Bridal hairstyle and accessories: semi-curls and flowers
The wedding hairstyle is that element that is least affected by trends, since brides choose the look mainly based on their personality and tastes. In any case, semi-gathered hair with braid continues to be the favorite look of current brides for their big day, as they are a very versatile and romantic hairstyle. Another very popular style is represented by loose hair with flowers, and finally the accessories with rhinestones, such as tiaras and barrettes.
Bridal make-up: the smokey nude triumphs
Brides want to enhance their natural beauty and for this reason effortless make-up is the favorite of Italian brides, with a particular preference for the smokey nude. The use of glitter details in the bride’s make-up is an emerging but growing trend, which gives a touch of fantasy to the look. There are still few brides who dare with this new trend, but it is only a matter of time and soon we will see more and more couples shine in the moment of their Yes!
Intense blue tuxedo for the groom
In recent years there has been a lot of talk about casual style spouses, however one of the favorite outfits of the newlyweds is the deep blue tuxedo. Another very popular option is the smart casual style, with split suits in which different colors and fabrics are combined to give a touch of freshness to the classic style.
