Make me over, make me nice: Hair & Makeup Inspiration

My hair and make up trial was last Friday. I booked it with a local company, known for their talent and good rapport with brides in the area. In preparation for the trial I was asked to bring the following: photos of hair and makeup that I like, photos of my dress, photos of accessories I will be wearing (jewelry, veil, flowers).

It was easy to gather photos of my dress and accessories, but I never really thought of the looks/hair/makeup that I wanted. Looks such as classic, traditional, glamorous, natural, vintage are ones popular among brides. Considering the wedding is casually modern and by the beach, I would like to go for a classic and natural look. Some curls, although my hair does not hold a curl, and soft makeup.

The following is my inspiration.


A clean and fresh face to last the day. I like natural tones, some shimmer, and a light feel.




My ideal hair would be half up, half down with body and loose curls.


I have bangs that sweep across my face, so I would also like to keep them for the wedding day.


A relaxed, casual elegant look is perfect :)

Where did you draw your wedding day hair & makeup inspiration from? Did you have a certain style/look you wanted to achieve?
