Browsing Pinterest for wedding hair and make up ideas can be a whirl wind. Up? Down? Wrapped around in a bun? Rosy lips? Contouring cheeks? The ideas are virtually endless. We have some suggestions and pointers on how to calm your nerves about wedding hair and make-up.

First, close your Pinterest screen. Second, take note of how you currently have your hair styled and how much make-up you have on your cheeks. Your groom fell in love with the woman you are on a daily basis, so go as natural as you can! Or course, we do suggest you brush your hair and apply make-up. However, feeling comfortable in your own skin on your wedding day is what we are emphasizing. Your comfort with your hair-do and make-up will shine through in your wedding photos, and your groom will surely appreciate your confidence.

Visit a local make-up counter and get some suggestions from a professional. Ask them to give you a natural makeover so you can learn what looks best for your skin type and face shape. Then get some pointers on how to make your eyes and lips pop! Test out some different looks before your wedding day so you are confident in the make-up you do wear on your special day. Maybe even show off some of your make-up trials to your fiance and see his reactions!

We also suggest you do a few hair trials before your wedding. If you regularly style your hair up and away from your face, that is how you will feel the most comfortable on your wedding day, too! Try some wedding hair styles that keep you from having to put your hair behind your ears.If you usually style your hair down, then try some soft ways to style your wedding hair down. Try some half-up styles to give your veil something to rest in. The possibilities are endless, but do what makes your feel the most comfortable.

We love seeing the different hair and make-up ideas of our brides. Choosing a look that is best for your body is a must and something we appreciate when photographing your beauty!

EXTRA TIP : Schedule some of your hair and make-up trials around your engagement photo session or your bridal photo session. This will give you the chance to see how your styles photograph!
