Wedding Day Details

If social media is any indication, wedding season is upon us—for better or worse. And although, weddings can mean a lot of different things to different people, to me weddings have always been about the little things. Small delicate touches, that make the day sparkle in an extra special way. That’s why I’ve carefully scoured our inventory to find the prettiest picks, worthy of even a royal wedding. 

So bare with me, as I take you on a whirlwind tour of bright pastel colours, hints of shimmer, and delicate feminine touches. 

Fragrance First

Did you know that smell is the strongest sense tied to memory? That may sound like a cliché, but there’s some actual science behind this frequently totted fact. In fact, for that reason, many brides pick out a unique perfume just for their special day. Kate Middleton even chose a special wedding day perfume comprised of gardenia and jasmine, ensuring that the royal wedding is always a spritz away. Whatever wedding day scent you choose, make sure that it’s long-lasting and pleasantly different than your everyday fragrance. 

Famed wedding dress designer, Vera Wang has her own fragrance line making it possible for any bride to claim that she’s wearing “Vera Wang” on the big day. The perfume is even called Sheer Veil, making it the perfect wedding pick. 

If you were to choose a wedding fragrance based on scent alone, then I highly recommend Victoria’s Secret Victoria. Sure, it’s not the most sophisticated pick, but there’s something so enchanting about this perfume that I simply cannot stop sniffing it. So before they cart me off to perfume rehab, I wanted to make sure that I got the word out about this simply divine wedding fragrance.

Nail your wedding look

If you’re gonna put a ring on it, you better make sure that your nails look the part. That said, there’s no need to upstage the dress with flashy or bold nails. Instead, try something neutral and simple with just a touch of bling (it’s a special day afterall). Orly has a wedding themed line with shades such as “Lift the Veil” and “Kiss the Bride.” Layer these bridal pastels with a bit white glitter from W7 and you have the perfect wedding manicure.

Shine bright like a diamond

On your special day, you should glow naturally from within. However, with a pound of waterproof makeup on, you may need a little help to achieve that luminous glow. W7 has one of the best and cheapest highlighters you can find. Apply a bit to the apples of your cheeks, bridge of your nose, and any other features you want to accentuate. 

Tears of joy

It’s your party, so cry if you want to...but just make sure you bring the waterproof mascara. Whether you’re a guest in the back pew or the bride, herself, tears are bound to be shed when you’re at a wedding. To avoid looking like a raccoon on the big day, swipe a few strokes of waterproof mascara on your lashes. The masterminds at Maybelline have created several popular waterproof mascaras such Lash Sensational and Volum'Express, so you never have to sacrifice beauty for practicality.
