I UP-DO!

There are so many different ways to have your hair styled for your wedding, with incredible up-dos and flowing down-dos. 

We always advise our brides to not go too far from their normal hair style, so that they will be happy with how they look in the photos and their groom will recognize them from the end of the aisle!

Before you get to your wedding day it is important that you have had a trial so that you know exactly what works for you and your hair stylist will be the best person to give you advice depending on your face shape. This way you will approach your wedding day knowing you will look and feel a million dollars walking down the aisle.

Another important element to take into consideration is your wedding theme, have you been inspired by the Cannes Festival this year with the highly fashionable 1920’s glamour vibe coming from the upcoming Great Gatsby Film? 

Why not consider a traditional hair piece to add to the effect, not only are they very flattering, they also give a further element of glamour. With a slight curl to your hair your guests really will be transported to another time of sophisticated elegance. 

Have you decided on a 60‘s retro wedding with bright and bold colours, circles and curves? If you have a traditional bob this is the perfect time to wear a simple down-do with a with your bob ends flicked under to give a fabulous 60’s glossy shape.

Would you like a princess themed wedding, would you like your husband to be to be your prince charming? Why not choose a Cinderella style bun with lots of pretty crystal detailing to show off your beautiful face? This look works perfectly with a full skirt princess dress, and ‘glass’ sparkling slippers!

If you are having a beachside relaxed wedding and don’t want a large day, why not go for long flowing curls and flowers in you hair in perfect harmony with your flowing dress that floats in the breeze, this will be a perfect look for your photos and keep you calm and cool all day.

If you love the Great Gatsby trend too, check out the photos below.

Which Dress To Wear On Your Special Day?

Your wedding dress has to be the most important dress you will ever buy or wear. You will want a dress for your wedding in Portugal that will make you look and feel the most beautiful you have ever felt.

Should you choose a different style of dress if you are getting married in a Portugal? For us the answer is a resounding no… have exactly what you want! An off the shoulder dress is perfect for a warm Lisbon evening of celebration or a Boho long flowing dress will be cool for a relaxed beachside Algarvian party . Maybe a sexy short dress to show off your tanned legs, or an eye catching dress in a deep colour to keep in with your exotic theme. Why not celebrate in your cultural style dress? 

It is easy to take your wedding dress to Portugal, there are lots of stunning dresses in fine fabrics that will fit perfectly into your hand luggage, or check with your airline to see if you can take your dress on board in a suit carrier and simply hang it up!
