The half-up half-down look is making a big comeback this year and allows brides to wear their hair partially down without compromising style. Brides can incorporate braids, add volume for a boho look or keep everything more structured for a luxurious finish. False lashes are growing in popularity as people are wanting to enhance their natural lashes thanks to social media influences being a source of beauty information over the past year. There are so many different styles out there to suit every type of bride. If masks are still required this summer, many make-up artists will use long- lasting lip colours (matte is transfer-resistant) and a good setting spray to ensure the make-up stays in place during these unusual times. Lastly, remember wearing a smile is your greatest accessory!

Many beauty trends over the years have included classic and safe looks, but couples are now thinking outside the box and using make-up as a vessel for their identity now more than ever. Editorial-style make-up, that we’ve seen on runways and in magazines, is making its way into mainstream wedding styling. Faces adorned with pearls and stripped back glowing complexions will be taking over from the airbrushed looks we’ve seen over the last few seasons. Metallic shades won’t disappear, but will be used for an all-over glow rather than structurally placed on the lids. Bright lip products will be replacing classic nude shades when paired with a sculpted smoky eye, and blush is making a comeback from ’80s pop culture. For brides after a more subtle look, don’t worry as there’s always a place for natural-styled looks.

Brides can create a messy and boho textured look with beach-style waves, or opt for defined curls styled into an updo for an elegant but undone style. Another trend this year is the bridal ponytail, an everyday style that’s a huge hit this wedding season. Clients can combine both trends by having beach waves styled into a mid-height, voluminous ponytail. Why not add fishtail braids, which are super popular at the moment, or twists to add some wow factor? Headbands are this year’s go-to accessory, there are so many different pieces that will suit any look. Brides can pick simple or statement items with sequin, diamanté or floral touches.
