Fall/Winter Bridal Trend

Part of what makes a wedding special is putting in little personal touches or unexpected details...I especially love it when a bride decides to throw in an accessory that's more on the fun side or even a little trendy!

A few things I see fitting in with bridal trend during the cold seasons...

What better accessory for a chilly weather wedding than a pretty coat?! Definitely a good idea for some cute pics outside before you walk down the aisle! DIY Tip: this coat is from the juniors section in Nordstrom...every year they sell peacoats in all colors for around $50 (sometimes cheaper if on sale!).  They come with basic buttons that looked very casual so I went to the craft store and found these gorgeous antique inspired pearl buttons. A quick button swap and voila! A fancy-shmancy coat!

Are you a lipstick or vintage loving gal? Opt for vintage earrings, layers of pearls, or a punchy lip (or as in the case of our model all 3! Ha!)! A bright peach is a great way to rock the vintage look while still being current (bright lips are huge this fall in makeup trend!) and is a nice change from the usual red. Upswept hair with a little texture completes this look (styling compliments of Ashley B!)

Sparkly heels! Who wouldn't feel like a million bucks in these glittery gold colored babies?! I've seen versions of these all over the place and they can be pretty pricey. Our lovely model Ashleigh snagged these at Target! I would have never guessed...they were stunning!

Another cold weather accessory: a scarf! Snag one in a shade like your wedding accent colors. Avoid bulky knits and opt for more of a pashmina or a chiffon or silk scarf. Looks cozy while still being classy! Love trends and fun bold statements? Go for an animal print! Again this can be for pics before or after the ceremony or better yet: before you enter your reception lose your veil and wrap a gorgeous scarf around your neck to change up your look!

A classic smokey contoured eye is always in style! To learn how to do this makeup look click HERE. Ashleigh looks absolutely lovely don't you think? Thanks for the amazing pics Lydia Photography!

While classic is always nice, there's nothing wrong with your wedding or your bridal style reflecting who you are at the time you get married! Don't pass up on something you like because you're afraid it'll look "dated" later in pics...guess what, it still will no matter what! So don't be a fashion victim but enjoy the time you live in and capture it!

So Cheers to Style, Class, and maybe even a little Leopard Print on your big day!

What a loud mouth!!

Lipstick really is a solution to life's many problems: Feeling a little down? Lipstick! Out of blush? Lipstick! Need to look done-up in a hurry? Lipstick!

That being said, one trend I am really going to enjoy this Fall is a bold pout! And what's so great about this trend is that it is not the usual plums that are in...colors that we usually would associate with warmer weather will be the way to go!

Hmm...you know what else is great about lipstick? That even when I can't afford a new wardrobe or expensive handbag, I can go to the makeup counter and pick up a new shade of lipstick and feel like a million bucks!

Here is a dose of Lip-spiration to get you going today...
