REVEL Beauty: Bridal Hair
After the dress, a bride's hairstyle and makeup tie for the next top priority. Collect your favorite looks and share them with your stylist - leave nothing to chance! We asked the beauty experts at Face Time Beauty Concierge for their favorite bridal hair looks: romantic, classic, beachy, bohemian. Our models? Only our favorite wedding experts, captured by Jainé of Brklyn View Photography.
Below on Lauren of Loli Events, a classic half-up, half-down do is pretty and polished, perfect for her shoulder-length bob. Add a pair of pearl drop earrings, and a classic pearl and pave pin for the ceremony, and you've got 20's glamour. Finish things off with a couture mini-veil headpiece for a dramatic reception look.
Below left, Newlywish's Amanda put her shoulder-length brunette mane into a timeless, impeccable high updo. We added a pearl and rhinestone pin, set off by simple pearl stud earrings. Flawless.
Below right, Auburn-haired Anna of Just About Married swept her lovely locks to one side, and added a dramatic rhinestone pin that shows off her stunning hair color. To keep her lovely natural waves, we kept her hair down and loose, with just a few pins to keep away flyaways.
Sarah of Brilliant Event Planning was an actual bride to be, with a wedding that took place days after our shoot. Sarah's intricate updo (below) wove in a lovely braid together with romantic pin-tucked curls. It's a showstopper. 100% Downton Abbey.
And for you ladies wanting perfect locks for all weekend long? Jackie of Merci New York shows you how it's done. Below, top - her blond locks are styled into loose waves perfect for a destination wedding, a rehearsal dinner, or a daytime shower. Add a mini-veil headpiece from Jackie's shop on to amp up your look, or an intricate rhinestone headband (bottom, right) for a boho-chic vibe. For the ceremony, a soft, low chignon (bottom, left) is a timeless beaut. Yes, you can have it all.
We styled our lovely models with baubles from Greenwich Jewelers, and hairpieces from Gabriella Bridal Salon, Jackie's on Newlywish, and Shopbop.
