Classic Wedding Hair

The Ballet Bun

A bun is one of the most chic and timeless bridal options you can go for. What is so fantastic about this look is that they are easily maintained all day and against all elements. If you are looking to accessorise this style up a bit, a ballet bun is beautifully paired with a veil, crown, bridal comb or even some simple white flowers as seen below.

Gown: Belladonna by Wendy Makin

The Chignon

Release your inner princess with this hairstyle. The variety of looks you can do with this style is endless. A side style paired with a clip is a stunning option for a more luxe look, keep it classic with a more sleek style or amp up the volume with a textured, braided style.

Via: Luv Bridal and Formal

Loose Waves

These is nothing more sexy than loose, textured bridal waves. This look is so effortlessly romantic and easy for brides that are blessed with long and luscious locks. Add an element of whimsy to your look with some greenery in your wavy looks or up the romance with a classic white veil to complete your look.

Comb: Luv Bridal and Formal

Graceful Low Veil

Eternally timeless and graceful, this look paired with natural makeup and an elegant gown screams romance and class but won’t steal your thunder.

Dress: Belladonna by Wendy Makin

Half Up, Half Down

Pair a luxe barrette with classic half up, half down style and some stunning accessories for a regal and luxury look.

Dress: Essense of Australia

Flowing and Floor Length

Sleek and elegant, effortless and striking are the words that define this look. If you are seeking a chic style, a slick bun and a floor length veil is all you need. Here the saying ‘less is more’ rings true.

Veil: Rosa Clara

Classic Wedding Makeup

Barely-There Bridal

Barely-there bridal is more popular than ever before… and with good reason! The soft dewy style will give you a radiant, otherworldly glow without leaving you cake-faced. The uber-flattering trend incorporates warm, creamy tones and just a hint of shimmer.

Bold Brow

Accentuate those #onfleek brows and your stunning eyes with look. A soft lip colour and natural bronze all over will leave you look like a goddess.

Timeless Peach

To brighten up your ethereal, goddess like glow, think understated yet feminine and opt for soft gold, dusty pinks and subtle peach hues. Pair this look with naturally glowing skin and cheeks with winged liner, subtle shadow and nude lips for a sweet style.

Makeup: Veronika Moreira

Sultry and Smoky

Up your eye game with sultry smoky eye paired with a nude lip for a slightly dramatic yet elegant look. Super seductive and sweet all at the same time!

Classic Red

We are in love with this bold red lip and blush cheeks for a luxury bride. Don’t fear, this look won’t be too OTT, rather will only emphasise this Gatsby style.
