As award-winning hair and makeup artists in Austin, Texas, we have worked with a lot of wedding parties. We’ve worked with brides who knew exactly what they wanted for their wedding day hair and makeup, and we’ve worked with brides who had no clue where to start.
Do you have an entire Pinterest board dedicated to your hair and makeup for your wedding? Or maybe you’re too overwhelmed to begin. Either way, this blog will help you narrow down your options and choose the perfect look for your Austin, Texas wedding!
Picking The Perfect Wedding Hairstyle
Here’s the first thing you need to know about choosing your hair and makeup for your wedding: you get to choose. We can present all the options in the world, but at the end of the day, this is your wedding. No one else’s opinion matters!
So now that we have that settled, there are a few things to consider when choosing your wedding day hairstyle!
The Style of Your Wedding Dress
This is the first thing we ask when helping a celebrant choose their wedding hair. Certain styles compliment certain necklines!
For instance, I like to pair a high neckline with a sleek ponytail or bun. Sweetheart necklines always look good with a romantic, windswept, half-up, half-down style. Strapless dresses look stunning with hair cascading over your shoulders (ask me about Hollywood waves sometime - I will talk your ear off!).
But the neckline isn’t the only thing we consider. What about the overall style? Is your dress more modern or classic? Flowy or structured? All of these things help us choose a wedding day hairstyle that creates a cohesive look.
Your Hair Texture & Length
As a Latina woman in the bridal industry, I’ve learned that your specific hair texture can be your superpower. I love complementing your natural hair and creating an effortless look! No matter how long or short your hair is, we can create a style that makes you feel beautiful.
Accessories
Do you have specific accessories you want to wear on your wedding day? Do you have a veil, a tiara, special pins, or combs? If you know what accessories you want to wear, we can create a hairstyle that shows them off!
How To Choose Your Wedding Day Makeup
Just like your wedding day hairstyle, your wedding day makeup is about you. It is about what makes you feel beautiful, confident, and carefree. These tips help you narrow your search, not tell you what you “should” do. At Luna Beauty and Bridal, we are here to listen to your desire for your hair and makeup for your wedding!
What makeup styles do you wear in your everyday life?
Yes, your wedding is a special occasion. But that doesn’t mean you should choose something completely out of character for your wedding day makeup! You want to look back at your wedding photos and feel like yourself.
So, what makeup do you enjoy wearing? Do you prefer bold looks with red lips and dramatic eyeliner? Or do you prefer more neutral “no makeup” makeup? Do you prefer a flatter, matte finish on your skin, or a dewy, glowy finish?
Answering these questions will help direct you to the best makeup look for your wedding.
What season is your wedding in?
Different seasons bring out different makeup trends. Spring and summer weddings attract lighter, pastel palettes, while fall and winter makeup trends towards darker, richer palettes. This isn’t a hard and fast rule, and ultimately, you should choose a wedding day makeup look that makes you feel beautiful, no matter the season.
Your Wedding Theme
What is the overall theme or “vibe” of your wedding? Is it more rustic? Urban? Old money? Edgy? If you’re struggling to choose your wedding makeup, try to match it to the vibe of your wedding!
Soft glam complements every wedding theme and helps celebrants feel like an elevated version of themselves. If you are looking for a bold, striking style, search for high-glam inspiration!
Choosing the Right Wedding Hair and Makeup Artist in Austin, Texas
Choosing your hair and makeup artist for your wedding is a big decision.
Think about it - your hair and makeup artists are going to spend your entire wedding morning with you. Make sure you enjoy being with them, trust them to deliver the look that you want, and to keep your wedding day running smoothly!
This is why we always recommend a Bridal Preview. This way, you can envision your wedding day hair and makeup and get to know your stylist! The Bridal Preview is a great way to alleviate stress around your wedding day and narrow down your hair and makeup choices.
The in-studio trial includes long-wearing hairstyling, makeup, individual or strip lashes, and accessory placement. You can get a first-hand look at your wedding hair and makeup before the big day so you know exactly what to expect the morning of your wedding! Our brides love the Bridal Preview and feel so much more comfortable after seeing their vision in real life.
