Weddings are straying away from the norm
these days in a lot of ways. Whether it’s a punk rock theme with a skull cake,or
a forest-theme out in the open air. There’s one part of their special day that
no bride wants to forget though, and it’s the feeling she has when she finally
looks in the mirror on the morning of her wedding.
That’s why so many brides are choosing to
stray away from the traditional wedding setting by making a statement of their
outfit. There are plenty of ways to do it, you just have to get creative, and
here are the top ways to go about it…
Statement
hair
Whether it’s a fishtail plait braided with
flowers and crystals or an up-do with attitude, many brides are looking to
their locks for inspiration as to how they can get a truly unique look.
Consider your theme for some inspiration, as it can be a good way to tie
everything together. For a 1920's theme, go for pin curls and a feather
fascinator. If you’re going for a plain and simple dress, why not embellish
your hair with a lace headpiece instead? If all your groomsmen are wearing
bow-ties, I wonder what your guests would think if you turned up with your hair
in a huge bow-tie?
Be
bold with makeup
Don’t afraid to go bold with colours. A
dark red lipstick can look stunning against the pale tones of your outfit, or
why not look into some funky eye make-up that matches your wedding colours?
Whatever thoughts you have, discuss them with your stylist first. If you’re
living in the North West, you’ll be able to find a highly-qualified and
experienced hair and makeup artist
in Manchester, who also has training in theatrical work. If you’re thinking
of going bold, this is the best kind of knowledge you can have on your side.
Update
the veil
Who said veils had to be long, white and
boring? Your outfit should make you feel happy and comfortable, so if you want
to move more towards the crazier veils, then what’s stopping you? Again, you
can look to your theme for inspiration. If you’re going down the tea party
route, why not have a little Mad Hatter’s hat made to match your dress? If
you’re having a ceremony on the beach, why not go for a starfish clip with a blush pink, shortened veil across the face?
Theme
up your dress
You only have to remember one thing about
your dress: it’s yours! You can do whatever you like to your dress and it will
still be “the one”. If you want to customise it and make a statement with it,
then don’t be afraid to. Add a belt of ivy leaves and matching headdress for a
summer garden wedding, or talk to your dress maker about adding some colour
with a lace overlay.
I hope you found these tips useful – how
did you make a statement on your wedding day?
