7 Fall Beauty Trends For Autumnal Elegance
There's an undeniable magic that envelops the autumn season and this time of year offers an enchanting backdrop for saying "I do." With nature's rich, warm palette and all the cozy fall vibes as your inspiration, it's a perfect opportunity to infuse a bit of these beauty elements into your day. Let's dive into the top fall bridal beauty trends that will make you the epitome of autumn elegance on your big day.
1. Warm, Earthy Makeup Tones
Forget the pastels and bright pinks of summer; fall is all about embracing warm, earthy hues. Think deep burgundies, rich browns, and burnt oranges. These colors not only complement the autumnal vibes but also add a sophisticated touch to your bridal look.
For eyes, smoky shades of brown, copper, and gold can create a stunning, sultry effect. Don't be afraid to experiment with bold, dark lip colors like plum or deep red. These shades can make a statement while still keeping your look elegant and timeless. A stunning balance !
This could be a little orange lot so don’t worry if you’re a natural babe. You can still incorporate these tones just on a subtler side.
2. Glowing, Dewy Skin
We are shifting towards glowing, dewy skin. Achieving that radiant, lit-from-within look is all about skincare prep and using the right products. It’s giving healthy vibes inside and out- skin and being!
Start with a hydrating primer and follow up with a luminous foundation. Highlight the high points of your face – the cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose. This will give you that ethereal glow that's perfect for an autumn look.
3. Bold Brows
Eyebrows continue to be a focal point in beauty. This fall, bold, natural-looking brows are in. Ditch the overly sculpted, Instagram brows and opt for a more natural, full look. Use a brow gel or pomade to shape and define your brows, filling in any sparse areas with a pencil that matches your brow color.
Remember, your brows frame your face, so keeping them bold yet natural can enhance your overall bridal beauty look. Think… Brooke Shields, Hailey Bieber, Lily Collins… may I go on?
4. Romantic, Textured Hair
Fall weddings call for hairstyles that reflect the season's romanticism. Just think, you and your lover with a passionate love stirring your souls like a hot apple cider warms your bones. Now that… but in the romantic essence of hair. Loose waves, messy buns, and textured updos are all the rage. These styles not only look effortlessly chic but also hold up well in the cooler, sometimes unpredictable autumn weather.
Incorporate seasonal elements into your hairstyle for an extra touch of autumn elegance. Think about adding small braids, floral pins, or even a delicate hair vine. These little details can elevate your look and tie in beautifully with the fall theme. If choosing any metal accessories warm tones ( golds and bronzes) can really be the final seal.
5. Nail Art with a Twist
Nail art has become a significant part of wedding beauty ( um HELLO ! All the ring shots!), and this fall, it's all about incorporating seasonal motifs and colors. Rich, dark shades like deep red, forest green, and navy blue are perfect for an autumn wedding.
For a touch of elegance, consider adding gold or copper accents to your nails. Whether it's a subtle metallic stripe, delicate leaf designs, or a full-on glitter nail, these details can make your bridal manicure stand out. This is also a great option if you want a more subtle look like cream or nude nails with a hint of gold or bronze.
6. Statement Accessories
Fall is the perfect time to play with statement accessories that complement your bridal beauty look. Think bold earrings, intricate hairpieces, and even velvet ribbons. These accessories can add a touch of glamour and sophistication to your ensemble.
When choosing accessories, consider the overall theme and color scheme of your wedding. Autumn is all about rich, warm tones, so look for pieces that echo these colors. A pair of gold chandelier earrings or a vintage-inspired hair comb can make a beautiful statement without overwhelming your look.
7. Embrace Your Natural Beauty
Finally, one of the most important trends this fall is embracing your natural beauty. Autumn is a season of change and transformation, but that doesn't mean you need to completely reinvent yourself for your wedding day. It’s also about those comfortable, cozy, welcoming, familiar vibes.
Focus on enhancing your natural features and feeling comfortable in your own skin. Whether it's showing off your freckles, embracing your natural hair texture, or choosing a makeup look that feels authentically you, the most important thing is that you feel beautiful and confident as you walk down the aisle.
As you prepare for your fall wedding, remember that your beauty look should reflect your personal style and make you feel like the best version of yourself. Embrace the rich, earthy tones of autumn, experiment with bold and edgy trends, and most importantly, have fun with it. After all, this is your moment to shine, and with these fall bridal beauty trends, you'll undoubtedly exude autumn elegance. So, are you incorporating anything iconically autumn in your big day?
