OMG! Your Ultimate Bridal Beauty Guide for 2023!

The wedding industry is constantly evolving and changing, and it's no surprise that bridal trends are always changing as well. With the start of bridal season, it's time to start looking at what's going to be hot in the world of bridal beauty here in 2023. From statement hair to natural makeup, here's a breakdown of the top bridal trends for the year. 👰

Bridal Hair Trends

Statement Hair: One of the biggest bridal hair trends in 2023 is statement hair. This means that brides are looking for unique and bold hairstyles that make a statement. These hairstyles can be anything from intricate updos to bold braids to polished ponytails, and they often feature interesting textures and shapes. Statement hair is all about showing off your personality and making a big impression on your wedding day!


Hair Accessories: Another big trend for bridal hair in 2023 is hair accessories. From delicate flower crowns to bold statement pieces to jewels, brides are using hair accessories to add some extra sparkle and glam to their wedding day look. Hair accessories can be used to complement your dress or to add some interest to a simple hairstyle. The possibilities are endless, and there are so many options to choose from.


Vintage Styles: Vintage hairstyles are always a popular choice for brides, and this trend is set to continue in 2023. From classic finger waves to retro updos, vintage hairstyles are perfect for brides who want a timeless and elegant look. Vintage hairstyles can be paired with a variety of dress styles, from boho to classic, making them a versatile choice for any bride.


The “Bridal Chop!”: There's a new trend that's been making waves in the world of bridal beauty, and it's called the "bridal chop." This trend involves getting a haircut in between the ceremony and the reception. It's the 2023 version of changing from a ceremony gown to a reception gown, and it's quickly becoming a popular choice among brides.


The bridal chop is all about switching up your look and making a statement on your wedding day. It's a way to refresh your hairstyle and feel like a whole new person as you move from the ceremony to the reception. And it's not just about getting a trim or a few layers chopped off. Brides are opting for bold and daring cuts, from pixie cuts to edgy bobs, that really make a statement.


One of the benefits of the bridal chop is that it allows you to have two distinct looks on your wedding day. You can have a more traditional hairstyle for the ceremony and then switch to something more daring and fun for the reception. This is especially great for brides who want to let loose and have some fun on the dance floor without worrying about their hair getting in the way.


Of course, getting a haircut on your wedding day can be a bit nerve-wracking, especially if you're not used to making such a bold statement with your hair. But with the right stylist and a clear idea of what you want, the bridal chop can be a fantastic way to elevate your wedding day look. Plus, you know a Poshed™ Pro will be able to travel wherever you are on your big day!


If you're considering the bridal chop, it's important to do your research and find a stylist who specializes in cutting hair for weddings. Make sure to bring plenty of inspiration photos to your appointment and be open to your stylist's suggestions. And most importantly, remember that your wedding day is all about you, so choose a hairstyle that makes you feel confident and beautiful.

Bridal Makeup Trends

Natural Makeup: Natural makeup has been a popular trend for awhile now, and it's set to continue long into 2023. Brides are opting for a more minimalistic approach to their makeup, focusing on enhancing their natural beauty rather than covering it up. This means that you can expect to see more nude lip colors, natural-looking brows, and soft eye makeup on brides this year.


Statement Lips: While natural makeup is still a popular choice, many brides are also opting for a bold lip color to make a statement. From bright reds to deep purples, statement lips are a great way to add some drama and interest to your wedding day look - and to match your wedding flowers or bridesmaids. Just make sure to choose a long-lasting formula so that your lip color stays put throughout the whole day.


Face Jewels: Another trend that's already taking off in 2023 is face jewels. These sparkly accents can be used to add some extra glam to your makeup look, and they come in a variety of shapes and sizes. From subtle rhinestones to bold gemstones, face jewels are a fun and playful way to add some extra sparkle to your wedding day.


How to Make Your Bridal Makeup Last

One of the biggest concerns for brides on their wedding day is how to make their makeup last throughout the ceremony and reception. With all the hugging, dancing, and kissing that takes place on a wedding day, it's important to take steps to ensure that your makeup stays put - after all, you’re definitely trending! 😉


Prep Your Skin: Before your makeup artist arrives, make sure to prep your skin. This includes cleansing, toning, and moisturizing your face to ensure a smooth base for your makeup. You may also want to use a primer to help your makeup last longer, but your professional will most likely have this for you.


Layer Your Makeup: To make your makeup last, it's important to layer it in lighter layers. This will help to build up coverage without caking or creasing (though you will naturally have some creasing by the end of the night - we’re all human!). However, it's important to avoid layering too much eye makeup, as this can lead to smudging or smearing.


Brighten Up Your Face: To make your face look brighter and more awake, try adding a tiny bit of blush to your chin. This will create a subtle glow that will last throughout the day. 😊


Use Setting Powder Strategically: When using setting powder, it's important to use it strategically. Only press the powder into the areas where you apply concealer, as this will help to set the concealer in place. For the rest of your face, see below!


Layer Blush and Bronzer: To create a long-lasting, natural-looking flush on your cheeks, apply a cream blush and bronzer first. Then layer powder bronzer and blush over the top to set your makeup in light layers on your cheeks.


