Choosing Your Bridal Beauty Style

I often get asked this: where do I start? How will I know what looks best on me? Here are some tips to get you started on your search for thee perfect look for your Special Day.

Consider your overall wedding day vision

Was there a particular theme or look you were going for? Taking this into consideration will help determine what styles to look for. For example, if your vibe is more boho-chic then opt for loose, flowy braided hairstyles over sleek and refined ones.

Be yourself

Regardless of what you choose you will always look gorgeous on your wedding day! While you can opt for a completely new and fun look, my suggestion would be to stay true to who you are play off your everyday style. If you’re not one to wear a lot of makeup everyday I would recommend going with more of a natural makeup look. If you always wear your hair down you may feel uncomfortable with a tightly pinned updo. If you always wear a bright lipstick than you can incorporate it into your beauty look too. Staying true to yourself will also help you to feel confident and comfortable when the attention is all on you.

Research!

Sites like Pinterest and Google are great to get inspirational photos. I recommend having two or three looks you like, or aspects that you like, and speak with your artist(s) on how they would look on you. You can also look at pictures of dresses similar to yours and see how professionals have styled hair and makeup on the model.

Look through older photos of yourself when you got your hair and makeup done for events. What did you like? Didn’t like? What felt comfortable wearing all day? Seeing photos of yourself already wearing potential styles may point you in the right direction (or show you what to stay away from).

Stay away from super trendy looks

If you’re unsure of what style to do I recommend sticking to classic and timeless looks. While we love a modern Bride, super trendy styles can date your photos. Ever look at someone’s older wedding pictures and say “your hair was so 80’s?” – the same rule applies. Obviously styles will change through the decades but classic/clean looks tend to stand the test of time.

Adriana and Kafi did hair and makeup for myself and three bridesmaids and I could not be happier with their work. They also made us all very comfortable and we had a blast chatting with them during the process. The wedding guests complimented us and were very impressed. Adriana was also very organized and fast to respond during the planning process which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend reaching out to Adriana for your hair and makeup needs! Thank you to Adriana and Kafi for setting me up for success on my big day!

Adriana and her team did such an amazing job on hair and make up for myself (bride) and my bridal party. The hair and make up stayed perfectly all day and I got so many compliments. Adriana is also super helpful and friendly which made the morning of my wedding nothing but smooth sailing. Her prices are also sooo reasonable, esp compared to what other artists charge! 100% recommend her and her team!

Adriana was so fun to work with, and committed to ensuring I loved my hair! Had a last min change of mind and she was quick to pivot for me. Her assistant Karen was also amazing; my bridesmaids and I all asked for very different looks, and we were all obsessed with our hair!

Adriana was one of my best vendor decisions for my wedding! I absolutely loved my look, and all my bridesmaids looked beautiful as well! It all held up really well and it felt lightweight, but I felt my best! I also had a really great experience working with her throughout the entire process - she is professional but easy-going and has a fun personality. I highly recommend her!

I found Adriana online via posted recommendations and seeing the gorgeous photos of her work. Boy, am I glad I chose her for my wedding! Adriana was professional, accommodating, prompt in her communications, and a pleasure to work with! From the Hair/Makeup Trial to the Wedding, she made me (and my Bridesmaids) feel comfortable, and honored our vision for what we wanted to look like. On the Wedding Day, my Bridesmaids and I felt absolutely gorgeous and got many compliments on her work. The hair and makeup work she and her colleague did for us lasted well throughout the day. Thanks for everything!

Adriana did hair and makeup for me and my bridal party. She was absolutely amazing to work with and made my morning a lot calmer. There was a lot of dancing and my hair and makeup stayed absolutely perfect the whole day. Even my mom who doesnt normally wear makeup was very happy with Adriana's work and loved how it turned out. Would highly recommend Adriana!
