This week, The Knot, provides us with Bridal Beauty Rules that every bride should know! These tips will help ensure you look and feel fabulous when you say "I do!"
- I Will Not Over-Accessorize - Instead of piling it on, choose one memorable piece (heirloom earrings, a rocking birdcage veil) and work simple accessories around it for a balanced look. Your veil, bouquet, and even your gown's embellishment count as accessories!
- I Will Play Up My Best Feature - You know your best feature. Maximize it! Accentuate radiant skin with a light-reflecting lotion; open up gorgeous eyes with a few loose false lashes instead of a whole set; or find the perfect lip stain to enhance your smile.
- I Will Find a Veil That Works With the Shape of My Face - Figuring out the right veil and hairstyle combo can be tricky. Here's the bottom line: With hair and veils, width adds width and length adds length. If your face is round, pick a narrow veil or hairstyle; if your face is long, choose one with more volume.
- I Won't Limit Myself to a Strapless Dress - Strapless is by far the most popular but pardon us for sounding snarky: There's nothing worse than watching a bride on her wedding day constantly tug and pull on her dress because the neckline doesn't fit her right. If you have a full bust, consider an off-the-shoulder or sweetheart style; if you're not well-endowed, opt for a V or Sabrina neckline.
- I Will Wear Metals that Match - This one is a little technical yet important: The accessories you choose to wear should depend on your wedding dress hue. If you're wearing a bright white dress, stay away from gold (which could clash) and stick to pearl and platinum. For a diamon white dress (slightly off-white), gold and silver works; and an ivory wedding dress calls for gold and warmer metals.The exception: Don't ditch your engagement ring if it doesn't match.
