Bridal 2010 Trends

Wedding nails trend

Natural nails are definitely more popular than acrylic or gel ones; which give you a synthetic, over-styled look and can even make holding the bouquet awkward.

If you are sitting on your hands thinking about this then its time for you to take a break. Ditch the falsies and give your nail bed time to replenish.

you are officially required to stop washing the dishes now! Yes, there’s gloves but you’ll shortly learn to mysteriously lose these! After all this is the final acid-test for any husband-to-be.

In our treatment studio they do marine mineral glow manicures and pedicures that stimulate the skin and nails and leave your hands and feet looking years younger, naturally.

Closer to the time try a polish from the Essie bridal collections colour range that provides a gorgeous French manicure or a natural look. Note the one you like and schedule your final manicure and pedicure for the day before (or even the morning of) your wedding.

they recommend that you take a quality nail-strengthening multivitamin like ‘Skin Essentials’ by Solar Technologies which will boost your skin and hair simultaneously.

Bridal make-up 2010

The make-up that the artist uses is important to consider. If you require to try a new product be sure to check it on your skin weeks before.

select a make-up artist that has been recommended to you by a trusted source or someone you have seen the completed product on. If you’ve seen something you like up close and personal, take a lovely look at how the make-up photographs .

Some things to remember:

If you like a certain professional brand, enquire in-store about whether they have make-up artists for weddings remember to always do a trial and confirm your date, your venue and all other requests.

* Do keep your skin looking dewy and fresh by using a tinted moisturiser or moisture-balanced make-up.

* The make up is only as lovely as the skin you apply it to. Professional Facial Treatments will do wonders for your skin tone so that your make up glides on and stays on. Flaky or dead skin build-up makes application difficult and shortens staying power.

* Do remember that foundations with some yellow undertones work best with flash photography.

* Don’t get carried away with shimmer highlighters or light-refractive make-up. In photos your shimmer can easily turn in to an unflattering and highly reflective shine.

* Bridal make-up should be elementary, yet elegant. It’s important to remember that make-up should not compete with your dress but complement your overall look.

* Do ask your make-up artist to be leaving you with a small offering of the lipstick he/she has used on your lips for the big day. With all that smiling and kissing you will need lots of touch ups.

2010 bridal hair

In recent years, lots of brides have selected not to wear a veil and that trend continues in to 2010. If this is what you are thinking then wear your hair pulled off your face and secure it with a tiara or headband. If a veil is part of your look and something you require in your tradition then be sure you rehearse this with your hairstylist. Decide when you require to take it off and be sure you are able to ‘re-design’ your look without it.

Half up, half down

This style pulls a number of your hair away from your face, but also leaves the back portion of the hair long and flowing for effect. The emphasis is on romance in 2010 and this includes loose up-styles, soft ringlet curls and long, soft waves. It’s a more natural look than the coiffed up do.

Up or down? That’s the age elderly dilemma when choosing a wedding hairstyle. one of the most popular trends in terms of bridal hairstyles is the half-up, half-down look.

Don’t wash your hair the day of your wedding. It will be soft to hold any style. Instead wash it the day before.

Do schedule a practice appointment with your hairstylist before the big day to decide on your look and avoid last minute mishaps. Take photos of your ‘do’ and wear it for the day to see how it holds up.

Crystals are popular bridal hair accessories in 2009 but not in the form of hair combs, pins and headpieces. Crystals can be woven in to the hair on thread to give your style an overall, subtle sparkle. they can also be used with long or short hair, worn up or down.

Bridal dress designs

Don’t experiment with a new colour close to the big day. I recommend colouring your hair at least a month before your wedding. This will give the colour time to tone down, and if (gasp) it’s the wrong shade, there’s time to fix your mane.
