Romantic Waves
At the Jenny Packham 2016 bridal show, the inspiration was "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and hairstylist Kevin Ryan created a hairstyle that was ethereal but edgy. To get the look, he smoothed the hair with a Unite Flat Iron, $225, and then added two or three bends (also with the flat iron) at ear height. Then, he locked it all in place with Unite Go365 Hairspray, $31.

The Ultimate Braid
"Rather than accessorizing with jewelry, [Reem Acra] wanted all attention centered around the hair -- creating an unexpected piece of bridal 'jewelry,'" said DiMaggio. He used extensions to create a "structural" braid and then embellished it with diamond and pearl pins, wraps and even iron-on stars. Finally, he locked it all in place with Davines More Inside This is a Strong Hair Spray, $29.

The New Wedding Manicure
At Jenny Packham, nail artist Julie Kandalec used one coat of Essie Tying the Knottie (a sheer pink from the 2015 bridal collection) and topped it with Essie Set in Stones (silver glitter) and Essie Summit of Style (bronze glitter) to create an ombré effect. While full-on nail art can be too much for a wedding, this manicure is spot-on.
After the dress (and, sure, the groom), your wedding hairstyle, makeup and manicure are major decisions. While your wedding lasts only a day, you'll have your pictures forever -- and the wrong lipstick color will ruin them. No exaggeration.
Fortunately, there's no shortage of wedding beauty inspiration, and the most obvious place to look is bridal fashion week. And we got the how-to tips straight from the experts themselves. With a little imagination (and some hair extensions) you can recreate these wedding hairstyles, pretty makeup looks and manicures for your own big day. They're on trend, but classic enough that they'll never go out of style -- so you'll love those pictures until death do you part.
