How To Achieve A Timeless Wedding-Day Look

With so many emerging wedding trends today, it can be confusing and intimidating to choose which wedding look to go for on your big day. You may be tempted to hop on the latest trend, but a good question to ask before doing so is: Will this bridal look stay gorgeous and in style when we look back to it decades later? 

Trends will change over time, but a classic wedding look will never go out of style. When going for a sophisticated, timeless wedding look that you’d want to be proud of for years to come, consider these practical tips:

Keep Everything Simple

The best thing about a timeless wedding look is how simple it is to achieve and maintain, as opting for a classic wedding eliminates most of the guesswork and tough decision-making. It means going for an already established style, and you no longer have to decide which of the basic elements will go well with each other.

The combination of simplicity and elegance is what makes a traditional wedding captivating, so when planning for your bridal look, try these tips:

Gown and shoes

Choose a classic white wedding gown over a contemporary and trendy one. Opt for minimalist designs and flattering silhouettes that exude simplicity and elegance. Also, consider adding a traditional white wedding veil to add that final traditional appeal to your look. 

For your bridal soles, prioritize comfort and versatility. White shades and a simple design will look well with any style of traditional wedding gown.

As for the groom, it is also important to pay proper attention to his wedding ensemble. Make sure that he matches your classic look and won’t clash with the entire theme of the wedding.

Hair and makeup

When it comes to bridal hairstyles, choose a style that will complement your wedding gown and veil. You’ll never go wrong with the classic bun, curls, and ponytail, but there are lots of other options for a timeless look. 

For your makeup, the safest way to go is to choose a natural look, which will definitely go well with any wedding dress and hairstyle. A natural no-makeup look will also make you look gorgeous during your wedding and in wedding photos for years and years. 

If you’re unsure which is best for you, your makeup artist can help you choose a timeless makeup look that won’t make you look pale and instead highlight your best features.

Jewelry

Wedding jewelry is the “icing on the cake” of your bridal look. It accentuates your wedding look and makes you stand out on your special day.

To achieve a classic look when choosing wedding jewelry pieces, steer away from chunky statement jewelry that will steal the show and compete with your overall look. Instead, go for timeless diamond wedding bands and classic matching jewelry pieces to complete your bridal ensemble.

Blend In Some Modern Touches

In achieving a timeless look, the key is to keep things simple. However, following a strictly classic theme for your wedding can feel restrictive and make it difficult to customize to reflect your unique style. 

To subtly break the monotony and add an element of interest to a classic wedding look, allow yourself to add some trendy touches to the mix. Consider using a fashionable hairpiece, a contemporary bouquet, and other decorative accents. However, limit yourselves to just a few small modern touches to avoid overdoing it.

Let Your And Your Partner’s Personality Shine Through

What’s better than trying to achieve a certain look for your wedding? Just let your natural self shine through on your big day. Your genuine happiness and lovely personality together as a couple are still the best part of any wedding.
