1/5

makeup For a more dramatic take, extend eyeshadow upwards and outwards to give your peepers a lifted look. A darker shade at the outer corners and a lighter one on the inner corners creates more dimension. Don't forget to blend! Try: these pink makeup styles for Asian brides.

bouquet Bridal favourites in dreamy pastels, like baby pink peonies and peach stock, are made for romance. For a hint of playfulness, break up the soft colours with bright accents, like these fuchsia gerbera daisies.

Crimson Impact

5/5

makeup Pull the focus to your face with a boldly painted lip. For a defined look, apply highlighter on your cupid's bow with a concealer brush, advises makeup artist Kenneth Lee.

Finish with an artfully disheveled ponytail for a youthful spin.

bouquet Bring classic glamour to your bridal ensemble with a clutch of crimson blooms. This elegant shape is perfect for gowns with a more structured or graceful silhouette, like a fluid A-line or mermaid.