Finish with Brows, Eyes, and Lips: To complete your bridal look, finish with brows, eyes, and lips. Use a waterproof mascara to prevent smudging, and a long-lasting lipstick or lip stain to ensure that your lips stay put throughout the day. Finally, finish with a setting spray to lock everything in place! Voila!

Bridal Nail Trends

Classic Styles: When it comes to bridal nail trends, classic styles are always a popular choice. From French manicures to simple nude shades, classic nails are timeless and elegant. These simple styles are a great choice for brides who want to keep things understated and sophisticated.


Chrome: Chrome nails are set to be a big trend in 2023. These shiny, metallic nails are perfect for adding some extra sparkle to your wedding day look. From silver to rose gold, there are a variety of chrome shades to choose from, making it easy to find the perfect match for your wedding day.


Pearl Accents: Finally, pearl accents are a big trend for bridal nails in 2023. These delicate accents can be added to your nails in a variety of ways, from small pearls placed strategically on your nails to pearl-studded nail art. Pearls are a classic and elegant choice, making them perfect for a bridal look.


Now that you know what trends you want to follow for your big day, it’s time to start creating your wedding beauty timeline!

Preparing for your wedding day is a big task, and one of the most important aspects is getting your beauty routine in order. To ensure that you look and feel your best on your big day, it's important to start planning your wedding beauty timeline well in advance. Here is a comprehensive guide to help you plan your wedding beauty timeline, from six months out all the way up to the big day.


6+ Months Out: Six months out from your wedding day is the perfect time to start updating your skincare routine. Start by visiting a dermatologist or esthetician to get a personalized skincare routine that works for your skin type. This is also a good time to start incorporating healthy eating and fitness habits into your daily routine. This can include things like drinking more water, eating more fruits and vegetables, and incorporating regular exercise into your schedule.


If you're thinking of changing your hair color or style, now is the time to start experimenting with different looks. Schedule appointments with your stylist to try out different hairstyles and colors to find the perfect look for your wedding day.


2-5 Months Out: Two to five months out from your wedding day is the perfect time to start scheduling your hair and makeup trial appointments. This is the time to try out different hairstyles and makeup looks to find the perfect look for your wedding day. It's also a good idea to schedule tanning trials during this time, to ensure that your tan looks natural and even on your wedding day.


If you haven't already, start shopping for bridal accessories, such as jewelry, hairpieces, and veils. This is also a good time to schedule your nail trial, so you can try out different nail styles and colors before your big day. And if you're thinking of getting your teeth whitened, now is the time to schedule your appointment.


1-2 Weeks Out: One to two weeks out from your wedding day is the time to start finalizing your beauty routine. Schedule a facial appointment to ensure that your skin is glowing on your big day. This is also the time to schedule any last minute hair services, such as a trim, treatments, or root touch-ups. And if you need any waxing done, now is the time to schedule that appointment as well.


2 Days Out: Two days out from your wedding day is the perfect time to get your manicure and pedicure done. This will ensure that your nails look perfect on your wedding day. It's also a good idea to schedule a spray tan appointment, to ensure that your skin has a healthy glow.


The Big Day: On your wedding day, it's time to let your beauty professionals bring your dreams to life. Relax and enjoy the process, and trust that your hair and makeup artists will make you look and feel your best. It's also a good idea to have touch-up products on hand, such as lipstick, powder, and blotting papers, to ensure that your look stays fresh throughout the day.

Don't Forget About the Rehearsal Dinner

While the focus of your wedding planning may be on the big day itself, it's important not to forget about the rehearsal dinner. This is the perfect opportunity to spend time with your closest friends and family before the big day, and it's important to look and feel your best for this, too.


For the rehearsal dinner, you may choose to hire a professional hair and makeup artist to create another stunning look. This can be a great way to try out a different look from your wedding day - such as something bold if you’re going to be soft and classic for your wedding. You want to ensure that you look and feel your best for this occasion, to be extra confident for the big day ahead.


In addition to hair and makeup, it's also important to make sure that your nails are done before the rehearsal dinner. See our timeline above. 😉 When planning your wedding beauty timeline, make sure to schedule in time for the rehearsal dinner. This may mean scheduling hair, makeup, and nail appointments for the day before the dinner, or even earlier in the week if you have a busy schedule.


It's also important to communicate with your bridal party about the dress code for the rehearsal dinner. This will ensure that everyone is on the same page and feels comfortable and confident in their attire.


It’s YOUR Big Day After All!

In conclusion, there are plenty of exciting bridal trends to look forward to in 2023 when it comes to hair, makeup, and nails. Whether you prefer statement hair and bold makeup or classic styles with a touch of sparkle, there's something for everyone.


And planning your wedding beauty timeline is an important part of preparing for your big day. By following these guidelines and starting your planning early, you can ensure that you look and feel your best on your wedding day. Remember to trust your beauty professionals, experiment with different looks, and most importantly, have fun with the process.


Remember, when it comes to bridal beauty, the most important thing is to choose a look that makes you feel confident and beautiful. Don't be afraid to experiment with different styles and trends until you find the perfect look for your special day.


And most importantly, have fun with it! Your wedding day is a celebration of love, and your beauty look should reflect that. So embrace the trends, try something new, and enjoy every moment of your special day.
