Hello beautiful brides-to-be!
Planning your wedding look can be one of the most exciting parts of your big day prep. With so many trends to choose from, how do you decide on the perfect style? Fear not! We've rounded up the top wedding makeup and hair trends for 2024 to help you shine as bright as your love story.
Effortless Elegance: The Natural Makeup Look
The natural makeup look is reigning supreme in 2024. Think soft, glowing skin, subtle blush, and a touch of highlighter to accentuate your natural features. The key is to look like the best version of yourself. Here’s how to achieve this:
- Skin Prep: Start with a hydrating primer and a lightweight foundation.
- Soft Eyes: Opt for neutral eyeshadows, a thin line of eyeliner, and mascara for fluttery lashes.
- Blushing Bride: Choose a soft pink or peach blush and a matching lip tint.
Soft Glam Makeup: Nude Colour Palette
Soft glam makeup is all about enhancing your natural beauty with a touch of sophistication. This trend features a nude color palette, perfect for brides who want a subtle yet polished look. Think warm beige and taupe eyeshadows, complemented by a hint of shimmer on the eyelids. Pair this with a nude lip colour that suits your skin tone, and finish with a sweep of bronzer to add warmth and definition. Soft glam is versatile and timeless, making it ideal for any wedding style.
Bold Lips Are Back
If natural isn’t your thing, 2024 has you covered with bold, statement lips. Rich reds, deep plums, and vibrant berries can add a pop of colour to your look. Pair bold lips with minimal eye makeup to keep the focus on your stunning smile.
The Return of Retro Glam
Retro glam is making a comeback with classic winged eyeliner and red lips. Channel your inner Hollywood starlet with perfectly sculpted brows, defined eyes, and a matte red pout. This timeless look is perfect for brides wanting a touch of vintage glamour.
Soft Waves and Loose Curls
When it comes to hair, soft waves and loose curls are the go-to styles this year. They create a romantic and effortless look that complements any dress. You can wear your waves down, half-up, or with a simple floral accessory to add a whimsical touch.
Chic Chignons and Low Buns
For an elegant and sophisticated style, chic chignons and low buns are a top choice. These hairstyles are versatile and can be dressed up with hairpins, fresh flowers, or a delicate veil. They also work beautifully with almost any hair type and length.
Braided Beauties
Braids continue to be a favorite in 2024. From fishtail braids to boho-inspired braided crowns, these styles add texture and interest to your bridal look. Braids can be incorporated into updos or worn as standalone styles for a more relaxed vibe.
Accessories Are Everything
Hair accessories are having a major moment. Think pearl-encrusted pins, crystal headbands, and floral combs. These pieces can elevate a simple hairstyle and add a touch of sparkle to your overall look.
Customised Bridal Hairpieces
Personalised hairpieces are trending, allowing brides to infuse their personality into their hairstyle. Whether it’s a custom-made tiara or a unique hairpin, these pieces make your look truly one-of-a-kind.
