Attention 2020 brides! The day of your dreams is only months away and only the last few details are left to be planned. Perhaps you’ve got the main elements of your big day ready to go, but have you thought about how you want your wedding hair and makeup to look? From glittering jewel-encrusted headbands to stunning glowy skin here’s a rundown on the wedding hair and beauty trends all the cool-girl brides will be wearing down the aisle this 2020. Embrace Texture!

1. Waves & Braids

Forget about tight, structured updos, 2020 is all about whimsical, romantic waves and bold, playful braids. Think relaxed but polished loose waves which create a lot of movement. The less structured undefined curls create a soft, natural and voluminous look. For a more unique contrast, opt for a textured, deconstructed look with braids and the use of accessories.

2. Ribbons & Bows

Ribbons and bows are no longer relegated to the dress-up boxes of little girls. In 2020 stylish takes on the girlie accessories are being seen adorning the locks of the most fashion-forward brides. This wedding hair trend can be paired with an elegant and sophisticated wedding gown. Keep it simple with some frills and less embellishment in order to avoid the raided dress-up look.

3. Luminescent Lacquer

2020 is all about wedding-day shine and sheen. Go for natural coloured fingertips, enhanced with a pearly iridescent layer or perhaps a fun glitter gradient. Think of light browns, nudes and baby pinks to compliment that stunning ivory gown!

4. Headband Obsession

On your special day, we want you to shine bright and what better way to match your megawatt smile than a sparkly headband, encrusted with all sorts of jewels and pearls! Glamorous and bold, these gorgeous hair accessories are just the thing to keep those flyaways out of your face while killing it on the dance floor!

5. Glow from within

Get ready to glow! Luminous skin is the number one trend for 2020 wedding makeup. Apply a dusting highlighter across your cheekbones and decolletage for a radiant bridal look which is so in right now! Let your natural beauty shine through with lightweight foundations.

6. Bridal Beauty

Traditional, elegant and simple. Unlike the catwalk neons, we’ve seen trending, bridal makeup looks remain somewhat traditional and natural. With full eyebrows which perfectly frame the rest of your face and a pretty pink hue lip, you’ll be sure to wow your guests with the latest in wedding makeup trends. Want to switch things up? Opt for a darker plum shade which packs a punch and would look stunning for a Winter wedding together with natural, glowing skin.

7. Colour Palette Predictions for 2020

This 2020, think pink! Colour palettes will be focusing on champagne, peachy nude colours. Picture this, a warm eyeshadow look paired with bronzed glowy cheeks and a classic nude lip, stunning right? Incorporate a classic red lip or a colourful eyeliner to add a little pop of colour to your look.

8. For the Grooms

In the world of wedding fashion, brides tend to get all of the attention. Some brides spend hours, days and sometimes even years trying to find their dream gown. The groom, however, tends to go through a much simpler process; go to a local tuxedo shop, find one which fits and call it a day. However, for all the Barney Stinson’s of the world who absolutely love a good suit and are looking to wear a particularly special and trendy suit, here are a couple of trends you can expect to see in 2020. Firstly, slim is in. The narrow cut removes any excess bulk for a more flattering look. Tip number 2: The devil is in the details! Add unique personal details such as a pair of monogrammed loafers or cufflinks. Finally, the 2nd suit! Brides have been wowing their guests for quite some time with a classic reception outfit change. Well, guess what? Grooms want in on the action too! This trend can make your wedding just a little more extra and fun!

9. For the Bridal Party

2020 is all about playful, modern and sophisticated looks. Forget about uncomfortable gowns for your bridesmaids – the modern bridal party dress code is a minimalist look with a focus on comfort and texture. Prints and lace are on their way out, making way for lush satin and soft silk! Structured and crepe fabrics are becoming more popular – helping to create an iconic, structured silhouette. Keep the colour and fabric the same for each bridesmaid but have a different style for each to keep things mixed up! Texture is just as important for the dresses as it is for the hair – think woven ponytails, jewelled headbands or effortless updos to really complement the tactile!

10. Boldly Black Cakes

It might not appeal to every couple out there, but the boldly extravagant, inky-black cake is a sleek look that will definitely make a statement. This ultra-glam design could be dusted with a metallic gleam or trim to enhance the effect.

 What’s out…

Hair: Gone are the days of tight, overworked updos. 2020 is all about soft, textured, effortless hair. 

Beauty: Forget about matte and heavy foundation finishes which can look cakey and unnatural. We can look forward to dewy and glowy skin with soft eye makeup and glossy nude lips.
