Ethereal wedding style

For a wedding that’s out of this world, why not have an ethereal or fairytale theme?

There are so many gorgeous fairytale wedding dresses, as well as pearl or floral accessories, that help you achieve the mythical look.

As for makeup, try ethereal nails with an iridescent finish, soft base makeup, highlighter and shimmery eyeshadow.

Bridal up-dos

The clean girl aesthetic has made its way into bridal hair. Sophisticated slicked back buns (with an optional middle parting) are becoming popular with brides, including celebs like Sofia Richie Grainge and J-Lo.

That doesn’t mean your hair has to be totally minimalist, as many brides add in accessories or have elaborate veils. The elegant up-do also keeps your hair off of your face and allows your jewellery or hair accessories to stand out more.

Natural bridal makeup

It’s all about natural, effortless beauty on your big day – even if it takes 30-odd products to get the look.

To achieve no-makeup glam, opt for a light coverage foundation or tinted moisturiser, neutral eyeshadow shades to give a bit of definition, a light sweep of glowy bronzer and blush, as well as nude-coloured lip gloss.

Of course, it helps to have a good base to work with. To achieve flawless skin, it’s all about the prep. Check out these beauty glow up tips to try ahead of your nuptials.

Sage green themed wedding

Sage is a gorgeous colour, so it’s no surprise it’s been popular at weddings this year. From invitations to napkins, there are lots of ways to incorporate the fresh green hue into your big day.

One of the most popular ways to use the colour is in bridesmaid dresses, and it also works well in bouquets! For a pop of colour in your own bridal look, why not incorporate sage into your nail art or jewellery?

Floral wedding accessories

Obviously flowers are a big part of your wedding day, from your and your bridesmaids bouquets to florals around the venue. But many brides are embracing even more of a floral theme, adding flowers into their veil, hairstyle, jewellery and nail designs.
