Flower Power

A strong trend toward sustainable, outdoor weddings lends itself to matching bridal hair and makeup. Create your own flower crown by weaving your favorite florals into a delicately undone chignon and evoke a sense of connection with Mother Earth. Soft, natural makeup is a perfect harmony to this wedding look, which is rapidly growing in popularity.

The Romantic

Gather natural textures or curls into a loose chignon below the crown of your head, adding minimal accessories and framing your face with a soft and organic touch, or choose to let your tresses flow freely. Choice of makeup depends on you – try a wine-colored lip and neutral eyeshadows, or elevate the drama by adding a bold cat eye and lengthened lashes.

Braid Creativity

Bend your hair to your will and weave your locks into a variety of designs and levels of style. Braid half of your hair at the back of your head and relax the rest of it into beach waves. If your tastes are more modern, ask for bubble braids, a fresh and hot look sweeping the fashion world. The sky is the limit with this incredibly versatile hair trend. Add smoky eyes and a soft nude lip or barely-there makeup and a creamy matte gloss to perfect this in-vogue look.
