They don\u2019t call it “The Big Day” for nothing – it will be the best day of your life, and certainly the most photographed one. Choosing the right hairstyle and makeup look is one of the most important wedding decisions you\u2019ll make, and you don\u2019t want to look an inch less than perfect.<\/p>\n

To help you make your decision, we have rounded up the most popular wedding hairstyles, and the makeup that will complement it best. But first, let\u2019s go over the basics:<\/span><\/p>\n

Hire a Professional<\/h2>\n

It is highly recommended to get a professional hairstylist and makeup artist<\/a> to do your hair and makeup for your wedding day. After all, you want it to be perfect (and to stay in place).<\/span><\/p>\n

Practice Your Look<\/h2>\n

There is no room for error on your wedding day. You\u2019ll have enough to think about on your wedding day, so don\u2019t leave testing out your hair and makeup until the day of. Trial your hairstyle and makeup before the big day so you can make any changes beforehand and be confident in your look.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fake Tan<\/h2>\n

Most brides will get a spray tan before their big day to achieve that perfect bronzed glow. A fresh tan also compliments a beautiful white wedding dress, and is sure to make you look perfect in all of your wedding photos!<\/p>\n

False Lashes<\/h2>\n

False lashes are a popular choice for brides. They don\u2019t have to be big – wispy falsies on the outer corners of the eyes will make the eyes pop, especially in photos.<\/span><\/p>\n

Airbrushing<\/h2>\n

Airbrushed makeup is becoming more and more popular on the wedding scene. It lasts all day, gives a flawless finish and offers a higher coverage.<\/p>\n

Long Hair<\/h2>\n

>Statistics show that long hair is the preferred length for brides, and most brides-to-be will grow theirs out for the big day.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Do Anything Drastic<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s important not to get carried away on your wedding – you want to stay true to yourself and your style, and not venture into a realm of hair and makeup styling that you wouldn\u2019t normally.<\/p>\n

For example, if you never wear a bold lip, don\u2019t start now just because it\u2019s your wedding day. Similarly, if you always wear your hair out, never up, don\u2019t think you should style your hair in an updo just because it\u2019s your wedding day.<\/p>\n

Your bridal hair and makeup should accentuate your natural beauty. You want to feel comfortable on the day and be able to look back at your photos without any regrets.<\/p>\n

3 popular bridal styles: hair and makeup<\/b><\/h2>\n

The glamorous bride -Chic, bold and luscious<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re glamorous by nature, you should go glam on your wedding day.<\/p>\n

Glam bride hairstyle:<\/b> Hollywood, baby! <\/span><\/p>\n

Hollywood waves with a sweeping side parting are the perfect glam hairstyle.<\/p>\n

Glam bride makeup:<\/b> Big, bold and flirty<\/span><\/p>\n

To complement a glam bridal hairstyle, you should have a bold lip (red, burgundy, mauve are popular shades). You should also experiment with a smokey eye, black eyeliner, flirty long lashes and illuminator on the high points of your face.<\/p>\n

The boho bride – Relaxed, romantic and ethereal<\/h3>\n

If your day-to-day style is a bit more bohemian, and you love to work with colours, textures, layers and accessories, a boho-inspired bridal look will be perfect for your wedding day.<\/p>\n

A boho bridal look is also the best choice if you\u2019re getting married in a natural setting, like on the beach or in beautiful gardens.<\/p>\n

Boho bride hairstyle:<\/b> Pretty, textured and loose<\/p>\n

Stunning boho-inspired bridal hairstyles include loose braids, fishtail plaits and half-up, half-down dos. Instead of wearing a veil, you could try threading flowers and jewellery through the hair.<\/p>\n

Boho bride makeup: <\/b>Shimmery, dewy and bronzed<\/p>\n

Metallic, rose gold shimmers are popular for brides this year. A dewy, sunkissed base will complement a boho hairstyle, so experiment with cream highlighters, blushes and bronzers. For a boho-inspired bridal makeup look, full coverage isn\u2019t essential – the more natural, the better.<\/p>\n

Classic bride makeup:<\/b> Blushing bride<\/span><\/p>\n

The makeup look that will complement a classic updo works to enhance natural beauty: flushed cheeks, false wispy lashes, a lick of pink on the lip and glossy lids.<\/span><\/p>\n
