What is your unique bride style? Pinterest is a sea of inspiration but how do you truly identify  who  your bridal spirit animal is?

Below, I have pulled together 8 types of brides based on my years in the wedding industry, my travels and experience in the luxury hair care world.  These bride styles seem to represent the majority of types but of course, we all know that neat little categories hardly encompass any of us fully. And putting ourselves into a box is never a good thing.

That is why I invite you to read through these 8 bride types and find your bridal spirit animal. Which one do you identify with the most. Or better yet, which amazing combination of the styles below will make up your purely original bridal style?

What characteristics make you uniquely you?  Find your own unique bridal style and use it to plan a wedding unlike anyone else’s and make it one that won’t soon be forgotten.

 

 

Boho Bride:

You have a wanderer’s spirit. You’re  an adventurer. Your style is a bit unconventional and you embrace freedom and love for all. You are not tied down to any particular aesthetic and your wedding will be centered around connecting with, and enjoying your friends and family.
Your wedding hairstyle is loose, free and intentional with an effortless feel.
Your makeup? It’s about creating a natural look with a hint of drama, usually with a soft, smokey eye makeup look, a pop of colour on the cheeks and a natural, kissable lip.

Your beauty comes naturally, and is driven by what’s inside more than what’s outside. You tend to go with the flow when it comes to a beauty regimen and prefer to simply take care of your body and treat yourself right rather than use a lot of product.

Classic Bride:

Your wedding style is timeless and never goes out of fashion and your beauty and taste will always transcend. Photos of your wedding will never cause you to cringe and say “What was I thinking?” and your wedding style  will never scream a particular decade. Family, tradition and perhaps your faith are very important components of your wedding. You are kind and down to earth.

Like a timeless love story or a beautiful sunset, your beauty style stands the test of time. Your style is not overly complicated, but it looks marvelous and often leads people to wonder how you do it.
