1: What makes you feel beautiful?

When choosing your bridal look I always start with what makes you feel beautiful? To some people that’s having their hair up, down, having pieces left out around the face. As a stylist I want to know what makes you feel beautiful and add in my style after!

2: Use your everyday hair and makeup look.⁣⁣

Bridal trends come and go so it’s really important that a bride choose a makeup style that makes her feel beautiful and is similar to her everyday look. A bride who doesn’t wear tons of makeup should choose a natural, glowy ” S’natural” look.

3: Find your perfect wedding hairstyle on Instagram and Pinterest

By Sam Palmer Hair; Tulsa hair stylist

When it comes to choosing a hairstyle for your wedding day, Instagram & Pinterest are great tools for inspiration! A couple tips that I love to give, is to always start by searching for styles with your same hair color. Different colors show different textures – a style on a blonde, may look totally different on a brunette!

Also, take into consideration your hair type (is it heavy & thick? Might you need to add extensions to your style of choice?), along with the possible weather for your wedding day & if it will be an outdoor or indoor ceremony!

4: Have you found your inspiration?

By Megan Berven Makeup; Oklahoma makeup artist

I recommend bride’s to take a look at both my portfolio and pinterest/instagram to find a bridal look they love. I suggest they choose an inspiration photo that has similar features to them such as eye/face shape, skin tone, hair color, etc.

Bridal magazines and Pinterest are great places to gather inspiration. Doing a hair and makeup bridal preview (or “trial”) with your artist will really bring your vision to life, this is the time to play with different ideas to make sure you feel like the best version of yourself.

6: What makes you feel like you?

By Aimee Daily Artistry; Dallas hair and makeup artist

In choosing your bridal makeup look you’re going to want to think about a few things: How much makeup do I wear on a daily basis? What colors do I like on my skin? I feel most beautiful when I do ___ with my makeup… for instance some people tend to feel pretty and glammed up when they have on a bold lip color, or eyeliner, or sparkly eye shadow.

Lastly, what makes you feel like you? If you don’t typically wear a lot of makeup then I probably wouldn’t suggest a heavy dark makeup look– you won’t feel like you! Pinterest is a great resource. There are hundreds of makeup looks on there for reference in finding the perfect look!
