Wedding Makeup No.1: Peachy Goddess

It is definitely a very simple, yet stunning makeup look that creates the illusion of natural, blushed porcelain skin. Instead of masking your face, emphasize your features with a sheer coverage foundation and a peach shimmery blush. Leave your brows natural and a bit thin, and follow your natural eye shape with a dark brown or black eyeliner instead of creating a bold cat eye look. Since the color palette of this look is very neutral, a pop of black on your eyelids and lashes will make the makeup look subtle yet still interesting. Use a warm, peach lipstick on your lips and matte it down with a hint of translucent powder.
Wedding Makeup No.2: Soft Smokey

If you are not a fan of grey and black eyeshadow, try out a mix of mauve and brown shades on your lids and a rose pink lipstick. Because a heavy eyeshadow can make your lashes ‘’disappear’, use a pair of natural looking false lashes, and finish your look with a nude or peachy pink lipstick.
Wedding Makeup No.3: Classic Red Lips

If your skin has cool undertones, a berry or icy red color is an amazing choice, but for girls with warm undertones, deep, brownish and burgundy reds will look stunning. Because it will be a long day, matte lipsticks and liquid lipsticks are more comfortable and practical options. To complement the vintage red lipstick, choose a red undertone blush (a very light, pastel red or fresh rose) and add false lashes to open up your eyes a bit more.
Wedding Hair No.1: Boho Chic Floral

The combination of floral details and soft, messy curls will go amazingly with more simple, minimalistic dresses, as well as with beautiful lace gowns. Our favorite flowers would have to be light pink roses or lilies in your hair, but if you are feeling really experimental, why not try out a pop of color with a sunflower accessory or wear an all-white flower crown instead of the regular tiaras? To achieve this boho chic look, use a curler to create loose waves and create different sections in your hair, so the curls will all look a bit different.
Wedding Hair No.2: Crown Braid

The beautiful braided crown frames the face beautifully while creating an overall romantic effect, so it’s perfect if you have a lace maxi dress or a wedding gown with a sweetheart neckline. Create a side part in your hair line and start braiding the front section of your hair, starting from the top of your head all the way down. Once the braided crown is done, secure it into place with bobby pins and hair spray. If you would like to make your hairstyle more romantic and interesting, simply add a few small flowers or bows to the braided section.
Wedding Hair No.3: Bombshell Waves

To recreate this look, use a texturizing spray that will give a hold to your curls and keep them long lasting throughout the day. You can make this hairstyle even more voluminous by creating a mid-part and softly teasing your hair before starting to curl your locks.
