollywood look? Pair curled hair with your favorite makeup look, such as neutral brown shades as seen on Jessica Alba, Emily Blunt's soft romantic palette, the shimmery copper blush chosen by Lady Gaga, or the daring bold red lipstick worn by Miranda Kerr.

Sweet Romantic Look

If your friends say you have a sweet personality, then this type of makeup look will suit you best. Combine it with a sculptural up-do, and you will definitely be a graceful bride. If you're afraid of looking too sweet and innocent, don't worry, you can add a vintage touch like Daisy Ridley and Rooney Mara did with their taupe, smoky eyed makeup. Coral lipstick, like the one worn by Olivia Munn, is also suitable for your look.
