Style a Glamorous Bridal Look in 3 Easy Steps

Want to look amazing on your wedding day? It’s not as hard as you’d think! Feel extra-glamorous and create your own princess-inspired look with just three items.

Dazzling Headpiece

Bel-Aire-Bridal-KT-Merry-6649

If you’re going for a classic or formal bridal look, a veil is a must-have. But did you know that your headpiece is what really ties in your theme?

Whether you want a vintage vibe or romantic style, your hair accessory makes or breaks the look. Choose a shimmering halo for boho-chic sparkle; a lace and rhinestone headband for classic elegance (style 6649 shown); or an Art Deco design for jazz age glamour.

Sparkly Bracelet

Bel-Aire-Bridal-KT-Merry-BC134

Beauty is in the details. You might think no one will notice if you’re wearing a bracelet or not, but you’ll love the close-up photos of your bouquet and ring if you are!

Choose a glamorous cuff or clasp bracelet (style BC134 shown) for a touch of shimmering elegance that will dress up your whole look. Belts are also a great way to personalize your gown.

Fabulous Earrings

Bel-Aire-Bridal-Jen-Fuj-Photography-EA213

Perhaps the most important element of a glamorous bridal ensemble, dramatic earrings are practically required (style EA213 shown). If you’re wearing your hair up in an elegant bun, you’ll get incredible sparkle in those photos. If you’re going hair down, a bit of bling can still shine through.

You can add some shoulder jewelry or a necklace if you’re sporting a strapless gown, but don’t overdo it. Try on everything together and strike the perfect balance.

Want to get your husband-to-be involved in the wedding planning process? Show him a photo of a groom wearing a pink cummerbund and tie. That’ll get his attention quick.

Then consider these five tips for coordinating a wedding together:

Most guys are willing or even eager to choose their own attire. Check out our Style My Groom board on Pinterest for ideas that range from classic to retro, preppy to jazz age! If he doesn’t step up, you can absolutely feel free to pull out the pink for him and his groomsmen.

*

Coordinate your wedding style together. For example, if you have your heart set on a ball gown, a casual look for him might feel out of place. Similarly, if he likes the traditional look of a tux, you might reconsider going barefoot on the beach.

*

Unless he wants to dance to your favorite tunes all night, he should help compile a song list! Many guys enjoy picking the DJ, choosing a signature groom’s drink, designing the wedding cake, or scheduling the getaway car.

*

Play to each other’s strengths. The tech-savvy partner might be interested in trying a GoPro, scheduling a videographer, handling social media, or creating your wedding website. The artistic partner might enjoy designing your invitations, picking wedding colors, or making DIY decorations.

*

Talk about which tasks you’re excited to do and which ones you’re dreading. Help each other out! These days, there are no set masculine or feminine roles in wedding planning.
