“Bridal makeup for my dresses always has to be romantic, ethereal and also demure in a very sophisticated way” – Carolina Herrera

Carolina Herrera’s Spring 2014 Bridal Collection is classic romanticism meets Old World grace. The makeup paired with the regal gowns lent softness to the overall look that was delicate yet daring. Rosy lips and cheeks with shimmery eyes completed, rather than competed with, the wedding dresses. Unlike what’s shown on the spectacular Parisian runways, the makeup worn by models at Bridal Fashion Week in New York can be easily translated for regular women.

Monique Lhuillier’s designs have always been undeniably romantic, ultra-feminine and utterly dreamy.

Ladylike elegance mixed with a hint of whimsy defined the Monique Lhuillier Spring 2014 bridal collection. Only the most refined bridal look would do for such magical creations. Whether veil or no veil, the right makeup and hairstyle is one of a bride’s most important decisions for her wedding…second to dress and of course, the VOWS.   A bride’s perfect style will compliment both the gown and the makeup and evoke her most beautiful self. For Spring 2014, Monique Lhuillier took inspiration from a classic, regal style with a hint of old Hollywood glamour.

Runway makeup as seen at Vere Wang

The Spring 2014 Bridal Collection celebrates a sense of architecture and discipline. The graphic play of black and white, the layering of new laces, texture on texture and an exploration of different volumes all express a new level of modern sensuality with a decidedly fashion edge. In terms of wedding make up, all things dewy and fresh were taking over the Spring  2014 runway at Vera Wang, and this beauty trend couldn’t be more perfect for your choice of wedding make up. Even better, a dewy complexion bridal look is easy to achieve. We love how the shimmery blush swept up the face to meet eyebrows accentuated with charcoal pigment for a bold structural effect. Vera Wang has an affinity for making women look like the most gorgeous versions of themselves. Whether through simple, stunning makeup, soft hair, or perfectly crafted updos, the bridal designer never fails to put on a flawless show.

Makeup as seen at Marchesa‘s bridal collection.

In terms of wedding make up, at the Marchesa Spring/Summer 2014 Bridal Runway Show, the look of innocent dolls with pinched pink cheeks is a stunning beauty trend to use for your wedding. Gucci Westman also created an ethereal, luminous look with a soft smoky eye and glossy lips.To add dimension to eyes, Westman used a mix of grey and brown shadows on the lid and added a bright white shade as highlighter around the eye.

As models came down the runway with lustrous hair and flushed cheeks, Reem Acra’s bridal collection evoked an ethereal quality.

It is clear that Reem Acra’s designs epitomize global glamour by offering brides her innate fashion sense. Interlaced with her sense of luxury, her regal designs were developed with a modern aesthetic.  Interlaced with her sense of luxury, her regal designs are developed with a modern aesthetic. As for the hair and makeup, it’s definitely a look you want to steal. To mimic the same untamed and yet unknown sexuality of the dresses hair was left wild and loose. Center parted to keep things in the realm of the cute, but the curls are undone reminding you of something else. The models are at once confident and coy which could be due to their flushed cheeks but understated lips. Definitely a showstopper!

Lasting Impressions… “Rare is a bride who can deny the sentimental romance of a wedding gown, and none can deny the luxury of couture.” – Ines Di Santo

As dreamlike as the impressionism movement that inspired Ines Di Santo’s 2014 collection, the bridal gowns were designed to have a captivating quality of feeling vintage and modern at the same time. Her gowns were named after regions of France, the birthplace of the impressionism movement. Like the paintings of Monet, Renoir and Degas, characterized by the artists’ visible brushstrokes, you see the same with Ines. The trends seen on the runway were the new low buns that are slightly loose and less polished with an elegant vibe. This hairstyle maintains a feminine approach while offering a sleeker edge. We just love this elegantly swept to one side, low-lying bun, so simple yet sophisticated…
