To cater to every bride with their different wedding functions, we have curated the top trending bridal look to create stunning and memorable hairstyles and makeup for your clients’ big day!
Monochromatic Magic
Unlike the traditional bridal hairstyle of making a bun, many brides are opting for an open hairstyle look. This is one of the trending bridal hairstyles especially for day weddings, regardless of the bride's attire’s color palette. To create the look, blow-dry hair using Vega Professional hair dryers and their nozzle attachments to offer focused airflow for natural-looking lustrous hair. For clients with thicker hair which is easily prone to getting tangled, you can choose to create simple waves throughout the length using a professional hair waver with adjustable temperature control for smooth and effective results. Match the look with similar-looking shades in eyeshadow, lipstick and blush to create a graceful result and radiant finish.
Gracefully Bold and Beautiful
No matter the kind of hairdo you decide for your bold bride, ensure you give an extra height on the crown for a stunning finish. Ranging from textured buns created by first crimping the hair for volume to twisted updos with fresh flowers or jewelry, these hairstyles are perfect for different hair lengths and types. Incorporate the look with smokey eyes and bold lip shades to create a timeless elegance. Go for jewel tones with winged eyeliner and bold red lips in a matte base to balance the overall look, perfect with lehengas and gowns.
Soft Glam Chic with Romantic Waves
One of the perfect bridal makeup and hairstyle for cocktails, you can create this look for your client to flaunt a glamorous and chic natural look. For the hair, create Hollywood curls or loose beach waves using the Vega Professional Pro Cera Curls 32mm Curling Tong to give a romantic touch that frames perfectly well with evening gowns and party sarees. For clients who do not wish to leave their hair completely open, they can enhance the style with a half tie and add hair accessories. Finish with a shine spray.
For the makeup, try a natural look with champagne tones for the bride-to-be which can be experimented further with bold colors if needed on the lips. Give a dewy skin and use a lightweight foundation. If she decides on a natural look, finish off with a neutral pink lip shade. This soft glam look enhances the natural beauty and features of the face.
Traditional Braids with Classic Makeup
Many brides love the idea of going all traditional to exude the elegance of their rich culture. Try some ornamented braided bridal hairstyles ideas such as Dutch braids or fishtail braids styled with golden beads or chained hair jewelry that go all the way to the ends. Detangle the hair and straighten it with the Vega Professional Pro-Shyne Titanium Hair Straightener featuring 38mm wide rose gold titanium plates, adjustable temperature settings and a 360° swivel cord among others. Then create the braids with your choice of look at the front (curled strands or sleek finish).
The No-Makeup Makeup Elegance
The versatility of bridal hair styles for a bride who is looking to adorn a no-makeup makeup look is plenty. You can try everything from buns and braids to wavy hair, depending upon the type and color of her attire. Finish the style with volume and intricate hair accessories that match the work in the bridal dress. For the makeup, ensure an even application of foundation with minimal eye makeup and nude lips. Complete the makeup with a pinkish blush and highlighter on the high points of the face to enhance that bridal glow even more.
To match with the current bridal makeup trends even for a traditional look, be sure to create well-defined eyeliners with eyeshadows in gold-tone and pink or brown nudes. The look goes perfectly well with sarees or lehengas and without the hassle of hair pulls throughout the wedding rituals.
