We've never understood why summer gets all of the glory when it comes to weddings. Between the gently falling snow and frosted winter panes, winter is an inherently magical time of year. And the season opens the door for some pretty gorgeous bridal hair and makeup. From snow queen-worthy headpieces to rosy-cheeked makeup, these are the stunning winter wedding looks from real brides that we can't get enough of.
If you're looking for a modern take on a headpiece, swap a traditional pin for a dainty crown. The effect is sweet and ethereal, and looks equally gorgeous whether worn with a loose style or an updo.
An easy way to amp up your everyday look, lush lashes work with any kind of makeup. If your fringe is lacking, consider falsies (a few singles applied on the outer corners look the most natural). Finish with two coats of a rich black mascara, like It Cosmetics Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara, $24.
This subtle lip look is essentially a slightly enhanced version of your natural lip shade. It's just enough color to add a little bit of pop without looking like drawn-on lipstick. The sheer finish of lip crayons makes them choice for this kind of effect. Our pick: Wander Beauty Carryon Lip and Cheek Gel in Pink City, $22.
Forget the stiff updos of weddings past. The current trend is all about embracing loose styles with a hint of wave and body. Whether worn completely down, or partially pinned back, your low-maintenance mane will look just as perfect under your veil as it does swinging free on the dance floor.
