Wedding Hairstyles by Face Shapes

Your wedding hairstyle is the most important element to finish your bridal make up. A great hairstyle not only complement your outfit but also reflect your radiant smile. Before you decide your hairstyle, figure out what your face shape is. It is easy, pull you hair back and look straight into the mirror. With an eyebrow pencil, trace the outline of your face. Whatever the shape you’ve drawn on the mirror closely resembles is your face shape.

Wedding-Hairstyles-for-face-shapes

If you are oval
Oval faces are longer than they are wide. This face shape goes well with most wedding hairstyles, pulling your hair back brings more attention to your face, as well as making it seem less narrow. Avoid wedding up-do’s that pile your hair up at the top of your head; these will make your face look longer.

If you are round
Round faces are more or less equal in length and width. High wedding up-do’s that add height to the crown, and wisps of hair framing the face look great with this shape. Or if you opt to wear your hair down, consider long or wavy tresses, both of which hide wide cheekbones and lengthen the face. Try an off-center part, or side-swept bangs.

Square
Square faces are usually characterized by sharp jaw lines. To soften these lines, choose a wedding hairstyle that frames your face with wisps of hair. Or you may opt for romantic curls or waves that will divert attention from your jaw. Parting your hair on the side can also make your face look less angular.

Heart
Heart-shaped faces usually have broad foreheads and narrow jawlines, so they look best with wispy bangs, or with hair framing the face. A half-up, half-down wedding hairstyle would work well this face shape. Also remember to balance the narrow jawline with fullness at the ends of the hair. Pulling the hair back will only highlight the broadness of your forehead.

A Symbol of an Extended Family
When you get married, another new member is added to your family. Symbolize this extension of family with a gift that represents it. For instance, a family tree with a picture of your partner, or an engraved photo frame with a picture of the bride and groom, and the parents of both. If possible, have an artist paint a portrait of all of you together. They are sure to love this one!
A Break
While you went berserk trying to make sure your wedding arrangements completed on time, your parents also worked hard to ease some of your stress and anxiety to help you promise the success of the wedding. But after you go to your honeymoon, where do they go? Treat them to a mini vacation at a resort or a spa, so they too can unwind and relax after the exhausted wedding. This is perhaps the best wedding gift, as it clearly shows how much you appreciate their effort.
Their Wedding Picture
Memories of weddings are eternal and rarely fade away. Have your parents relive their wedding memories, by presenting to them a picture of their wedding day, in a beautiful frame with an engraved message.

Buy Wedding Lingerie by Dress Styles

Right wedding dresses need right underwear to match. It is more than the shape of your wedding dress, but also your own comfort and correct support throughout your whole wedding day that matters. So find a suitable underwear by your wedding dress styles.

bridal lingerieEmpire Line Dresses
An empire line dress is tightly fitted around the bust and then flows from under the bustline. A bra that will help keep everything in place is vital. Try a balconette bra which will give you great uplift or a padded or push-up bra which will help boost your assets.

A-line and Full Skirted Dresses
With these styles of wedding dresses look for body suits which will smooth any bulges and try a waist cincher to pull in your tummy and create a waist line, you could then show it off with the addition of a sash or belt to your dress.

Figure Hugging and Fitted Dresses
Styles such as mermaid gowns, which are generally fitted through the torso, need underwear which will give you a smooth silhouette and a figure which your dress can glide over. Grab some magic knickers, they are perfect for slimming down your tummy and bottom. Another option is a firm control hip and waist slip, not very sexy, but it will smooth your hips and bottom contour.

One Shoulder and Backless Dresses
The problem with these styles is that you still need underwear but don’t want everyone to be able to see it! Look for a magic bra will support your bust without any unsightly straps, so perfect for backless dresses. For one shoulder dresses look for multiway bras which allow you to move straps into various combinations to suit the style of dress you are wearing.

Column Dresses
The secret with these dresses is to allow them to float. Unfortunately the fabric commonly used in their design tends to cling to the body so you do not want underwear that will give visible lines under your dress. Wear a silk slip under your dress which will be cool and comfortable whilst allowing the dress fabric to skim over your body. Also look out for seamless underwear particularly if your dress is made from very light or sheer fabrics.
